Just When it is Corbyn who has hit the record low for opposition Leader satisfaction on Ipsos Mori records. Right back to 1977....
Labour tries to get rid of Watson...

Could they be trying to make sure Watson is not Leader by default when Corbyn resigns?
At -60% that is 4% worse than Foot.

Blair was +7%.

And Labour thinks they are on the right track.

Shrug.
Ah. Just seen this.

Now. What will the members & MPs do?

Will they allow the NEC and the 4Ms to run rings around them again?

Who will win the arm wrestle. They will have to have singular focus and insist on razor sharp if they are to turn this around.

How many people on here think that Labour’s Brexit model is a soft Brexit?

Would it surprise you to know that it is a CU with alignment on SM rules without being IN the Single Market
They seek to end FOM.

That is a hard Brexit
Just not as hard as CETA.
2/. Still would need the backstop.

It would also mean being a rule taker, not maker.

How many of you think that would stop the ERG/BXP/ Leavers from trying to break the year’s of negotiation that would follow withdrawal to achieve the necessary FTA?
3/. So it is not the Norway model (EEA). Norway is not in a customs union with the EU. It doesn’t have the same need for JiT/ manufacturing provisions as the U.K. very different market economy.

This on the EEA model from Prof Dougan @mdouganlpool

Neutrality..is very on-brand for JC.
The facts of Brexit aren’t neutral & Corbyn’s opponents aren’t playing fair. Being neutral is tantamount to doing nothing. Not only is that politically dangerous, it’s dangerous in a way that real people could get hurt

2/. Really excellent from @RikWorth

Thank you.

“Neutrality”. The appearance that you simply don’t care enough for the Leader of the party to fight the Party’s corner, whatever that is, with fire and conviction is not “neutral”.

It is neglect and looks weak.

“By remaining neutral, Corbyn is going to allow Johnson’s dishonesty to rampage through a second referendum practically unchallenged.”

Have you seen this? Seems of interest given your paper on the Qatar 2017 elections

Turns out our old mates, SCL Elections Ltd and Nix, fingerprints were at the scene.

And let's get today's #Brexit thread started

#Letwin is expected to make an application for an emergency debate sometime after 17:30 which, if successful, will result in an emergency debate on Brexit sometime around 18:00

In the meantime the real stuff is still going on...

behind the scenes

Senior Tory rebels have been in to see Johnson and have basically come back out describing the meeting as being crap, and the Johnson is still sticking to the claim that the whip will be withdrawn from any Tory MP that votes against the government

2/n
All the current rumblings from Labour still seem to indicate that they won't back a vote calling for a General Election unless legislation is in place to stop a No Deal Brexit on 31 October, but that's still a case of wait and see

🧵4.1 THREAD—Why Did Jeffrey Epstein Get Such a Lenient Sentence?

*⃣ Part 4—Robert Maxwell & the KGB Coup

Since I posted the last part of this series, Jeffrey Epstein died on August 10, 2019, less than 3 wks after he reportedly told his lawyers that someone tried to kill him.
4.2 Robert Maxwell was the father of Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's longtime companion and alleged "madam."

It has been widely reported that Robert Maxwell was working for Mossad—Israel's equivalent of the CIA.
4.3 Robert Maxwell played an integral part in at least three major international events.

In August of 1991, a group of hard-line members of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union tried to overthrow the government from Mikhail Gorbachev.

Deselection Express
@DeselectNow
The logical fallacies of people is astounding, literally just had someone tell me: Corbyn made the #Labour party swing to the left because he influences policy...

The fact is this: Labour members made the party go left and elected a left leader. Not the other way around.
All these people want to blame Corbyn for anything they possibly can, even if what they say doesn't make any logical sense, and they are so keen to blame him, they don't even realise it makes no sense.
Is the reason I want people deselected because Corbyn set a magic spell and made me want that? No of course not. Its because I am left wing anyway and we make the party greater by removing those who don't work for the people.

Recently Ellie Reeves #Labour MP was reportedly facing a vote of "No Confidence" and "Deselection" @elliereeves received a lot of support from Jess Phillips, Tom Watson etc. No motion was tabled with her CLP so the furore over a pregnant Labour MP being deselected was nonsense.
So let us move on about 1 week from this bogus story to the equally spurious #PanoramaHatchetJob about #Labour and #Antisemitism The usual suspects showed their sham horror of the apparent problems in Labour. #TomWatson #jessphillips
Tom Watson belittled, harangued, bullied and called into question the reliability and fitness of @JennieGenSec to act as General Secretary. Some might question my point on reliability etc. But the image I have attached which Watson and Phillips promote does exactly that.

As promised, here’s the latest update on YouGov’s ‘Who do you think would make the best Prime Minister?’ poll trackers, across a variety of groups.

Once again, a number of fascinating results and trends are revealed.

1/15
This covers the 59 polls taken since the 2017 general election when this ‘best Prime Minister’ question has been asked, and looks beneath the headline numbers to see what’s going on, and where the changes (if any) are happening.

2/15
With the overall headline numbers, February saw Jeremy Corbyn hit his lowest overall score since the GE 2017, at 19%, down from 39% in June 2017.

Theresa May scored 40%, higher than the 39% she scored in June 2017.

Labour Against the Witchhunt wouldn't even report a Nazi.

LAW have welcomed former MP Jim Sheridan's reinstatement by the party. He was suspended last summer over an #antisemitic statement he posted on Facebook. But LAW don't accept he did anything wrong in the first place. /1
When Labour members err, there ought to be opportunity for them to learn from the experience and make amends. But comrade Sheridan's statement after his suspension was lifted suggested his only regret was getting caught and he appeared to blame those who complained about him. /2
Let's recall what got him into trouble: Sheridan declared he had lost respect and empathy for an entire ethnic group - "the Jewish community" - due to events in @UKLabour. The #Holocaust, pogroms and persecution no longer moved him because of "their Blairite plotters". /3
