Understand Corbyn is sitting in PLP making copious notes as he prepares to respond to the *feedback* he has received from Labour MPs
Labour MP says there are multiple people called for party chairman Ian Lavery, election coordinator Andrew Gwynne, spin doctor Seumas Milne and (?) Karie Murphy to go immediately.
Interesting: Jess Phillips complained about how Corbyn hasn’t contacted the Labour MPs who lost their seats.

Turns out the only one of the possible leadership contenders to contact the losers that I’ve spoken to is: Jess Phillips

Ex-Labour Ian Austin says he won't run in Dudley. Tells @BBCr4today he will now "tell decent traditional patriotic Labour voters that they should vote for Boris Johnson in this election".
@BBCr4today Austin on Corbyn: "This is a massive step. I regard myself as proper decent traditional Labour. I just think this man is unfit to run the country."
@BBCr4today "I'm not a Tory, this isn't where I want to be... but I wouldn't say Boris Johnson is unfit to be our prime minister in the way that I say that about Jeremy Corbyn."

“Remember when people said... that wind turbines would not pull the skin off a rice pudding”

Which people might that be Mr Johnson?
Am enjoying the replies to this from those arguing that this was deliberate, and #thatisthejoke, without quite being able to explain that the joke is that he used to talk bollocks about green energy
It gets better...

Boris Johnson today: “When did you last hear a Tory leader talk about capitalism?”

John Bercow: "I welcome the Supreme Court’s judgement that the prorogation of Parliament was unlawful. The judges have rejected the Government’s claim that closing down Parliament for five weeks was merely standard practice to allow for a new Queen’s Speech...
In reaching their conclusion, they have vindicated the right and duty of Parliament to meet at this crucial time to scrutinise the executive and hold Ministers to account...
As the embodiment of our Parliamentary democracy, the House of Commons must convene without delay. To this end, I will now consult the party leaders as a matter of urgency."

Ok, apparently, it is wrong for me to put antisemitism and the myriad other issues I have with #Corbyn #NeverCorbyn above voting for Labour and I am just enabling the Tories (and therefore am a Tory). Here is a list of things Labour would rather have than getting the Tories out
Getting rid of Tom Watson is more important than getting the Tories out
Getting rid of Luciana Berger is more important than getting the Tories out

#Tories Election Cock-Up Chaos so far - a continuing series :

01 - #Tories admit and apologise for a doctored, misrepresentative video of Kier Starmer. Tory MPs like @JohnnyMercerUK leave it on their feed and actively continue to spread.
@JohnnyMercerUK #Tories Election Cock-Up Chaos so far - a continuing series :

02 - #Tories Boris #Johnson gets booed out of Addenbrooke Hospital by staff and patients alike, unmentioned by #BBC, who were right there.
@JohnnyMercerUK #Tories Election Cock-Up Chaos so far - a continuing series :

03 - #Tories MP Jacob Rees Mogg blames #Grenfell victims for their own deaths. It takes him four days before he's forced to retract and apologise.

What's the deal with with Jeremy Corbyn? For those who haven't followed the story, here's why so many people, and especially Jews, are concerned about the man who presided over the Labour antisemitism crisis. [A thread based on camera.org/article/jeremy…]
2/ Let's begin in January 2006—it's not the very beginning, but still a very good place to start. Not for the first time, Corbyn then campaigned for the release of two convicted terrorists who who set off a bomb at a London building HOUSING JEWISH CHARITIES and at the IL embassy.
3/ In 2009, #Corbyn warmly called Hezbollah "friends," described them as committed to "peace, social justice, and political justice," and called on people to support them. Hezbollah, a proscribed terror organization, inter alia had BOMBED AN ARGENTINA JEWISH CENTER, killing 85.

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.

Really glad to see the Corbynistas taking the announcement of the @EHRC investigation into #LabourAntisemitism in such good grace..... Oh.
Because there's no Jew-hate in the Labour Party.

Oh.
Exoneration is just around the corner.

Oh.
