    Herb, from what I've read that was introduced by those trying to get Corbyn out because they believe most who signed up since would vote for him.

    I don't know how any of them are more electable. Angela Eagle gave some rubbish interviews and the media didn't even stay for her launch.

    Ironically Jeremy 'the unelectable' got his job by members of the public voting for him as leader, DarthMay got hers because her mates at work voted her in.

    Seems legit.

    The idea that Corbyn won because of members of the public siging up as £3 "registered supporters" is false, he got 162968 votes from party members and affiliates (trade unions, etc) while the other three candiates only got 159246 between them.

    Still if May delivers on her speech this evening we won't need a Labour party.

    ASLEF I'm surprised the other candidates didn't get up a petition claiming it was too close to be valid. ;lol

    She can basically say what she likes at the moment - nobody is going to remember it, or hold her to account.

    I will.


    Don't suppose she's too worried about that, though.

    They didn't need to. A Corbyn supporter had done one before the election when they thought he would lose. ;wink

    BBB,

    Thought that was a good move, it's the place he can do the least damage as it is really the Civil Servants and Diplomatic Corps that run the Foreign Office, the FS is just a figure head who is directed by them - there are literally hundreds of them in place to stop him putting his foot in it....... ;hmm then again, this is Boris were talking about

    At Angela Eagle's shindig tonight, she made a joke about Boris.
    A cry went up from the audience: “He’s the foreign secretary!” Eagle laughed initially, but then looked thunderstruck. “Boris?!” she exclaimed, then temporarily lost for words.

    There was uproar in the room, Labour MPs turned to each other, “are you serious?!” one shouted. Eagle finally regained her composure: “All I can say is never ever say that having a Labour government elected isn’t important.”


    ;lol

    I've avoided this thread for fear of getting involved in heated arguments about the whole thing & I don't want to argue with fellow Hammers,however.....
    Boris Johnson as Foreign Secretary? More embarrassing than England's abject performance at the Euros.I despair for my country,I really do.
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    Madrid - I think May decided a senior "Brexiter" in a senior position would keep the anti-Euro wing of the party happy, she hates Gove so Boris was the obvious choice.

    If his performance as Foreign Sec is anything like his performance as Mayor then he'll spend most of the time overseas and leave the actual work to his underlings. And the first time he gets caught "playing away from home" she can sack him.
