Njima treba vlast, sve ostalo je nebitno.

 

Treba da promene Korbina jer moraju da dobiju izbore, a Konzervativci su u skoro jednakom rasulu. Korbin to ne može i to je cela priča.

Corbyn hit by more resignations

 

There have further resignations in the junior levels of Labour’s front bench team.

Diana Johnson has resigned as a shadow foreign minister and Anna Turley as shadow minister for civil.

Toby Perkins has resigned as shadow armed forces minister saying that the Labour Party “needs a change at the top”.

 

Shadow housing housing minister Roberta Blackman-Woods is threatening to resign if Corbyn doesn’t step down.

“It is time for another leadership election. It is time for him to go”, she told BBC Newcastle.

Korbin imenovao nove članove vlade u senci, sprema se za novu bitku za šefa partije.

Korbina izdao i njegov čuvar partijske discipline.

 

Our Senior Political Correspondent Sophy Ridge tells me: "I'm told the Labour MP who is orchestrating the resignations is Conor McGinn, in the Labour Whips Office. 

"He's ringing shadow cabinet members and ministers, organising the timings and co-ordinating the resignations to try to cause maximum impact. 

"This is significant because he's one of Jeremy Corbyn's Whips - tasked with ensuring party discipline. 

"Elected in 2015, the MP for St Helen's North warned the party lost touch with its voters on immigration and needs to change course in the wake of the referendum result."

And here’s another Labour resignation - but not one involving the frontbench. Michael Cashman, a Labour peer, is resigning as the party’s global LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) envoy.

Amid a flurry of resignations from the shadow cabinet, Lisa Nandy - the 36-year old MP for Wigan - has zoomed up the rankings to replace Jeremy Corbyn as Labour leader. Some are now offering odds of just 3/1. That puts her in similar territory to Tom Watson, current deputy leader - and silent disco fan.

If you've never heard of her, she looks like this:

Sophy Ridge, Sky News correspondent, has more on her here in The Daily Telegraph.

Još malo oko Korbina i Remain kampanje:
 
 
 
 

First, Corbyn’s base – the source of the enthusiasm and momentum which carried him to his famous victory last year – was the young. Second, the young voted overwhelmingly to remain in the European Union. Indeed, if 75% of the 18- to 24-year-olds who voted, voted to remain, we can reasonably presume that figure was even higher among the left-leaning idealists who flocked to Corbyn a year ago.

Which means a key question in the coming leadership contest will be: to what extent do those young Labour party members and registered supporters blame Corbyn for remain’s failure last week?

Before the weekend, I would have suggested that the fair answer would be: a bit. He had never been more than a lukewarm advocate for staying in the EU and it showed. His performances were flat and he couldn’t hide his own lack of enthusiasm. He confessed to his own tepidity when he rated his own commitment to the cause as no more than a “seven or a seven and half” out of 10. And nor did he help those Labour campaigners, encountering deep misgivings about immigration on the doorstep in traditional Labour areas, when he chose a set-piece interview with Andrew Marr on the Sunday before polling day to say that he did not see either the possibility or the need for an upper limit on migration – and all but agreeing with Marr that if you had concerns about immigration your best bet was to vote leave.

So none of that was exactly helpful. But Labour members couldn’t claim to be shocked: Corbyn had hardly sold himself in 2015 as a passionate campaigner for the EU.

Yet this weekend provided evidence of something much more serious. The BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg and others have seen the documents which prove that Corbyn and his top team were guilty of much worse than a lack of enthusiasm. They engaged in “deliberate sabotage” of the remain campaign. They pulled out of critical media appearances at the last minute, or else passed up media opportunities to make the case against Brexit; they removed pro-EU lines from speeches; they repeatedly diluted the official Labour position of support for in.

My own reporting, speaking to those involved with the in campaign, confirms this account, as does Phil Wilson MP, parliamentary chair of Labour In For Britain. At those moments of the campaign when Labour was to be given the floor, the party had either prepared nothing or used its platform to attack the Tories fronting the remain campaign, rubbishing George Osborne’s warnings of the economic consequences of Brexit for example. There were plans for a dramatic intervention by all Labour’s leaders – past and present – to stand together and call for remain, designed to ram home to Labour supporters where their party stood. But that was scuppered by Corbyn’s refusal to be associated, even indirectly, with Tony Blair. One idea would have seen Blair in Belfast, Gordon Brown in Glasgow, Neil Kinnock in Cardiff and Jeremy Corbyn in England – but Team Corbyn said no to that and every other version of the plan.

Accompanying Labour canvassers in Yorkshire 10 days before the vote, I saw the effect for myself: Labour voters were still unclear whether their party was for remain or leave, and they were certainly not getting the unmistakable message that a vote to leave would be catastrophic for them in particular.

The young idealists who rallied to Corbyn in 2015 need to bear this in mind if and when they come to vote on his leadership. Many in that generation are in a state of mourning following the Brexit vote. They know that their own opportunities have been sharply reduced, that they may well be deprived of the freedom to work and live and seek out new possibilities in Europe. They should know that the outcome they dearly hoped for was undermined by Corbyn, John McDonnell and their most senior lieutenants.
