    It is amazing that turkeys will actually vote for Christmas, but in the case of south Yorks and South Wales it seems entirely true, they would rather vote for a aspiration to "get rid of immigrants" then keep the economic benefits of eu investment in the local economy. But then again, I'm not that surprised given the whites only taxi service and no blacks darn pit attitude.

    The MP`s wish for Labour to put together an election plan that could win. With Corbyn they are saying that no way will that happen, its simple adjust and possibly win an election or keep Corbyn and be in opposition for the next 20 years, simples.

    If you have a democratically elected leader & you respect democracy then you should get behind the leader, & if not leave the party.
    The Labour Party has to get back to being that party, not the Tony Blair show.

    Completely agree. Its the Westminster politicians who are out of touch. They are feathering their own short term nests. There will be payback though if Corbyn is ousted afetr the election less than 12 months ago

    I guess then Corbyn should have left when he was part of the plot that ousted Kinnock. ?? I`m not for Eagles or anyone in particular its just that Corbyn will never lead the party to an election victory. Labour would win Barnsley with Toby Tyke as the leader, but not an overall victory.

    To win a majority Labour would need to win 318 seats in a general election. In 2015 they won 232, and the SNP won 56 seats in Scotland. Labour can not win a general election without Scotland, and Labour can not win seats in Scotland running on a centre austerity lite platform.

    Based on the above can anyone explain how Labour running on a centrist approach (as they have done in the last two elections) returns a majority?
