It has a rung of Truth to it but equally there are many tails of threats to MPs if they disagreed with JC. More than one has claimed that they have been threatened with deselection unless they get in line. Rather ironic as JC made a career out of being a professional pain in the arse

Despite the fact that Hansard provenly informs the general public that UK under Major's Government arms industry dealings knowingly sold chemical weapons to Sadaam Hussein...as did USA; France; Germany etc.

By the way, where was Prince Andrew at the time of Al-Megrahi's release from Scottish prison re: Lockerbie bombing? Andrew was photographed in the company of Colonel Gadaffi as Arms Industry Envoy to UK.

I have heard that even IF Corbyn wins the leadership battle he could be ousted by the MPs so he doesn't actually fight the 2020 election.

I really don't know if this is a possibility or is being planned. I don't spend my valuable time on 'Labour' politics !

The rules are that the leader is elected by the party members and registered supporters so if Corbyn is re-elected the MPs cannot get rid of him unless they keep getting 50 MPs to start the leader election again and I don't believe the Blairites will be silly enough to try and do that again if they have been beaten twice. What they could do is to declare themselves separate from Labour and elect one of them to be their leader, who presumably would become Leader of the opposition. Then the Labour Party could nominate other people stand against each them that went down that road at the next General Election.

Back to Corbyn thread: Pat Glass, Shadow Education Secretary for all of two days, has just resigned citing Corbyn debacle as main reason. That must be a record: TWO days!

A friend posted this in an email. it may of course all be nonsense.

"It now emerges that Hilary Benn and Angela Eagle have been secretly briefing against Jeremy Corbyn for the last 9 months. They have constantly fed information to Laura Kuenssberg and the Murdoch press corps about pending coups and dissatisfaction in the Parliamentary Party.They were planning to move against him on several occasions and chickened out'. The debate on the RAF bombing intervention on Syria on the 2.12.15 was to be the preliminary opportunity for Benn to strike by
speaking out against the Labour line ( which he did to much Tory
applause). This was to be followed up by a no confidence motion after
the loss of the Oldham by-election which was confidently predicted by
the Murdoch press.The plot fell apart when the Oldham by-election was won by Labour, with UKIP in second place and the Tories beaten into third.
Their next attempt was when Shadow Foreign Minister,Stephen Doughty,resigned on air during the BBC's Daily Politics programme on 7.1.16,just before Prime Ministers Questions. Kuenssberg had been briefed by the plotters beforehand and she had fed this information to David Cameron who announced it during PM's Questions to the surprise of the Labour benches.
This plot to usurp Jeremy also fell apart.
All of Kuenssberg's reports which began with 'a senior Labour spokesman
told me....etc.' came from the offices of Benn and Eagle.
Kuenssberg was also informed about the present debacle. The conspirators had received news that Corbyn would suggest the impeachment of Tony Blair if the soon to be published Chilcott report on the Iraq war showed any basis of 'war crimes'. The conspirators decided they had to pre-empt this attack on Blair. It was agreed that Benn would initiate the attack on Corbyn. He awoke Corbyn in the early hours of Sunday morning 26.6.16 with a phone call to inform him of his intention to attack him publicly with a statement of his lack of confidence in his leadership. Corbyn had
no option but to remove him from post.The plan was then to organise a series of resignations with one being announced roughly every 2 hours to give the impression of a growing revolt. This was designed to keep it in the public eye and they would hopefully then encourage others not involved in the plot to join the bandwagon if they thought the ship was sinking.Initially there were 10 Shadow cabinet members recruited. and Eagles was to be the last one to declare in order to separate any association between Benn and herself.She would make a tearful, on-line resignation speech underlining Jeremy's honesty and goodness but saying he had no leadership skills.
"OH ! WHAT A TANGLED WEB WE WEAVE WHEN FIRST WE PRACTICE TO DECEIVE"
