Title: Tom Watson
Post by: scawsby steve on September 11, 2019, 07:29:04 pm
Does he even like Jeremy Corbyn?

A better question would be, do the Labour Party have a clue what the f*ck they're doing?

Of course he doesn't like Corbyn's Brexit strategy.

Neither do Keir Starmer, John McDonnell or Emily Thornberry.

But they don't matter because Comrade Len is calling the shots unfortunately.

Thanks Billy; you've answered my second question.

Is the strategy Starmer doesn't like the one he was promoting this morning or a different one? Have I missed something?

Corbyn and Starmer and McDonnell & Thornbury all want an election so they can have a referendum.

Watson wants a referendum before an election. As parliament has rejected a referendum 4 times, yes 4 times, it remains to be seen how this will be achieved by this parliament but there you go.

I reckon he should stick to the golf (one for the teenagers).

A friend of mine is a big union man and has an involvement with the Labour Party. He keeps telling me “the members are pulling the strings now and all the Blairites have been put on notice”.

Wilts.

Once again, you know EXACTLY what I mean, but you brush it away.

Starmer, McDonnell and Thornberry have been arguing all summer for Labour to go into the Election overtly supporting a Remain stance.

They have regularly been slapped down by the 4Ms, and it looks like the latter have now won the argument.
