Meeting for party leaders though. If TIG want to be a party and treated as a party, they should be registered as a party and face the same scruples the other parties do.

The meeting is about briefing all the major groups, he is defacto leader of 11 MPs. They still count as a group, registration admin aside. Pathetic from Corbyn if that is his argument for walking out.

It was a weird election in that May called it and then went in to hiding for the whole campaign. It meant that Corbyn got to set much of the agenda and therefore was able to avoid talking about Brexit, where he knows his views are not in line with most Labour members or voters. It's why I think it's odd that he's so desperate to have an election now, he's not doing very well in the polls and he couldn't avoid talking about Brexit this given that the election would only be called due to the impasse.

As posters have pointed out the meeting does look like a complete sham but I don't expect any better from May or the Tories, the issue at the moment is that Labour's Brexit policy is not any more convincing and him walking out doesn't exactly inspire much confidence.

Stop making excuses for him. You're exactly right, May went into hiding so Corbyn was essentially running for PM against no one and he still bloody lost!

I'm sorry but I deal in empirical evidence and all of the empirical evidence I have seen so far says his views are in line with all of the brexit voting labour voters.

Fair point if that's the case. Not defending Corbyn, I think he should have stayed at the meeting.
 


:lol:

Two party leaders just playing it up for their own supporters whilst we're nine days away.

it's not, it was a negotiated meeting between party leaders, it turned into a briefing and corbyn checked out

Yeah, if the meeting was serious then you would expect:

A) a more diplomatic approach to invites
B) more open and cooperative discussions of the possible ways forward

It was just a political show to berate leaders into following her plan and to blame parliament for the impasse

Which Corbyn somehow managed to turn into an own goal. His continued ability to shoot himself and the party in the foot, given even the tiniest hint of an opportunity, is remarkable.

Once again, we’re reminded that someone with aspirations of winning a General Elections doesn’t seem to have even the most basic idea of how to play the games successful politicians need to play. All he had to was turn up, participate, then spin the meeting as just another Tory driven waste of time; with Labour the only adults in the room. And he couldn’t even manage that. Instead it’s him that’s being perceived as behaving like a child. What an incompetent tool.

But he is the defacto leader of 11 MPs. So they haven’t registered as a party with the Electoral Commission, doesn’t change the fact they are a group of elected MPs with more numbers than the DUP. The excuse from Corbyn either way is pathetic.

They have no policy either, no different to any other independents

Agreed - it was a trap that he fell into and then played himself. Just how they hoped.

Spot on, he has no political nous! He will never win a General Election if you can’t even get an advantage over a incompetent Government such as this.
 
The guy from the SNP is on Sky News at the minute and was asked about the meeting and he said it was the same old story and nothing came of it.

Well put, he's seems so clueless at times it's mind-boggling. Crazy how some are still defending him

You underestimate the government's incompetence.
 
Inviting Chuka is pretty darn contemptible though. You would be pretty put out as a player if the tea boy started contributing to a United team meeting, especially if the tea boy was known for making really shit tea, and was also a complete twat.
 
Would anyone have criticised Corbyn for attending a meeting where Umunna was present? How he decided to leave the meeting when that would only see him ship more pointless criticism, I have no idea.
