Better have a secret ballot in case people get upset
Yes, it's hilarious people are getting rape threats.
Compared to tax and spend - then when you can't tax enough lest you get voted out, borrow the difference.
when we retrain people who lost jobs in industries that no longer exist for service jobs, it will help people get employed which inturn will grow the economy. Initially there will be higher spending but it will only be short term.
Trident is an emotive issue that would surely cause threats from the unstable no?
Im not sure why you think im joking, dont you care about their safety now? I must be missing some obvious context
Wow! Sounds like you are trying to justify rape threats with Trident!

Seriously no white text? I find that very offensive.
My point was clear, if Labour MPs needed a secret ballot because they feared backlash because of the Corbyn ballot vote then on an issue such as trident which is much more militant then they need it doubly so.
But yeah im "justifying rape"

Yeah sorry. I wasn't clear on your point. Although I perceive it to be wrong. The secret ballot can be justified because of the recent rise in threats and the brick attack which happened on the morning of the meeting. It is understandable that people felt under threat. How would you feel if someone targeted you with a brick at work?
I'm warming to Angela
Someone apparently did an arson attack on Corbyn's office last night.
Can't find anything online. I would have expected that to make the news by now! Link?
Dunno I can't either just what someone told me.
It seems to come from this place which seems reputable but it does seem odd that there's only one source and no other news outlet has picked it up
Oh god I listened to Angela Eagle on Victoria Derbyshire she's terrible when she's not complaining about something.
Must have been Momentum!
Just in case anyone's signing up for a union in order to vote in the contest -
I'm sure they'd have stopped people from signing up to vote if they'd been doing so against Corbyn.
I like Owen Smith, to be honest.I think he could be a very good leader. Wouldn't mind seeing him get the job at all.
Just need him to flip-flop on Iraq a few more times and he's golden.
Think it'll likely be him that goes onto the ballot.
Him having actively pushed for privatisation of NHS services could be problem for him.

All we need now is for him to squash a few poor people and he'll be golden for the Labour gig.
What do you think of his background?
I like the fact that he retains centre left policies, some very similar to those of Corybn, and also appears media savvy; potentially better quipped to face the inevitable media onslaught. I'll wait for the leadership debates before I form a solid opinion (and Corbyn has my support as of this moment), but I'm open to a new leader if someone competent and bipartisan enough presents him or herself.
Blairite scum.
What do you think of his background though? He seems shifty as feck to me.
He is shifty as feck. There's nothing wrong with the idea of a decent, viable Labour candidate to replace Corbyn. The problem is that there isn't one at the moment...and if Eagle or Smith are the best Corbyn's opponents have to offer, I don't exactly know what it is they're expecting to achieve.
Is there anything on his past from a credible journalist? By that I mean one that doesn't use the term "red Tory" in their writing.
What specific part of his background are you referring to?
Ex-lobbyist for Pfizer, known as "oily smith", the fact he's been planning this campaign since at least January for 3.
There's a fathers4justice bloke protesting on the roof of Angela Eagle's office at the moment.
Whoever we get if Corbyn is not reelected will be unsatisfactory. I just want the best of the worst.
