All constituency and branch meetings have been cancelled until the new leader is installed due to threats and intimidation between members.
Someone has been arrested following death threats to Angela Eagle.

Owen Smith has officially launched his campaign this morning and clearly trying to win over the young members that currently support Corbyn. Two blatant pitches, promising a second Referendum if he becomes Prime Minister which would a bit too late in practice and putting the top rate to 50% despite the fact that it would actually bring in lower revenue.

Despite being on the verge of extinction and stuck with 3 candidates that could not possibly be seen as vote winners there are still some that are concerned that nobody female or black has lead the party. If they stay as one party obscurity beckons and much the same if they split into two.

Ms Eagle is gay and Mr Corbyn looks ready to be wheeled around the park with a tartan blanket over his lap before going back to the home for a cup of milky tea.

The Eagle has thrown in the towel, all hopes are now pinned on Owen Smith (who?)

The civil war complete with dirty tricks continues, just a matter of time before the party splits into two.

The latest opinion poll shows the Tories having a 16% lead over Labour who are a total shambles at the moment. Would appear logical for Mrs May to call a snap election soon that may well give them a 100 seat majority and also shutting up the idiot SNP MP's.

The high court has rejected the legal challenge to stop Corbyn going automatically onto the ballot paper so it looks likely he will remain leader after the contest.

i'm sure he'll romp home and that'll be the end of the Labour Party forever i'm afraid.

Weirdo! The Conservatives will have at least a 150 seat majority after the next election.

I think I will have to join simply to get the badges. How many votes do you have this time Captain? Around 40, 000 applications were rejected mostly because they weren't on the electoral register!!
