Labour in melt down - Again

[SueEllen]

So far two shadow cabinet ministers have resigned over Komrade Korbyn's stance on Article 50 linky and link.

Is there any MPs left for him to choose from to fill the shadow cabinet? This will end up becoming a constitutional crisis if the posts aren't filled.

It seems like he's a real life Catweazle, catapulted from the distant past (the 1970s) into the modern age, and perpetually flummoxed and baffled by new fangled things like telephones, and traffic, and the EU! He even looks the part

[SueEllen]

The joke with the Article 50 is that when he was a back bencher he was the MP who consistently voted against the party whips, and now he expects other MPs to obey him.

I don't think he does, actually, but he needs to impose it anyway and hope that Labour leavers notice. They won't. That said, they might've noticed the universally bad press from a free vote (i.e. HM's Official Opposition with no view on the most pressing issue of our time).

Well HM Official Opposition don't have a joint view on the most pressing issue of our time.

I actually hope they lose the by-elections that have been called so Korbyn is forced to go.

You mean the LibDems were lying in their recent PPB, they're not the opposition?

The LibDem, SNP, UKIP, Greens etc are all "the opposition" but they are not "the official opposition".

If the Tories all got the plague and died then the official opposition is suppose to take over running the country until we can have a general election.
