Mass Labour Shadow Cabinet Resignations Planned
Quote:
Jeremy Corbyn faces a coup this week by members of his shadow cabinet, led by Hilary Benn, the Observer can reveal.
It is understood that the shadow foreign secretary called fellow MPs over the weekend to suggest that he will ask Corbyn to stand down if there is significant support for a move against the leader. He has also asked shadow cabinet colleagues to join him in resigning if the Labour leader ignores that request

Corbyn (not his politics) is a shower of s**t to be fair. His efforts in the campaign were pathetic and his failure to even address the criticism today were cowardly.

An honest politician who puts principles before power. I may not share his political philosophy, but I believe that what he does is not done for the benefit of Jeremy Corbyn.

Yes I agree mate but sad to say Corbyn is no leader. Besides the public bullshit over this. They would far rather vote for serial liars like Johnson because he is a bit of a character.

Re: Mass Labour Shadow Cabinet Resignations Planned
I have said it before, Labour with Corbyn as the leader stands very little chance of winning anything
i am 100 % labour but really feel no connection with him as all, nothing, nada, zilch

Yeah I agree. I genuinely don't think anyone has a Scoobie about what to do next.

There's zero chance of Corbyn making it until August. I give him 2 weeks at most.

If the British electorate had voted Corbyn instead of Cameron, there would have been no brexit vote this parliament (I voted for Corbyn) :ayatollah:

Yeah, about 50 times, you don't stop saying it. It was weeks ago, let it go and get a grip.

When have non Labour party members had a chance to vote Corbyn over Cameron in a vote which would have had any relevance to the decision to hold the referendum?
The Labour Party was presumably in favour of staying within the EU. I say "presumably" because, in a period where people from other parties talked about little less but the vote on June 23, it was hard for the ordinary man or woman in the street to find out what Labour wanted people who traditionally voted for them to do.
Corbyn came across as weak and, as a consequence, was an irrelevance in the campaign - worse than that, his party came to be seen as an irrelevance largely because of his lukewarm support for the remain cause. If Corbyn really was the secret leave supporter that some claim he was, then he should have had the courage of his convictions and said so - as it is, I fail to see how his performance could have impressed people in either camp and so he and his party has suffered in a campaign in which they came to be viewed as bystanders.
Under those circumstances, it's easy to see why MPs (a group of people who, largely, are against him being leader anyway) from the remain side are deeply dissatisfied with him. The problem they have is the same one the Conservative party will probably have if they select Boris Johnson as their leader (that is, a parliamentary party that has no great faith in a leader who is wholeheartedly backed by the party membership).
If some Labour MPs are discovering the courage to put their heads above the parapet and risk incurring the wrath of the membership because of Corbyn's mediocre referendum campaign then things are getting very serious in the "people's party" and I reckon sacking his Shadow Foreign Secretary will only make things worse for him. I think Corbyn is in big trouble and, after the way he has performed in recent months, I wouldn't be too bothered if he lost the leadership of the party I still feel I should be supporting in the coming weeks - or maybe that should be days.
