Kinnock....Remember when you were rejected twice by the British electorate? Yet you still managed to weasel your way onto the EU Commission by appointment, often making more important decisions than our elected PM. Please don't comment on democratic issues, you are not worthy!
Jeremy Corbyn stands for real values. Why did Kinnock accept such an anachronistic title? Corbyn has the integrity to refuse to stoop to the power of the aristocracy and the class system that it feeds on. JC is true to a modern set of values based on merit and not inheritance. Bravo.
Corbyn stands only for himself as well as for minorities and supporting terrorists and brutal dictatorships. He is a millionaire who was privately educated, lives in a property worth £925.000 and that makes him a hypocrite.
I want to vomit……you’re poorer and you’ve lost your freedom of movement because of Corbyns support for the Tories. Open your eyes , if Covid hasn’t closed them forever.
The provision can be interpreted two ways. Kinnock thinks it means Jeremy can't be the leader, but it could also be interpreted as a requirement of MPs to back the democratically elected leader.
The plain fact is that Corbyn is not a ‘challenger’ under any reasonable interpretation of the word. Thus, the drafters could not possibly have intended this rule to apply to him. Thus the only sustainable conclusion is that Corbyn, as the current leader, has an automatic right to run. This conclusion accords with common sense. The purpose of the rule is to stop time wasters with no hope of winning from standing. The current leader cannot objectively be considered a time waster.

no he doesn't lol. the leader should be accountable to the party, not the MPS. kinnock is only interested in making this point as he has a grudge against the left of the party ever since he betrayed them back in '83.
No left-winger has ever won a general election for the Labour Party and never will. Sir Keir Starmer has returned Labour to the centre ground and the party’s is now on course to win the next election.

Kinnock's point about party members was absolutely spot on!
Definitely!
Kinnock is right. Corbin is the modern day Michael Foot.
And what was and is Kinnock? A Labour leader who shit on the working class so no change there right?

But you cannot even spell Corbyn.
Corbyn was more like a modern day and a lacklustre Tony Benn.
@@stevenpaulgoulding What exactly is the point you are making?
JC's duty is to represent the people who elected him ,quitting will be dereliction of duty
Corbyn was elected by the left of the Labour Party.
"If you value your principles, compromise your principles."
'if you value your principles, don't pretend you follow them then turn around once party leader and stab the left wing in the back"
Very sorry to see this...
