I think they want him out before he calls for Blair to be investigated for war crimes , following the publication of the enquiry next week. It won't be just Blair getting it a lot of his party colleagues will too. Self preservation.

Bang on the money. Even if they do get rid of him...the party is in tatters.
Tbf the yanks were all on the money with regards to Nixon's sweaty lip
The man was a grade a shyster!
As for Milliband, it was more the fact he was a bumbling idiot with next to no social skills which cost him.
Cameron deserves every bit of mud slung at him, as he's quick to do the same in and out of the HoP. Said he was gonna usher in a dawn of politics where name calling would be consigned to history.. then becomes the largest proponent of it

El Toro, im not really a follower of it all but he'll weather the storm imho. They need to come out against the 'peace envoy' and all his cronies and rebuild from there.
There is no other real alternative for them other than self preservation of some at the expense of the future of the party.
That's my guess anyways

The guy is the best thing to happen to British politics in years. Why should he leave though, he was democratically elected and simply because certain MP's have lost their faith it does not mean he should lose his own in his ability to lead the party.
The man genuinely cares for the ordinary Briton and if he does step down it will be a very sad day. Perhaps the British public have got so used to a Eton schoolboy and elitist as PM that they have forgotten what the likes of Corbyn stand for.

The problem with Corbyn is he is in touch with Labour, he stands in direct opposition to many of the MPs as they are part of the new centrist labour party the war criminal Blair turned them into.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
^^^ This, without a single doubt
Has politics changed
or
Have people
Would we have ever thought Labour strongholds would be won by a UKIP type party.
It seems people dictate
First we had the move to the centre pretty much by all
This move to the left by Labour seems to have backfired.
It may have the support of a significant proportion of the membership but not the electorate it would seem.
So where should Labour go left right centre
Following such an flawed coalition that was the time for Labour.
But even the very slight move left was hammered at the polls.
If we are to have a proper opposition with a chance of actually winning an election you need to be in tune with the voter
I would much prefer the old
Left
Middle
Right
Choice but as it stands only one view can win.
Its a shame though.

I am on record as saying that Corbyn is no leader, did badly in the referendum and will never be PM - however I feel he is right to stay in his role. Those MP's are behaving like a kangaroo court, completely impervious to the wishes of their constituents and the tens of thousands of Labour Party members who still support JC .
Also - there is no outstanding candidate atm to replace him. Angela Eagle? FFS - better with Eddie the Eagle
Correct about the members but the constituents I would be less sure of.
As for Angela...geeze she looks like she is about to cry all the time
Where is Davis Millaband these days ?
Duke - I posted the other day that David Milliband would have been a great Labour Party leader - however I think that ship has sailed sadly

Corbyn's not the one destroying the party - it's the egotistical, Blairite maniacs like Jim Murphy who destroyed the Scottish branch when it was already doing badly.....they're now doing their best to commit political suicide south of the border as well. Every time they lose an election, they say "We're going to listen to the people" but they never do. They listen to their own chattering echoes and hear what they want to hear.
