needs to have far more influence on policy and Shadow Cabinet appointments, whilst the PLP (Parliamentary Party, i.e. MPs) think quite the opposite.

Should be an interesting autumn in Parliament.

lots of those Tory seats used to be Labour seats. I suspect if the candidates support Corbyn they'll win elections and if they refuse then they'll maintain the status quo, i.e. a Tory government.

Blarite New Labour Brit press. If the 'far left' 'Corbynista's' Momentum, 'Trot's, are as doomed as the corporate, New Labour centrist Brit press says they are how come Labour has more then doubled it's membership after Milliband's defeat in 2015?

Miliband began his campaign by launching a "manifesto for business", stating that only by voting Labour would the UK's position within the European Union be secure......

Despite opinion polls leading up to the general election predicting a tight result, Labour decisively lost the 7 May general election to the Conservatives. Although gaining 22 seats, Labour lost all but one of its MPs in Scotland and ended up with a net loss of 26 seats, failing to win a number of key marginal seats that it had expected to win comfortably. After being returned as MP for Doncaster North, Miliband stated that it had been a "difficult and disappointing" night for Labour.

You may be right Labour will not win in the general but I think your underestimating how feed up people are with the neoliberal 1% economic disparity and privatization. The constant attacks on the left and Corbyn by the media makes me think the Blarites are worried. The times they are a changing globally. The 'inevitability'' of the 1% global neoliberal/neocons who 'rule the world' is breaking down. Austerity is wearing thin as is endless bloody war and corruption.

Here's a breakdown of the votes in 2nd round of the coup to oust Corbyn. Mind you this is from the Guardian which is very pro New Labour and even this article is full of dire predictions and declarations of Corbyn is not electable and fear mongering about the upcoming Tory victory and the demise of Labour forever and ever.Now where have I heard this bs. before hummm....."Stronger Together" or else ?????

Jeremy Corbyn’s election result has proved to be even bigger than a year ago, with the Labour leader commanding 313,209 votes – 61.8% of the electorate.

Overall, there were 654,006 people eligible to take part in the election as either full members, registered supporters who had paid £25, or affiliates largely through the trade unions. Of this total, 506,438 cast a vote. As Corbyn says, Labour is now the largest socialist movement in western Europe.

It is a movement that in 2016 has offered Corbyn its concerted backing across the board. He won 59% of the members’ votes (168,216), 70% of registered supporters (84,918) and 60% of affiliated supporters (60,075). That is not just a bigger victory for Corbyn than in 2015, it is a significant shift in the core membership.

Maybe Toryland will win but I somehow don't think so. From the comment section in an obnoxious article belittling the Corbyn anti -New Labour victory. This one has a very lively comment section to say the least. It's fun read.

As you can see I spent my morning reading the Establishment Brit press's predictable reactions to the defeat of the New Labour, Blairtite PLP 's failed coup.

Here's one more reaction from a Corbyn campaigner. It's a good read and anyone who thinks this movement here or anywhere is going now where should read it. Corbyn may lose but ordinary people globally are rejecting the inevitable neoliberal/neocon's global rule. New Labour and the New Democratic party may win this time around but they are going down. At least the Corbyn supporters and people who have joined Labour to stop the Torylite right wing Labour are not running around yelling protest votes are dangerous because ????? Get out of the doorways quit blocking the halls.' 'there is something deeper going on.'

As a member of Momentum, let me explain what all you Blairites have so far failed to understand
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/09/24/as-a-member-of-momentum-let-m...

To listen to some on Labour Right you’d think the party membership had lost their minds. This is ironic given the anti-Corbyn camp’s behaviour over the last year, and particularly the last three months. In any case, we’re far from mad; there is something deeper going on.

Owen Smith can talk Left, while Corbyn sounds all too moderate – but Smith “smells” like a man of the capitalist establishment, while Corbyn does not. Labour people are not stupid; we have a good sense of smell. And, at the end of the day, like it or not, antagonistic and clashing class interests do exist. As long as they do, labour movements will emerge and re-emerge, no matter how much they driven down (physically or ideologically).

The movement which swept Corbyn to office, and has just crushed the attempt to remove him, is fundamentally a class movement. It reflects the deep frustration of various sections of Britain’s working population with the bland, technocratic political consensus which has served the interests of employers and the rich so well for thirty years, and spectacularly enriched them during the decade of “austerity”.....................................

I don’t think I’m naive. Posing the question of socialism is a long way off. It will be a hard struggle even to transform Labour, oust the Tories and change society’s direction. But we need to begin the work now, not go on as we did before.

Let me finish with an appeal to the Labour “moderate” rank and file. You should be angry at your leaders. You should be angry at self-styled Labour loyalists who have done their best to wreck our party; at self-styled social democrats who have strained every muscle to defend unrestrained neo-liberalism and the interests of the rich. There is a place for you in a transformed Labour Party and labour movement, but not for the professional wreckers. Help us call them to account.
