Well yes, obviously they would.
Clearly yes.

Not sure how the main point has been missed. Are you confusing us with Max? 🤔
Are you trying to stir Maxy by any chance?
I think he is more shaken but not stirred.

Creamy both you and Dissy have missed the main point...Do you think anyone would trust Corbyn with sensitive intelligence on Terrorist activity..? Im not suggesting Boris or anyone else....
Well yes, obviously they would.
I wouldn't and I would be fairly sure Israel wouldn't either, given the perceived antisemetic position taken by his party.
I’m pretty sure Israel are fully aware of the true position of the party with regards to the anti Semitic ‘problem’.

They might take issue with the party’s position on Palestine, mind you.

I am sure they are philosophical on the matter, as well as following an old Israeli proverb:

A rolling stone gathers no mossad.

Mods may as well shut this thread down as the Labour Party becomes less and less relevant...They will have to serve as a minor player in some sort of lefty coalition with the LibDems to have any say in government. And thats IF the LibDems can out poll the Brexit Party at the next GE.

How will the Brexit party do that when they will split the right-wing, leave, vote with the Tories in every constituency where they stand? The arithmatic does not work, remember the huge poll figures that UKIP gained, it got them one MP and a Tory deserter at that.

The Brexit Party have no intention of splitting the right-wing vote when it matters. They are simply there to pressure Tory policy in the 'right' direction.

The Labour Party will regroup under a new leader at some point. Don’t know how long it will be but of course it will happen. If Corbyn fails at the next GE the party will seek a new leader, his age alone makes that inevitable.

We just need to bide our time. Just a temporary issue.

I also believe the Brexit Party is going after Labour, they see quite a lot of low hanging fruit there just right for the picking...

:lol: 'We' when talking about Labour.

Problem is, whoever comes in next is going to have to follow in Corbyn's shoes, us members won't have it any other way. This reverting back to Old Labour ain't temporary.

By old Labour, do you mean ‘new’ labour, as that is long enough ago now for us to feel nostalgic about it.

New is the new old.

Did 'Old Labour' ever win a general elaction? I seem to remember a minority government, but that was a long time ago.

It's a different ball game now, like CreamofSumYungGai said, the membership won't vote for anyone other than Corbyn or someone who carries forward the same policies and world view.

The right are spluttering their last gasp before fading into the irrelevance they always should have been.

So those who voted in Blair are no longer members of Labour. His policies were different to Corbyn.

Lots aren’t. You hear quite a few of them bleating on the tv and radio a fair bit.

The Tories are in such a mess that Mr Bean as Labour leader would have them higher in the polls, oh sorry they already tried that, its how Corbyn got elected in the first place.
