@LizMcInnesMP Happy for him to stand alongside Eagle to secure Jeremy's position.

I have aspirations for fairer kinder politics. MPs are replaceable, true Socialist ideals are non negotiable.

So you're happy for Tories to carry on regardless with an ineffective opposition. Leaders, like MPs, are also replaceable.

I don't believe Jeremy is ineffective, he hasn't been given the opportunity, all efforts to usurp him haven't worked thus far

Please consider all the MPs like myself who tried to support him but eventually had to admit he cannot unite the Party. Thanks.

Please consider all of the grassroots members who do support him still, he was democratically elected and will be again.

That's what I'm afraid of, that the membership will re-elect a leader who quite clearly can't lead. Time for a fresh start.

So are you saying your members views don't matter? Should the PLP just overrule members? What's the point then?

wondering how you can say you trust ppl re votes,but then decide no need 2 respect democratic vote re JC&EUref?

also said I respect the people voted and we can always ask them again if they REALLY want brexit. ?????!!!!!

yes,so seems democracy is a choice majority ppl make,which can b changed by ppl in power,who don't like the result!

Yes - and that puts our proud democracy on a par with the Islamic Republic of Iran...

Owen. You declared on #Marr You will serve under Corbyn if Jeremy wins. Er..... He did win 2015

a "socialist" who is anti NHS, pro war, and failed to vote against tory austerity measures!

@OwenSmith_MP socialist my eye! How come the members in your CLP weren't notified and invited?#KeepCorbyn

He made sure via NEC meddlng the CLP couldn't even meet
