Sinister

Burnham had nowhere else to go. Ivan Lewis, his main competition, had already called for Corbyn to go. He couldn't run for the Mersyside mayorship because Luciana Berger so he went for the Greater Manchester gig. By all accounts he is getting hosed by Ivan Lewis. Seems the Mancs are not taking to their Scouse transplant.

172 MPs voted in the symbolic no-confidence vote on Corbyn: 51 goes into that three times (although the actual number if 50 due to one member being suspended and another murdered by fascist scum). I am sure there will be somebody by the end of the week.

I didn't say I supported the sentiment; I was just saying that this is the sentiment of some of the MPs. I do support the sentiment though. Fuck that guy, the anti-semitic chum-scrubber He's a mediocrity who hides his mediocrity in rigid ideology. Makes me ashamed to be a Gooner.
