Corbyn to lose seat after boundary review?

You couldn't make it up, poor old Jezza just can't catch a break.

If you are wondering why he is so exercised about the boundary changes, arguing that city centre constituencies should be smaller than rural ones, wonder no longer.

His own constituency is to be carved up and he is going to have to fight it out for a new seat called Finsbury Park and South Newington.

Assuming he wins that re selection battle (which will be itself a total circus such is the modern Labour Party) his new seat is to include the ward of Stamford Hill West.

Home to one of the largest Orthodox Jewish communities in the whole country. I am guessing that his pro Hamas and Hizbollah views are unlikely to go down too well with those guys... :biggrin:

Hmmm.....still a Labour area, and he will win.

Possibly learn Britihs political culture and voting patterns...

Like how Mr. Brexit Secretary is *****ing his pants about losing his Yorkshire seat.....lol.

They have no chance at the next election, none at all.

We are talking about Tory Government for the next ten years at least. Probably longer.

Labour were out of office for eighteen years during the Thatcher period, and the Liberals for all but two years out of twenty at the turn of the century. But we could be going for a new record.

In all three cases we had a totally divided party, fighting against itself, to the death. The Liberals over Home Rule, the Labour/SDP split, and now the Corbynistas.

Most people on here will likely be in their thirties before we get another Labour Government. In whatever form (and under whatever name), it will more resemble the party under Blair than Corbyn, that is for sure.

And we are leaving the EU!

Great times to be on the right of politics. Fantastic to watch Labour in such deep $hit under Jezza. :smile:.

No-one important in the Tory Party will lose their seat. No hopers will be forced to make way, that is how it works.

I expect Corbyn to hold some seat or other at the GE too, despite my joshing with you in the OP.

At least I hope he will. All of us who wish Labour nothing but pain hope that this living nightmare of the Corbyn leadership never ends.

It will of course, eventually, all good things come to an end but the last thing we want is for him to lose the re selection battle or his seat.

BoJo won't lose his seat. Osborne might, his ridiculous scare campaign over Brexit didn't do him any favours, it may even have finished him politically for good.

But political history is full of Lazarus like episodes, so you never know.
Boundary changes happen all the time. It's not a conspiracy so grow up.

What a surprise the Jews are up to no good.

You finally get a half decent leader and they want another Tony Blair.


Jews are the biggest threat of Western Democracy. Jewish money buys politics, just a quick search will reveal all..


You are right.

Very devious and conspiratorial of them to all live together in an area redrawn by the Boundary Commissioners. The swine.

I bet the guy who drew his pen over that area of the map in Jezza's putative new constituency was a Jew too!

RIP leftist politics everywhere. Socialism and collectivism is over. They're dying if not already dead.

Yes I do.

And if you really disagree, let's have a private bet on the outcome of the next GE.

Any amount (I am serious, any amount you can afford) at evens. PM me if you want to take up the offer.

Easy money if you really believe it, right?

You can promote your confidence all you like, but none of us, not a single person in the UK knows what position the Tories and Labour will be in come 2020. Would anyone have thought that Theresa May would be PM back in July last year?

The maybe Corbyn should go for Cameron's old seat in Witney. Its up for grabs. I'm sure the people of Witney might enjoy the tradition of having a future prime minister as their local MP again.

Anyone with any sense knows that if Labour goes into the next GE with Corbyn as leader, they will be utterly wiped out. Absolutely everything points to that.

And wiped out to the extent that Labour might cease to exist as a political party.

why? some early polls? if labour gets behind Corbyn fully after the election, the combined mass of supporters and MPs won't be wiped out so easily

it'd be destroyed even more if Owen Smith won tbh

Why not? Labour is enjoying increased support in former Tory areas such as the south. People want change, they want affordable housing, better public services. These areas being Tory probably have far less public services than labour areas. Tory councils like to cut services and charge more for less.
People in places like Witney want change, they want affordable housing, better council services, libraries, free parking etc and enjoy what labour councils provide people with.

Secondly people in Witney are more likely to consider university, so they are more likely to want free tuition. That means they are more likely to support labour or the SNP.
