Re: Tom Watson

Those who can't stand the heat are leaving, in this case expected because of connection to recent court case.

Re: Tom Watson

Probably jumped before he was pushed - he, being an ardent Remainer went against his constituent's wishes who voted 66% in leaving the EU.

No doubt his place will be filled with someone favoured by Momentum.

A constituency ripe for a Brexit Party candidate.

Re: Tom Watson

Trouble has been bubbling under the surface of the Labour party deselecting moderates and trying to get rid of Watson at the party conference. They were unable to do that but change the ruling so that is Corbyn steps down the deputy Watson can't take over.

The moderates in Labour have lost their leader in Watson, not sure where they will go from here admit defeat and bow down to Momentum I guess.

Strange timing by Watson he is diverting the media from the Tory blunders...

Hi

Very well put Meg.

There doesn't seem to be any middle ground in any Party now.

Re: Tom Watson

There is one thing you can say about Jeremy Corbyn and that is he does not know when he is beaten, and beaten he certainly is.

Re: Tom Watson

Watson has started what could be the end of moderate Labour MPs and the 1970s style 'reds' taking full charge something the younger generation won't remember ...

General Election 2019: Voters should back Johnson - ex Labour MP

Should Labour win the election, after 5 years of wrecking the economy they will then be out of power for years to come..

Re: Tom Watson

Not sorry about Tom Watson. He in his time put many people through hell, due to his obsession with trying to find connections to paedophilia.

If so many Labour MP's have left or switched sides due to Jeremy Corbyn, why don't they oust him out as leader ? ... maybe there are powers within that hold control and not very democratic ones at that.
They are on the brink of a dictatorship IMO., and most of Labour MP's will have their positions ditched , if elected. Apart from Diane, of course.
