LONDON - Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said on Friday he would stand down as his party faced its worst electoral defeat in 84 years, but he did not set a date for his departure and added he would remain in charge during a period of reflection.
That leaves Labour, a 100-year-old party born out of the trade union movement, wrestling with what went wrong and what to do about it. Asked whether she thought she would retain her seat in the northern city of Stoke-on-Trent, a Labour bastion, the party’s candidate Ruth Smeeth bluntly replied: “I’ve definitely lost.”“He should have gone many, many, many months ago.”
Corbyn, an avowed socialist who took control of the party after a bruising 2015 election defeat, has shifted Labour sharply away from the centre ground that underpinned three Labour majority governments led by Tony Blair. “Corbyn was a disaster on the doorstep ... everyone knew he couldn’t lead the working class out of a paper bag,” said Alan Johnson, who served as a senior minister under Blair.Underlining the likely looming battle for the future of the party, Corbyn-loyalist Richard Burgon said the party should not turn back toward the centre-ground.“People on the doorstep weren’t complaining about our policies, and we wouldn’t have had the policies ...
Yayy!!
Well that's what usually happens when you have a lame horse in the race clearly Illuminati are still using the same Ol' Modus operandi. VivaRevolution KILLUMINATI
CharlesMBlow Well done Jeremy!
:)
Loser
A huge victory against socialism!
This is great news! I am proud that the UK is finally waking up. BrexitBritain Brexit no more socialism.
He got what he deserves. A good communist is 6 feet under and he’s heading this way.
A tight slap on the face of Corbyn... Wonderful.
Leave and deep bury yourself please .. ... .
First of all, he should resign from the Labour Leadership
'It wasn't my fault, It was all due to Brexit' . Oh yeah, such ego.. Who was the real clown. BoJo or Corbyn?
No More socialism Is enough with the destruction that has caused in cuba and Venezuela EU stay away from socialism!!!
haversham_miss Just like he hasn't lead them for the past 9.
He has to blame Maduro or maybe Chavez (but he's dead and he'll never come back) for the defeat 🤣🤣🤣, socialism like in Venezuela, nobody in the world wanted!
Le Monde Diplomatique en deuil. 😥 Hitler avait déshonoré l'antisémitisme, mais Corbyn a su le réenchanter.
Good riddance. Labour needs to rebuild without him
Now that the traitor has ensured the Brexit he always wanted, his departure can’t come soon enough - and even then it will be years too late.
Thank you and congratulation , lost doesn't means you have failed. Some still do respect your courage, stand and view👍👍👍
Election results 2019: Jeremy Corbyn holds his Islington seat - BBC News via YouTube
It's funny how media and lefties were all laughing about not getting the Brexit done and implying that no one in the UK actually care about the Brexit and now Labour partt failed like never before.
Claims Brexit created division among voters... Conservative party has most definitive election since Margaret Thatcher in 1984... seems to me like Brexit united many voters against the labor party’s attempt at stifling it Brexit BritishElection hottake
The guy behind him is hilarious! 😂😂😂
shame .. i enjoyed his leadership .. esp as I'm cons ..
Better late than never ! Labour will now become stronger
Yeah. Itis... The worst defeat ever.
Mr. Corbyn seems to have done a pretty good job of destroying Labour. Between not standing firmly one way or the other on Brexit, and there being a semi-legitimate whiff of antisemitism in both Leader and Party, he has pretty much set Labour back 50 years.
To step down isn't necessary. Mohring in Saxony lost 11,8 %. And he still has a big mouth, didn't take any consequences from his historical defeat ...
Raila Odinga, this is a honourable thing.
It's great to see all over theworld Nationalist/ Conservative Block winning elections UKElections🌹 bcz people had enough with MSM favourite Liberal activists & politically correct Snowflakes❄️
Unbelievable, totally shameless ...he won't take any blame for his crap leadership,good riddance to him and McDonnell and their socialist and anti British bullshit...it's not the media,it's not Brexit it's you,you can't fool the electorate,they've seen through you.
Moonbat politics are history in Britain, and will be in the US next year!
CharlesMBlow DavidLammy for Labour Leader?
Prick should have stood down to give labour half a chance
This will happen in US president election too.
My heart goes out to the ppl of UK. Welcome to Trump. You fools.
He will blame himself !
It was about Brexit....Boris a happy winner
CharlesMBlow Did you vote on paper ballots? Just sayin...
Fantastic 🥂
کوئی سراج لالا کو دکھاو کہ یہ ہوتی ہے جمہوریت- انگلینڈ کی لیبر پارٹی کے لیڈر نےالیکشن میں کھلے دل سے شکست مان لی اور پارٹی قیادت بھی چھوڑ دی- آپ کتنے الیکشن ہارنے کے بعد “جمہوری” رویہ اپنائیں گے؟؟؟ SirajOfficial ShamsAmjadJI
When reached for comment, Cornyn said that he is unsure what the future holds but is considering taking on a role as BDS faculty adviser at Columbia University. BDS Antisemitism antisemite
I have to question if jeremycorbyn truly believed in his heart that all he was fighting for was the right thing to do for this country, why then stand down as leader as soon as this? lbc might have a suggestion
SLOTE3 He brought it upon himself, all by himself.
CharlesMBlow This really has me worried about Biden. If you don't give people a clear difference in choices, they won't really care which one gets elected and won't even show up to vote. And Biden shares more with Trump than a lot of these folks want to admit.
Too little, way too fucking late
The Labour Party can never invite enough illiterate Third World hordes, jihadis, voodoo practitioners, steel drum enthusiasts, and bong salesmen to round out its 'diversity' initiatives. United together we can do something that requires a slogan, or a mascot, or maybe...uh..yeah.
He should have resigned two years ago
Maybe u needed to do what the voters said the first time!!!!! What a 😂🙄 watching from far away
Yeah but the bugger hasn't resigned yet, has he?
Damned shame. NOT
If he was coherent and against Brexit I would think he would be PM right now.
He has more people there than an democratic presidential candidate has at their campaign rallies
🤣🤣🤣
What happened? My party SNP!
Lol you don’t say
Corporate media hates socialists
I see a globalist tear running down Reuter's cheek.
👍👍👍
A resounding victory against socialism!
Proof Propaganda Media war works.
So much for Remain. Onward towards liberty.
Let's just hope they don't use The same excuse the dems used 2016 and say Putin had something to do with this. 😂😂 GE2019
We aren’t and never Will be a communist, terrorist loving country. That’s why they were obliterated.
Corbyn was never a viable choice, been saying it for how many years. His ego came before brexit, & giving voters an alternative resign
Democrats in America face the same fate, when those that lose elections try to subvert the will of the people, a crushing defeat will be their reward. Politicians work for the people, when this is forgotten those politicians have to go
Its fine Labour, y'all can just sit back and watch the dumpster fire a bunch of idiots voted for, its ok.
Anti-Semite loser
hahahahahahahahahaha
UKElection BorisJohnson
Defender of Pakistan😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂lol
UK Election!! 🇬🇧
