Labour's Corbyn Denies Resignations "Disaster" Ahead Of Reshuffle
Thu, 9th Feb 2017 11:10

LONDON (Alliance News) - Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is expected to make an announcement on Thursday on a reshuffle of Labour's shadow cabinet, after insisting that a string of resignations over Brexit were "not a disaster".

However, speculation was mounting that a number of more junior frontbenchers who rebelled over Article 50 may escape discipline, as the Labour leader indicated he was not planning a "wide" shake-up of his team.

Clive Lewis quit as shadow business secretary so he could oppose the European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill in defiance of Corbyn's three-line whip on Wednesday, bringing the total number of shadow cabinet resignations to four.

He was one of 52 Labour MPs - including 11 junior shadow ministers and three whips - to vote against the Bill, which gives Theresa May the authority to start EU withdrawal negotiations under Article 50 of the EU treaties. A further 13 did not vote.

Conservatives seized on Labour's turmoil to claim the Opposition was "hopelessly divided" over Brexit. But when asked about the rebellion in his party's ranks, Mr Corbyn told BBC Breakfast: "No, it's not a disaster."

The Labour leader also said rumours that he was preparing to quit the party's top job were "absolute nonsense"....

rochdale paedophile ring face deportation
are we seeing a much-needed toughening on the rules regarding citizenship withdrawal?

the following needs (re)checking, but if i heard correctly on the wireless a couple of hours ago, the 6 ringleaders, all british nationals but of pakistan origin, are to be stripped of their citizenship and deported

the appeal court rejected their claim to be able to stay in uk

The wireless? Have you changed the valves in it recently C? That case has been going for a while with the judge telling their lawyers off for deliberately delaying the case. The judge was deciding an appeal against the Home Office taking back the passports they were awarded by naturalisation. They lost. But they can appeal again, so on it goes. Why they are not simply deported back to Pakistan while their appeals are considered is too much for our soft legal system. Let them appeal on their time and coin.

Make you proud to be a con artist in a Banana Paradise.

Rochdale sex grooming gang citizenship appeal fails

Despite the ruling, the legal battle to deport the men could drag on for some time as there are further steps the Home Office must complete


above is within the last couple of hours

These cost's to the British Taxpayer are staggering , in a murder case two women found guilty of murder had cost £ 400,000 thousand pounds . They were guilty the minute they were arrested terrible case really .

that is penalty for having an open judiciary - ie innocent until proved guilty

move away from that, and you quickly descend to kangaroo or show trials with pre-set verdicts

Even if they lose their appeal, they just go scurrying to the european court
of human rights claiming their deportation deprives them of a family life..

Don't expect these individuals to be deported in a month of Sundays...

yes you are off filter again, at least for now :-)

you may be right, but at least it shows a willingness by the british judiciary to take a much tougher line than in the past

Does "off filter" mean you can dodge answering any challenge when you want to?

9-)

Just wondering?

??? ..... on filter meant i could avoid his nonsense

re - filter

for "cynic" on and off, is his passing time, just like the wireless, I should know by now

I must be racist as I laughed when I saw it on TV :-)

The Guardian

It was intended as a lighthearted joke, but a promotional video for the Six Nations coverage has left the BBC red-faced and accused of racism.

The 30-second advert for this weekend's Wales v England rugby game asked "What's Good About England" and showed Welsh fans struggling to come up with an answer.

But BBC Wales' attempt at 'banter' backfired spectacularly when furious viewers described it as "racist" and "pathetic" in a series of complaints.

The trailer was made to promote the broadcaster's coverage of the Six Nations game in Cardiff on Saturday when Wales play the current Grand Slam holders.

It can still be seen on Daily Mail and Mirror websites.
