Labour leadership: Corbyn and Smith clash over party unity - BBC News

[@davytornado859]

Can't stand that Owen Smith, he's got lying eyes and a thin mouth, always a sign of an insincere person. He's another Tony Blair wants to get into No 10 just for the money. At least Corbyn is open and up front with his views.

Really think this package would fit well on Sky News. Shameless misrepresentation of the nights events.

Yes, truly awful, biased reporting, right from the start. Made me wonder when they were going to drag out the old antisemitism card and, true to form, they did not disappoint: "Allegations of antisemitism have dogged the party in recent times...." Ugh.

+Cabronosidad i really dont understand this the previous leader was a jewish man so how is the party antisemetic? this is just a plot to oust him. plus with his pro palestinian record he is a main target. i really find this silly pro palestine/israeli thing. this is the UK not gaza or telaviv. UK should look out for their own interests. Despite his stance on the middle east politics. corbyn is a very patriotic person and he is fit to rule 100%.

[@Hurrehurra]

hamas or israel it doesnt matter its all the same to me. Thats an internal issue for you both to solve. In terms of corbyn well, if there are labour friends of israel then whats wrong with a labour friends of palestine? Nobody is blaming jews in fact jews have contributed a lot of things in the society of UK which corbyn acknowledges but obviously he is concerned with human rights abuses done by both sides.

[@Hurrehurra]

Werent jews refugees one time? Uk provided a safe haven for your people? Its a bit harsh for you to say this. He wants to abolish nuclear weapons not the armed forces.

At a time when Labour could of taken advantage of leaving the EU, they are trying stay as a united party. Labour are by far the most out of touch political party in the UK, next to the greens and Lib Dems.

The revolt by labour MPs initially believing that leader Corbyn would be quickoy overwhelmed by the revolting large number of Labour Party MPs .'instead of Corbyn being convinced by the MPs who were not given the jsole say in labours leadrship , the Labour Party MPs failings from vastly over estimated there importance inthe Labour Party , the separate roles in leadership selection, changes and or constests that must be fully inclusive of each party sections .'

Jeremy Corbyn is perfect for the opposition party, putting forward UK social issues & rightly, not supporting wars. Theresa May will be ok with him & I expect he will be that opposition leader for many years. Owen Smith is full of bull e.g. wanting ridiculous wage councils for the few rather than logical higher minimum wage for All people & I expect he will remain full of bull for the remainder of his career

[@stevenpaulgoulding]

Owen Smith was no John Smith, Corbyn is Hasbyn (has been).

[@leeturner7292]

What a biased audience

[@GiantSandles]

It's probably biased because the vast majority of members supported him and they were the ones voting

[@arthurthompson8241]

In total, the MoD says that maintaining and sustained the UK's nuclear deterrent supports well over 30,000 jobs.

[@Lennon6412]

What an absolute waste of 30,000 peoples time.

[@LCCfootballTV]

Let me think of a joke... Labour!
