Jeremy Corbyn[FONT="] has seen off a legal challenge that tried to force him off the Labour leadership ballot, but the party is facing fresh criticism over its decision to announce the winner on the same day as its main annual event for women.[/FONT][FONT="]Corbyn’s place on the ballot was ruled to be secure, after Mr Justice Foskett said in the high court that it was “correct in law” for the incumbent leader to have the automatic right to be a candidate.[/FONT]
[FONT="]The case had been brought by Michael Foster, a former parliamentary candidate and party donor, whose counsel argued that Corbyn should be forced to sign up the required number of nominations in order to stand.[/FONT]
[FONT="]However, Foskett backed the decision of Labour’s ruling national executive committee (NEC) that the leader did not need the backing of 51 MPs or MEPs when facing a challenge.[/FONT]
[FONT="]The ruling means the contest proceeds as a straight fight between Corbyn, the favourite, and Owen Smith, who has the backing of much of the parliamentary party.

Happy news for Vlad Putin and the various middle east terrorist groups. Bad news for everybody else.

If he has so little backing that he is afraid he couldn't get 51 signatures, he is just what labor needs.

81% of his own MPs do not support him.
81% of his own MPs do not support him.
70% of his party members do and almost as many of the Constituency Labour Parties, who will no doubt be discussing their future with their wayward MP's in due course.

O yes, all those "normal " types that have seen that something in Jeremy!
Ummmm.... Explain?
What don't you understand about that. He's a professed admirer of Vlad the Oligarch and counts Hamas and Hezbollah as his 'friends'. Not sure that needs much explanation.
:lamo :lamo You cant be serious
So I take it from that that you too are an admirer of Putin and consider Hamas and Hezbollah as your friends? Being a Socialist I guess that shouldn't be much of a surprise.

~ The Parliamentary Labour Party should shut up.
Senior Labour rebels are so convinced that Jeremy Corbyn will win the leadership contest that they are planning to elect their own leader and launch a legal challenge for the party's name.
Leading moderates have told The Telegraph they are looking at plans to set up their own “alternative Labour” in a “semi-split” of the party if Mr Corbyn remains in post.

Happy news for Vlad Putin ~
Wonderful. The Labour party's condescension to their own base was sickening to watch.

On the contrary, it seems they may be planning an alternative group.
To be devil's advocate in this, Trump has also expressed admiration for Putin or his style / leadership as have Marine le Pen, Nigel Farage and many others around the world.
I see mass deselections of the PLP if they go rogue. Meanwhile May and the Tories wreak havoc unopposed.
To be fair i think Farage´s opinion has been as badly represented as Corbyn´s. Both simply criticized the role of Ukraine and by extention NATO and the EU in the conflict and the lack of justification of their side. This doesn´t mean they think that the other side is blameless or that Putin is a good guy.
Farage's admiration for Putin went a little beyond simply criticising the role of Ukraine and NATO..
