I'm definitely picking up a hint of Deckham in his accent. I know a lad who reckons he was the last one to live in and leave the Dunston rocket. Obviously he didn't realise wor Seb in the flat above him was still smoking a tab, having a can and watching the TV as he left the building thinking he was the very last one standing.

Ayatollah Hermione 12733 Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Corbyn will drop a bit when the Tories leak that he prefers Frisps to Monster Munch and the country will go mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 4949 Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Looks to me like all the main Remain parties are finally talking about tactical voting. 4 days is leaving it fucking late but LDs have stopped campaigning in some seats, hopefully Labour will do the same in others. I assume we are going to consider a hung parliament a victory at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 17575 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 I'd rather have a hung parliament than an outright labour victory tbh. Like Blair, I don't think Labour at present can form a credible government. Corbyn needs to go. Doesn't look likely though at the moment. Main hope is that the Tories have flat lined and labour will keep squeezing the smaller remain parties, get the young out, get moat the undecided, and that ultimately northern brexiter types won't stomach voting for them. All this is possible I guess. I'll probably watch til 2am on Thursday, get a bit pissed, and feel awful at work on Friday, especially if the tories get a large majority.

Alex 30224 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Electoral Calculus have a 20 seat Tory Majority. It was predicted to be 90 a week or so ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 13932 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 It'd be the first time since '92 that I haven't stayed up (and that was only because I was on a school trip), but If the exit poll is well outside the margin of error - a 30+ Tory majority, say - then I'll most likely switch off. There's no benefit to putting yourself through it really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portillo losing his is still a personal political hhighlight for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 26140 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 That was a soapy tit wank of an interview from Marr with Brandon Lewis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 17575 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Being reported on Marr that Long Bailey will be Corbyn's replacement in the event of an electoral loss. She reminds me of a semi finalist from the Apprentice. I think at this stage, the Labour party is finished and we are into unknown territory. Thoughts?

Rayvin 4949 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Raynor possibly. I have a lot of respect for her achievements. Single mum, strong working class roots, fought from the bottom for where she had to get to. Will truly understand the challenges working class people face. Alternatively someone who has been low profile, younger and with a bit more fire. Before Corbyn came along, as a centrist option, I was going to support Yvette Cooper. She still has my respect also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26140 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 The key thing any future Labour leader needs is charisma. Corbyn doesn’t have any whatsoever outside of his narrow support base. The public simply don’t like him as has been shown time and time again. RLB has the same issue. Angela Rayner isn’t too bad in that department but not ideal. Though it’s hard to think of anyone in the party who really fits the bill and can win enough support from the membership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34157 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Long-Bailey guarantees another lost election, I reckon. There is no way the electorate will view her as a potential PM. Unless she massively grows into the role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13804 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Really interested to see what the slur angle would be post-Corbyn. Milliband got called a Marxist Jew who hated Britain etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
