Fuck me  This is the real world not love actually.

She's been very clear

[Anorthernsoul 1221]

Big turnout for JC this evening.

 

[Dr Gloom 19717]

Preaching to the converted though. He should be at the key marginal seats, no?

[Rayvin 4948]

Don't underestimate the impact 'looking popular' can have. Especially when compared to May.

Pic above doesn't do it justice

In stark contract the turnout for Theresa May in Yorkshire was abysmal, a few suits

corbyn's bananas past statements on foreign policy are the gift that keeps on giving for his opponents. Look at this from 2014 on why we shouldn't make "value judgements" about brits who fought overseas with Isis returning to the UK

Its all pretty stupid anyway, Pandora's box is open and an extra 100,000 coppers isn't going to stop these sort of individuals doing this sort of thing.

 

 

How do you figure?

Urgh. What an absolute dick.

See Diane's been rolled out tonight for more car crash interviews.

[Dr Gloom 19717]

I actually feel a bit for Corbyn there. She should clearly be nowhere near the shadow cabinet but there was no fucker left after most of the plp turned their back on him.  I thought she'd been banned from media appearances before the election.

You're thinking of Phillip Hammond

Wonder if Diane Abbot, if she somehow, in some bizzare parallel universe obviously, became Home  Secretary on Friday morning, would she do anything as monumentally fuckin stupid as send known radicalised Uk Moslems off to fight with jihadis in North Africa? ..and then cut police numbers and funding so that they and others (some of whom were publicaly self confessed jihadis and went on tv to advertise it) couldn't possibly be properly monitored and then went on to murder innocent members of the public?  I'll grant you that's what the media perception of Abbott would have us beleive she'd be capable of, but with all this now in the public realm (obviously not being reported properly by the compliant media) having a go at her and Corbyn for their beliefs just smacks of being petty and snide, and completely misses the point about how unbeleiveably and possibly criminally incompetent May has been as  both Home Secretary and PM. 

 

The choices on Thursday are admittedly abysmally poor and are being brought into stark detail during this horrific wave of attacks the country is experiencing.but there's nothing to suggest that given the chance Jezza and Di won't finally grow up, leave the 6th form common room and make a decent go of it. Corbyn's demeanour and stature have grown hugely and visibly in the the last month. He's beginning to grasp right from wrong. Knocking him for old pronouncements is the stuff of the daily mail. After the learning curve of the last four weeks where he's stood tall and got almost everything spot on on every issue that even most of the preveiously hostile media have had to say "well, he's got a point there", all the while that spineless bitch has basically hidden away behind sound bites and underlings who are every bit as poor as anything on the Labour front bench.  

 

May called this election basically as another Brexit referendum. Even before Manchester and the events at the weekend that was out the window due to the Tory manifesto, seemingly jotted down on to the back of 20 Regal. If she's returned the EU council will publicaly slap her so hard in the face during negotiations she'll have to go running into the arms of the Donald, who will want the NHS on a plate for his US private healthcare chums  in return for other favourable trade deals, which he'll likely go back on as he, like the EU, hold all the aces. Id rather take my chances with Red Jezz and Mad Di and have a softer business friendly Brexit negotiated by ex attorney general Kier Starmer QC than see the most incompetent senior politician in my lifetime drive us off the end of a cliff. 

 

I still iexpect the Tories to win like, just had to get all that off my chest

Hey @Christmas Tree  you still haven't explained how 100,000 extra police officers wouldn't have helped stop the recent attacks?

[Anorthernsoul 1221]

Surely there must be someone to replace Abbott? She's an absolutely fucking joke and she's ruining all of JC's recent hard work. He should have peddled her months ago.

Well said, mate

People always accept the tory "Labour are incompetent" line - "compared to fucking what" should be the stock response.

IMO it's all going to come down to Momentum. If they can get the Youth vote out, we stand a chance. If they can't, and this is another election the same as all the previous ones, then at least young people only have themselves to blame.

[NJS 3954]

I don't want to start a post mortem now but I wonder if they could have learnt a lesson from Clinton - I think she lost by not concentrating all her efforts in the swing states.

 

I'm  not sure how UK campaigns are planned but I'm sure they could stick to the 120 key seats and go all out there. 

[Meenzer 13924]

I know it's satire but this is a neat encapsulation of why I worry the polls are miles off - if there's a Shy Tory factor in normal election polling, how bad is it going to be in an election where the Tories are uniquely reviled by non-Tories?
