It can be a rallying slogan. We're shite but we're not as bad as England.

How Corbyn is not making Hay against the most incompetent PM in forever is embarrassing

[Chapelhall chap]

During PMQ yesterday in challenging his attack on private providers in the current English NHS, she claimed that he should not moan because he was a member of the last Labour Government which had overseen the fastest rise in private provision.  He did not seem to notice that he had been promoted retrospectively, and she did not seem to notice how often he had opposed the Blair "reforms". I think she meant to say he was on the Labour back benches then, but as usual she misspoke. I now find PMQs a waste of time as it largely consists of planted praise and unanswered questions, but it keeps Andrew Neil and Laura in work.

Or “We’re not on charge of our finances so there’s a limit to what we can do”.

The majority of PMQ’s now is two completely incompetent leaders with shite patter completely failing to land any meaningful blows on each other. I mean the whole thing is ‘almost’ pointless anyway but with these two clowns its not even entertaining anymore. British (English) politics really is in some state.

How far back are you going when claiming PMQs wasn't like this? Gladstone and Disraeli?

It's not Corbyn's fault that most of the electorate are thick twats.

[Crùbag]

Toby Young and Conservative ethics...

He's shite. Totally unable to land a blow on the most useless PM in modern history.

Agreed. Corbyn is a half decent, single issue at a time campaigner - except on the single issue of Brexit where he's fucking useless because he's got to try and show how it could be different but in fact is probably not that personally distant from the line May is taking. 

Beyond non Brexit single issue stuff,  he's fucking hopeless.

“Hasn’t landed a blow” equates to removing someone’s majority?

 

Sturgeon’s SNP directly lost a dozen seats to the most incompetent PM ever.

He lost the election.

[NotThePars]

The election was held on a Thursday.

Only Blair has got more votes than him in recent history, among Labour leaders. He, undoubtedly, did far better than expected. Unfortunately, Britain, or at least England, seems to be a naturally Tory country. Given the state of the press, it's very difficult to change.

Look at the recent coverage of the NHS, for instance. Can you imagine the stick a Labour Government would be getting for the current state of it? Under the Tories, the media have been shifting the blame to the public... how dare they get sick, selfish b*****ds?

Big fan of the years of campaigns telling men to stop bottling their issues up and go and talk to a GP being reversed in favour of telling folk to leave it until an arm is hanging off or something.

The state of the press is, of course, a massive obstacle, and unfortunately a big enough one to make a difference. Because far too many people are either too stupid to know any different from what the majority of the MSM tell them, or they simply don't want to know anything else. The power of the MSM seems to get underrated by far too many people and I really don't see why it's so hard to understand.

Despite all of that, Corbyn is helping the Tories drive us off a cliff, so frankly, he can get fucked.

Corbyn is a complete fucking incompetent which is very disappointing.  

Other than on two very major issues, EU membership and Scottish Independence, I agree with him on just about everything.

He’s the first socialist that has led the Labour Party in decades.  He also put the right wing c***s masquerading as progressives in the PLP firmly in their place which was a joy to watch.

However he has severe competency issues that he should have addressed by now.

In the USA the Democrats have a lot to answer for with the Trump election, the Labour Party risk the same disdain if they can’t dislodge this austerity obsessed mob led by a wannabe Thatcherite.
