welshbairn Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 (edited) Made me wonder why he's making Douglas Hurd the leader of the Labour Party rather than any obvious antisemitism. Miliband just has the Mr Bean about him, there's no getting away from it. If he'd been trying to eat a chicken burger or a gefilte fish bagel the reaction would have been the same.

NotThePars Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 (edited) That's the Labour front bench just received a ringing endorsement from *checks notes* George Osborne, the architect of austerity. Well done, lads. Edited April 9, 2020 by NotThePars 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Angelo Barksdale Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 From sky news, this is a funny way to spell 'co-ordinated resignation live on TV to undermine the leader' 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Every public Scottish Labour figure keeps telling me how much of a nice guy Ian Murray is which is funny given everyone I know personally active in his CLP says he presides over a bullying culture from the right of the party. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done, lads. The same George Osbourne who seemed more than happy to serve alongside William Hague who delivered a far worse electoral result than Ed Miliband ever did. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Dan Carden and Wes Streeting in the same Shadow Treasury team is quite funny. Like, I don't have a clue what direction that's going in, but it will be chaotic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully give her less media coverage than she gets at present. She has a relatively minor position, and I think she'll do less damage there than she would outside the Shadow Cabinet, potentially, making trouble for the Leadership. She's also got plenty of experience in dealing with abusive scumbags online so has some expertise in the new role. It seems a sensible enough move by Starmer, to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BerwickMad Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 The real opposition has already started. Two hugely impressive interviews from Keir and Lisa this morning on Sky and the BBC. Well I’m saying that, maybe it’s just a change to hear from people who are competent.I watched ‘Labour: The Wilderness Years’ on Friday and it was eye opening to hear Lansman, Corbyn and others spouting the same shite in the early 80s as they do now. A parrot could do it. Which is why Corbyns opposition was so weak. When you spout the same shit over and over, people stop listening and the government are happy to ignore. I think we’ll see proper opposition now, reacting to the world now and what is actually happening while offering proper criticism and solutions. It’s a good start. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedford White Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 (edited) Yup. As someone who has campaigned at every GE since 92 I find it disgusting that McNicol as General Secretary was working against the Corbyn leadership and would have preferred a Tory government. Oldknow should be forced to resign from her senior position at Unison. Here's further evidence of Labour's senior management team shitting themselves as Labour close in the polls in 2017. Less than a week before polling day, Survation cut the Conservative lead to just one point, while another pollster, ORB, had the Tories nine points ahead. Naturally Labour’s senior team viewed the worst poll as good news. 03/06/2017, 20:50 – Patrick Heneghan: Westminstervoting intention: CON: 40% (-6) LAB: 39% (+5) LDEM: 8% (-) UKIP: 5% (+2) (via @Survation / 03 Jun) 03/06/2017, 20:50 – NeilFleming: 03/06/2017, 20:54 – Neil Fleming: Wtf is going on. Polling industry may as well fold up. 03/06/2017, 20:54 – TraceyAllen: It is doing my head in. 03/06/2017, 21:02 – Julie Lawrence: 03/06/2017, 21:04 – Tracey Allen: Long 5 days to go 03/06/2017, 21:12 – PatrickHeneghan: Westminster voting intention: CON: 45% (+1) LAB: 36%(-2) LDEM: 8% (+1) UKIP: 4% (-1) (via ORB / 31 May – 01 Jun) 03/06/2017, 21:13 – Neil Fleming: Good old ORB Edited April 15, 2020 by Bedford White 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 My low-key favourite response to these leaks has been from James Ball who's been crying about data protection breaches from loads of his pals getting named and shamed for being snivelling little c***s. James Ball made his name at Wikileaks btw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampden Diehard Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Just tuning into FM's questions. Leonard asks a question, has it answered, and then asks essentially the same question again. Probably just reading from a list. The guy just comes over as someone out of his depth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
