I suspect she's even more unacceptable to the British electorate than Corbyn is.
To me yes.
I don't like Corbyn. But if I had to rank them in order of how much they annoy me its:
1) Abbott
2) McDonnell
3) Corbyn

What an idiot. You can smell the bullshoit from a mile off.
Just say "I don't know, precisely" or "whatever the exact number, things are not looking great for us". The way she slowly repeats the question whenever she doesn't have a clue is moronic.
Excellent results for fellow Evertonian, and seemingly all round nice guy, Andy Burnham.

Something like National Election winners always do badly in Local Elections.........
Well, what a horrific state of affairs we find ourselves in.
I ask of anyone reading this, look at the 2015 leadership debates. Nobody was willing to offer anything substantial, other than Corbyn.
We, as a party, cannot simply revert to the supposed "silver bullet" of the Third Way.
There needs to be a greater emphasis on communicating our policy (of which I firmly believe is excellent, despite our polling/performance) through a language that resonates with an electorate.
Regardless of how slim, we have a chance in June to take control of this country and create a society of which works for everyone - not just a elite few.

Given the very short timeframe, do you think the Labour party can turn things around and do well in the general election? Or are these results actually misleading in some way? Serious questions, not trying to agitate anyone.
Not agitating in the slightest, so don't worry.
The chances are tremendously slim, I'm under no illusions to the reality that we find ourselves in.
But I'm also aware of the fact that this might be the only chance in my lifetime to really change things for the majority of the people through radical reform, the same sort of reform that rebuilt this country after the second World War.
Personally think the general will be a lot bigger margin than 11 points. If a heavy defeat helps the Labour party rebuild and remember what likes of Atlee Callaghan etc stood for, then that's a good thing.
Corbyn would resign tonight if he had any respect for his party and the country.
Rebuild into what, may I ask?
