She is/was.
Here's the thing - you know when you watch these debates/interviews and you hear the audience clapping Labour and laughing at the Tories?
Well, the truth is the Tory/May supporters are applauding on the inside. Many more of them.
The term "Shy Tory" exists for a reason. The term "echo chamber" exists for a reason too - too many Corbyn supporters are firmly in one I fear.

Not for at least a year I don't think. They'll want to appear united and supportful for an elected PM for a while at least, imo is if she isn't doing what they consider to be a good enough job in the brexit negotiations they'll have a leadership challenge.

100% this, people need to wake up and realise that loads of Tories are out there and just because you don't see a sign in the window saying vote Conservative doesn't mean people won't vote that way. The problem we really have is people would rather attack somebody the consider to be politically wrong rather then debate with them and try to win them over. People would rather stay with their own politically rather then mix with others they might disagree with and actually learn from each other.
Ha ha ha. Populist. Riiiighhhttt.
Corbyn is cut from the same cloth as Bernie Sanders, who is just as much a populist as Trump is, but whereas Trump blames all ills on foreigners, populists on the left tend to blame all ills on the rich and big business.
I don't think May is really. Brexit was won based upon a version of right-wing populism, but I'm not sure May really believed in that. Now she's just coming across as a rank poor politician.

The talented and experienced Brexit negotiation team in the next Labour government. Keir Starmer LLB, BCL, QC, former (highly respected) Director of Public Prosecutions, Emily Thornberry, barrister who was mentored by Michael Mansfield QC, Barry Gardiner, MA St. Andrews, Scholarship to Harvard, research at Cambridge, 10 years in shipping insurance and arbitration firm (senior partner) and of course Jeremy Corbyn himself. This is a very talented team compared with Boris Johnson, Liam Fox and David Davies, led by the now exposed Theresa May.

Absolutely shocking. Trying to stage-manage our election.
Anyone else reckon the government leveraged more control over the beeb during the last funding review?
Banana republic stuff.

Defo this ^^^.
Tory HQ tell the Director General what way they want the format for debate / subject matter to run with on any given day, and they get a nod and wink about not getting so much cuts next funding round. That's my idea of how this works in an election.
Not that they need much encouragement: the BBC is the biggest strike breaking, imperialist cheerleading, Atlanticist sycophant institution in the western world.
That's the Tory state controlled BBC for you, always 'impartial'. They even tolerated Laura 'I hate Corbyn' Kuennsberg fake news, story with a mild rebuke. She should have been sacked.
Hopefully, the lad can write a song about his experience at them attempting to control what he says.

TMS is pretty good mind.
As I said before, I have no real affection for the Lib Dems, especially as Farron is more an SDP than a liberal, but yes, it does sadden me that the liberalism that has served the world for so long will seemingly have little place in the next government. I think we will be significantly worse for that.
