It will give Corbyn some confidence and ideas of how to play the media if a snap election is called next year.

unfortunately ukip will hoover up the 'dissaffected' vote, especially if the bad bootle meff wins the leadership

Corbyn should take heart from this. Basically people are getting told by a partisan media that he's unelectable, to the point where they believe it.

Surround yourself with shouty nutters (like Mcdonald and Abbott ) and ride a wave of (this time far left) anger?

You can bet Milne and his mates are beside themselves with last night.

Nope. It's one of the reasons she lost.

Multi millionaire feckless celebs patronising the working class for votes was never a good strategy

People like them and their work, though. If any endorsements did her more damage than she did to herself, it was the likes of Goldmans that did that.

It's a while since we had a good assassination!

That isn't how Trump won, though.

What he did (and what Corbyn did in both of his leadership election campaigns) is to point out that things are bad and he will make them right; he was boosted by HRC saying that everything is ok and that you can't risk change. When an effective majority of people agree that things are bad, its a winning strategy.

Maybe this year with Brexit and now Trump it may tell politicians that running a project fear campaign doesn't scare the plebs into voting the way they want as both those who ran campaigns like that lost having gone in as strong favourites ahead of the vote.

It is funny seeing the outcry on social media of those who backed the wrong horse, much the same as after the Brexit vote they are just claiming the voters are idiots and the world is doomed. The people have spoken, get over it and wait and see what happens.

Not when he has just come out and stated he's not happy with him winning?
Also opposites in Polictical ideology etc!

Yes. And imo the reason why clinton didn't do as well with the black, hispanic, native american & muslim communities is because despite her electoral promises and criticism of trumpas a racist, she didn't do enough for them when she was a senator, or part of the obama admin.

Too far.

Pence is even worse.

 

[Alan Whittle]

I was being sarcastic Ash. It was a reference to the almost unanimous media bubble that negatively covered Trump's every move and insulated people from the scary idea that he may actually become president

Ha ha at the media this morning;

 

[TheFinnFan]

Well he's a millionaire who's nailing Beyonce so I imagine he does.

Just like that lost his Street credibility and currently walking Eminems pug on food salary

Been saying much the same, and I agree with you. As I mentioned earlier, the slogan "make America great again" is so simple, so boorish and yet unbelievably adaptable.

I see food banks as a major product of this. Not only is it an indictment of governments that we have left our most vulnerable to do this, but we've allowed the middle classes to soothe their guilt about it by making donations. Rather than realising they're just breaking off a small piece of their own bread, this group (that erroneoysly identified most with Cameron / Milliband/ Blair) should have thought "actually, we've created and are reinforcing this situation". It's not about letting people starve, it's about letting people have access to the functions and frameworks that allow them to feed themselves.
