Swinson: a pushy little careerist no mark.

 

[Tubey]

He's going to be the worst PM to gain a majority in an election, solely because his opposition are a collective waste of space.

Depressing...

How much would you pay just to punch him right in the face?

 

[Jebus_lives]

No, he has consistently refused to answer which way he'd campaign in a second referendum. All he had to do is say what he did tonight - "I will be neutral".

He's never publicly said it, so it created completely unnecessary dithering and confusion. Again. It's a trademark of Corbyn.

Because he has consistently said 'i won't campaign one way or the other'

Perhaps the problem is a failure to land the message rather than a clear position, because it's been fairly evident from September that he was intending to stay neutral. Hence the mud slinging on both sides and cries of opportunism.

Labour and Brexit: Corbyn’s ‘neutrality’ on a second referendum is not neutral | LSE British Politics

Jeremy Corbyn's stance on Brexit in the run up to the 2019 party conference is far from neutral and endangers his entire project to transform British politics, explains Eunice Goes.

Jeremy Corbyn defends 'neutral' stance in second EU referendum

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has defended his plan to go into a possible snap general election without saying whether he would campaign to remain in the European Union in a second Brexit referendum.

Perhaps you might consider this a 'confirmation' of a neutral stance, but really it's one of the things that's caused an awful lot of confusion about Labours position...people want them to pick one side or the other and they have largely maintained they will let the people decide.

the amount of times he’s been on TV I’ve never once heard him say that. And he’s had every opportunity, but because he said it once in September then that’s fine.

at least others you can put a flag into their position and stance

We could have Obama up against him and it would still be a tall order. The idea this would be an easy fight given the Brexit divisions is wishful thinking.

...no, it's down to "Just get in done" Brexit.

That is all. The British people are suggestible serfs.

Corbyn is a failure mate. A decade of austerity and incompetence and you have an opposition that are as close to winning an election as they were in 2010.

It's abject failure from Labour. There's no point blaming the people for not being receptive to a poorly made argument/message.

Throat.

And a tremendous amount.

 

[OnlyBlueWillDo]

He's struggling...

This feller could get his nob out and run round the studio...and there's still loads of serfs who'd back him.

That’s an awful moustache

someone needs to have a word with him

The Tories have just had a massive donation from an Oligarch close to Putin for their campaign.

Nope. 2017 saw the LP back in the game because single handedly he got them back there. This time around the Brexit BS scam has completely laid to waste normal political discourse.
