Current Affairs The General Election

Corbyn arriving.

Smiling and waving.

This momentum tool just doesn't get it. Brexit was the only thing that mattered.

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

Surely this all goes back to the New Labour project? They abandoned the working class to chase votes. It’s all been a sort of slow, painful death since then.

Very much so, it simply never achieved replacing the industry that was lost in the 80s. I can understand the logic of those areas called the red wall of the north, however, whether this will bear the fruit they really do deserve is another matter.

Right on momentum, wrong on Brexit.

pointed out that the only Lab leader to win an election in the last 50 years is Blair (something I also pointed out many pages ago)... and yet we still have posters here who think "the policies are fine, it's just a leader problem." Er, no. Britain is not a socialist country, and every time Labour go down that path they get destroyed. Everything about the current Labour party needs total upheaval. Similar to their position after 1983, there will be a lot of soul searching to be done, ideological debates to be had, and a long road back to the middle ground where they can credibly fight elections again.

Ian Duncan Smith can burn.

Dayom. Alastair Campbell absolutely putting the boot in. Like him or loathe him you can't deny that he's generally got his finger on the pulse of the country.

All I saw was an old spin doctor spinning the message he wanted out there as hard as he can!

Jezza turns up and instantly Labour take a nose dive

"It's all the media"
I love Andrew Neil.

 

[Furey1878]

Crazy world we live in lar

Tory government fails the people and the NHS for 9 years and get a mad majority because people reckon it's all the EU's fault.

 

[mccole]

Southport and Blackpool can get to F##K NEW BRIGHTON 4 LIFE

 

[Cardano]

Ian Duncan Smith can burn.

He’s the architect of Universal Credit which I know full well is an abomination that only grinds down people in vulnerable positions and makes their situations worse.

Designed by a man with no idea what it’s like to be financially vulnerable.

He should be in gaol.

I know a bloke who was on the flying pickets in the 70's, hasn't voted Labour since 97.

IDS a man who should be up for murder holds on to his seat. This really does show the true face of England.

Ian Duncan Smith the man who targeted our worst off and reaps the rewards. What on Earth has this country become? We are little America, this is our Trump moment.
