Current Affairs UK General Election July

[Prevenger17]

Thank God he never made PM

Yep, luckily you got *checks notes* Boris Johnson, Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak instead

Corbyn an extremist. Lol

I’ve mentioned this before. Know a guy who was from in Militant and he said a corbyn was always derided as being ‘soft left’ by them,

It’s a pretty sad state of affairs when so many people think he’s some sort of extremist. The left has been decimated.

Extremist might be harsh, but he was a crap leader and lost two winnable elections.

This has always been a simple point for me, do you want Corbyn (or a politician with similar views) and for labour to be in eternal opposition or a centre left labour party in power. It's an easy choice. The alternative is this rabbid lot of corrupt tories

He couldn't beat Theresa May who ran an utterly awful campaign or the serial liar Johnson. It's his own fault.

Centre left doing an awful lot of heavy lifting there, bud.

IMO.

Fair enough - however you want to define this iteration of the labour party, in most seats it's a choice between them and the corrupt tories

 

[Walken]

Then why do they want rid of him in the first vote since he lost the Labour whip?

He's a career oppositionist, all he's ever cared about is leading a protest movement and only engaging with people whom already agree with him. He handed the keys to No.10 to the two worst Tory PMs in history, May then Johnson. All whilst cheering about "winning the argument". Cause that makes a difference in people's lives doesn't it Jeremy. Whenever he appears on mainstream TV and has his positions and past allegiences challenged by adept interviewers, without fail he loses his rag and resorts to petutalance. Quite simply he's a joke of a political leader, with evidence being born out of the fact he can't even retain his constituency without the party's help.

Yes he's a more fundamentally decent human being that most of the Tory mob we've been subjected too over the last 14 years. However, that doesn't mean he isn't a ridiculous figure with his supporters actual rivalling Trump's in terms of sheer lunacy to defend him at all costs, and ignore readily available facts about his record.

You've got quite the imagination

Nope. Blame the gutter press, blame the gullible public and blame in Labour in-fighting before blaming the man.

While I don’t disagree with this. The gutter press, gullible public and Labour in-fighting is something every Labour leader has to deal with.

Those things were in place pre and post Corbyn and will never change.

Decent point but how would Corbyn have dealt with the Russian invasion of Ukraine?

He also wouldn't press the button to launch our nukes.

You've got quite the imagination

And you clearly have no comeback to refute any of that. Like the man himself when he's pushed to explain his past associations and friendships with the likes of Hamas, IRA figures, criminally convicted anti-semites, etc.

Game. Set. Match.

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

....and we're talking about Corbyn, because, what - nothing has happened in the last 4 years worth mentioning?

 

[DuuuncanHadaPigeon]

Nope. Blame the gutter press, blame the gullible public and blame in Labour in-fighting before blaming the man.

The gutter press and gullible public are an ever present at every election.

Labour in-flighting, all that points to is a weak leader who is unable to control his own party let alone the country.

He seems a decent bloke Corbyn, I have no hate towards him, but he was an awful leader. You can blame who you want but the leader is ultimately responsible, and he lost two winnable elections.

Anyway, enough about Corbyn, he is irrelevant to this election. In a week, hopefully this rabble of Tory rats will be all but gone

Crap leader sure. I can get behind that to an extent. No way an extremist ffs

he was fighting the treacherous scum in his own parliamentary party as well as the tories. done well to get the votes he did considering everything he was up against.
