Current Affairs UK General Election July

I did not say he was an opportunist, I said oppositionist. Which means he has no plans for anything, or desire to actually be in power where you can make a real difference to people's lives. Labour should be a broad church, but people at the top have to be folk serious about the issues and willing to fight the battles that need to be won if you're going to win elections. Corbyn refused to even try. Quite simply he is not a serious political figure and never should have been party leader.

He's about to lose his seat which only tells you he isn't as loved by his constituents as people want to believe. 40 years of service and yet he can't win once Labour remove the whip? That says a lot tbh.

Apologies, my lazy reading and too much of joey quoting that fool tom bowers for years. I think someone who has been as ideology consistent as Corbyn has might appear as an oppositionist, probably the price of having principles.

On the second point, I don't think that speaks to a lack of popularity from his constituents. I'll be voting for Kim Johnson in my own constituency though I much prefer the green candidate having met him a few times and listened to his opinions on local issues that are important. I'll be doing so because I'm voting against the worst rather than for the best, I would imagine there is lots of similar motivation in Corbyns constituency where he remains popular, as by all accounts he was an accessible and hard working MP.

The Corbyn election is very interesting to watch, there’s a big difference between him walking around the streets talking to people (admittedly these could all be set up) and Pragrund just talking to “activists”, who may or may not be from the local CLP.

I am biased but I really hope he wins, local choice should be paramount rather than voting for a party ahead of the party’s candidate.

edit: speaking of Bower, I see he’s turned his keen journalism on the Beckhams now

It's interesing how internet algorithms go crazy during election campaigns. Particularly as there's the GE in the UK and Presidential election in the US. My YouTube home page is filled with ultra-biased content. It's wild how they try to get in to your head, it's interesting to see as an observer.

His late and half hearted joining in with 'rip it down' tells plenty. "Oooh what about the insurance if something is broken..." etc

Yep, no one can forgot the joy we've all experienced in the last 14 years. Thank you Daily Telegraph.

Labour is coming after all that gives us pleasure

Brace for a crusade against the few personal freedoms we have left if Starmer takes the reins

Could personal freedoms mean Human Rights ? Damn Labour for getting rid....Oh wait a minute that was the Tories too.

Could be a technicality. "All that gives US pleasure". Foodbank use, spiralling nhs waiting lists, capitalising on financial uncertainty to bet against the £, deaths in ambulances, the demonisation of the poorest and most vulnerable, the spectre of fear, increasing numbers of children in poverty, suicides up, self harm up, misery up.

Considering there’s ‘no difference’ between the Tories and Starmer’s lot, the right wing press is putting a hell of a lot of effort into backing the conservatives.

The Barclays and Rothermere certainly see something there worth fighting for.

….bit of a fun article on Sky News website where they talk to the people who count the votes. One says, lots of people spoil the paper by ‘drawing d1cks’ whilst another says;




Got me wandering if this was the cat face he was referring to as the poor lad has got nobody to vote for;
