What price Corbyn takes credit for Stoke/blames Blair for Copeland?   Any 1.01 about?

weighed in. 

I have read this morning that those that oppose Corbyn are the "Far right" of the labour party.  THE. FAR. RIGHT.  I'd struggle to keep a straight face if I described Farage or Trump as far right ffs(though Bannon is much easier).


I don't think it matters why Corbyn is disliked by the vast majority, whether it is the fault of the press, the plotters, or his own doing.  Surely all that matters that he is very unpopular?  Anything else is just missing the point.  Though given the recent names mentioned as alternative leaders, then I am not sure there is much hope regardless.   

On Tighty's picture, I'd recognise all bar two, glad they had the names underneath though.  Otherwise I'd have to resort to things like isn't that the one who is supposedly a contender for the leadership if Corbyn steps down.  I have always been pretty shit with putting names and faces together and am getting no better. 

I agree with many/most of Corbyn's policies (outside Brexit obv), but he might be the most unself aware person in the country if he honestly thinks the public don't see him as a laughing stock.

He has to go.

The Momentum lot have so many parallels with Trump and his coterie of clowns - well past the point of groupthink to the extent that they are so fragile that accepting any criticism at all cannot be countenanced under any circumstances.

To be fair to the Corbyn wing, I just heard Copeland described as ultrasafe on the BBC, when it really wasn't.  Though you shouldn't be losing your 30th least safe seat in a mid term byelection.

I wss thinking Dan Jarvis seems very popular then realised the middle line wasn't zero.   Oh dear. Ed Balls any good?  David Milliband?  Guess Blair is a -40 too.

If UKIP had put up a credible candidate (not sure they've got many though) they would have won Stoke.

No question in my mind of that.
