shout...Come on, Labour

We MUST keep Corbyn ticking over or the messiah Very Naughty Blair and Minigland might come galloping back.

Comedy would be dead without Corby, Dodgy Di and Egregious Emily

Well My sources are predicting a LABOUR hold in both constituencies. This will be a resounding stamp of approval for the Labour Leader and of course the other members in his cabinet. Some of these other members are hard working women. Some of these women may not be familiar to you and you cant put a face to the name. I am here to help you with that.

Copeland is neck and neck with possibly Torys ahead. According to the live news channels.

Which sources do you have? We will see their reliability once you verify and we get the actual result

Direct from Labour:-

Tories likely to win in Copeland, say Labour

Labour are starting to talk up the prospects of the Conservatives winning in Copeland. A source says that the constituency is looking neck and neck but that “the rural areas still to come in will probably favour the Tories.”



How does this stack up against your sources?

A resounding victory for Labour in Stoke and a vindication of Jeremy Corbyns clear leadership.
Also a vote of confidence in the progressive and intelligent woman members of Labours Front Benches

That's pretty much torpedoed any chances of a leadership challenge; Jezbollah lives on to do his job, that of making May look prime ministerial. hehe

Being serious for a minute.
Why do politicians do it ? Why tell lies about stuff that all too easily be discovered via the power of the net.
I don't have an axe to grind against him but in all honesty this Paul Nuttall seems extremely naïve.

Big swing as well, not a narrow victory.

Tory Tory Tory Tory Tory.

7% swing and a close second in Stoke.

So whatever noise you are making about the Torys the public prefer them more than you give them credit.

Couple of points.

1. My sources are explaining the discrepancy between the result on Copeland and the predicted Labour hold. They tell me its due to a massive anti Corbyn bias amongst sane thinking people.George the Riger (don't know his real name - sorry) said the lack of a postal vote in large numbers didn't help as they were unable to count them twice. Another point raised was the appalling weather which meant some of their key voters were unable to get out due to the benefit cuts.
2. It was a magnificent result in Stoke which they are justly proud of. They admit that some further work has to be done to get the message across and its becoming hard on Jeremy to do the amount of work he does. From now on they are going to enlist the talents of other shadow cabinet members in particular the Labour women. These are seen as vote winners. Angela Rayner will be do more message enforcement. Her ability to resonate with some key demographics is seen as very advantageous.
There is also talk of utilising the talents of some people who participate in social media to get the message across. I mentioned our esteemed member here - Jawknee and it was agreed that Jawknee's role in this could be pivotal.

Hope that's cleared up the confusion.

Corbyn rules out resigning following Labour's defeat in Copeland

Jeremy Corbyn recorded a clip for broadcasters before he started his speech. Referring to the Copeland result, he said:
Geography_Teacher said:
Copeland is obviously very disappointing. I hoped we’d have won the election there. We didn’t ...
When he was asked if he would resign in the light of the fact that Labour’s share of the vote has been falling in a series of byelections now, he ruled out the proposal. He replied:
Geography_Teacher said:
I was elected to lead this party. I was elected to lead this party to oppose austerity, to oppose the redistribution of wealth in the wrong direction, which is what this government is doing. We will continue our campaigning work on the NHS, on social care, on housing.
