Absolute cringe-fest.

I thought she was fantastic.
Mentioning 1945 and then the Wilson "white heat of technology" really resonated with me,
She's a star and a damned sexy looking woman too.
If I had one wish granted today it would be to flat share with her and Auntie norks. It would be marvellous mental and other areas stimulation.

Keir is slimy isn't he, he's no PM
In fairness, I don't care how slimy they are or how many kids they've got as long as they do a good job and deliver on the interests of the nation.They have never, ever, delivered on or in the interest of the Nation.

Side benefits of them all biting each other like rats in a sack is that theyre not in power and may not
be electable for some considerable time.
Whats not to like?
The fact that a healthy democracy relies on there being some form of viable opposition.be electable for some considerable time.
Whats not to like?
te into a black hole of their own making will create an opportunity for someone else to become that viable opposition. Dont like rolls said:

If Starmer gets it (which looks very likely), he is surely going to get a really rough time from his own party members. I can't see Momentum etc. taking it lying down.
They have already started attacking him, you will see a lot more "Blair Stooge" type posts/story's, those and the BBC being Anti Rebecca Long-Failure by highlighting the "continuity Corbyn" type stuff.markyb_lcy said:

Yep, it is taking too long in my opinion.
Although the speed of the Tory system is better, the membership themselves will only ever get to vote on one of two candidates as the Tory MPs whittle them down to two first.
On balance as a member of a political party, I prefer the labour system, which is just as well because that’s my “camp”. It doesn’t play as well for the wider electorate though.
We’ve probably got >4 years until the next GE so it shouldn’t hurt too much in the long-run.
I think it hurts a lot, it makes labour look even more irrelevant and like nobody is running the party for an extended period.

The uk’s been without decent opposition in parliament for years and now we know corbyn’s finally going but it takes ages to find a replacement.
It feels to me like we’re in a one party country with labour libdems brexit (whatever) all in the wilderness.
Waiting ages for labour to get their act together whilst they point out what’s wrong with each other and how they all get why they’ve been rejected doesn’t help their position at all.

t-show of the way antisemitism has been dealt with (or rather not dealt with), the party is damned if they do, damned if they don't. It would be a shame if TP became a largely innocent (to my eyes) victim of what has been a complete mess on the part of the party.markyb_lcy said:

I'm just concerned that valid criticisms will be swept away as "islamophobia" and we'll end up in an environment arises where the likes of Rotherham become possible again.
That was IMO a failing of the police to properly investigate and take action against alleged criminals. If they had done their jobs properly, we wouldn't be having this conversation. I see where you're coming from though. jet_noise said:
Trevor Philips has a history of being unfashionably even handed on other contentious issues too. IIRC he has expressed uncertainty over both "positive discrimination" and avoiding the targetting of specific groups to reduce their noted propensity for knife crime.
Sort of the anti-Lammy
Yeah indeed. I fail to understand how Labour let the tail wag the dog without realising this sort of froth mouthed identity based politics only succeeds in alienating their core constituents.Sort of the anti-Lammy

In light of the current Corona Virus issue and the recommendation to avoid meetings and stuff I think it would be a sensible and practical response to postpone the Leadership election.
Jeremy has shown great leadership over this and its clear that the Conservatives have taken on board some of Jeremys concerns about how it will affect people.

Looking like it’s properly over for Labour, like forever. Can’t see how they will ever win another election. As bad as Covid-19 has been for the world, for the Tories it’s fallen into their lap, the last 10 days I’ve seen many people who were telling people to NEVER vote Tory at the last election absolutely gushing over Rishi Sunaks budget, then the £330bn for businesses and yesterday the 80% subsidisation of wages. Feels to me that people will look back on this moment and whatever happens with Covid-19 will only look fondly at the performance of Sunak. Not only that but if Brexit doesn’t end up being all “sunlit uplands” and does indeed damage the economy further then the conservatives can turn around and say “it’s the viruses fault”. That’s before you even consider the 3 leadership candidates, I think this virus could have put the final nail in the coffin for Labour. Question is, what comes next? Where’s the opposition going to come from?

Looks ever increasingly like the labour leadership contest will be cancelled and Jeremy remains as leader.
We just can't seem to get rid of this bloody virus!
I said this ages back. Anyway when you have a crisis you need stability and leadership and Jeremy and John have heavily influenced government policyWe just can't seem to get rid of this bloody virus!
