I'm loving the spin. Apparently Labourlive hadn't actually started when all those photos of empty stages were being shown. Someone should maybe have told Levi Roots and Eddie Izzard that.
To be fair the thousands being bussed in from the North for free don't normally get up before mid day so couldn't possibly have got there much before 5.Got to admit, it must have been pretty s

I particularly liked the line 'it seemed that the event had something of the authentic character of its headline act, even if that actually made it more village fete than Sandinista rally.'

Anyone else get the impression the seemingly unstoppable wave of popularity seen at the election for JC and his gang has now evaporated? Like when a tsunami watning is given and people head for high ground, only for a ripple of water roll up on the beach
Peak Jezza is long gone.I think Corbyn should be commended for running this event. It's not often you can untie all sides of the political spectrum in mocking laughter. Even The Guardian is on board

Peak Jezza is long gone.They've seen what works on social media now, so expect it to be a hundred times more intense next time round.
Lots of those teenagers on social media that were too young to vote will be old enough to vote next time, and having seen his "win" at the last election and how the underdog nearly won etc, they'll be itching to vote for him to make a real change etc etc.
He'll continue pushing for the young vote and saying the right things to make the <30s feel better about themselves because we live in such horrid times.
He's a pretty good example of a fad - no one cares about him until the election and his team go hard on social media.

Fads go out of fashion for decades, not in and out of fashion all the time.They've seen what works on social media now, so expect it to be a hundred times more intense next time round.

One thing I can tell you is that Theresa May will not survive another election.
Tories don't want to vote for her and non-tories certainly won't.
I think if there was an election tomorrow, there would be a horrifically low turnout, the Lib Dems would see a massive increase in vote share and we would probably end up with a LibLab coalition.

I could see that happening, like some crazy three way swing, it goes up, it goes down, it goes up, it goes down. The UKiPs bubble has popped and they've all returned home, so that is a factor that I think won't be the crazy wildcard next time round, this time, it's remainer voters oozing from red and blue gangs to the orange gangTories don't want to vote for her and non-tories certainly won't.

reminded me of this, 'watching the ships come, to watch them go out again.'

Not to mention the <30s have a large disparity between the strength of their convictions (high), the overlap of their stated convictions and their actual behaviour (low), and their propensity to be arsed to actually vote (extremely low).
