Their new catchphrase 'Tories rigging democracy'. All they do is sound bite sneering. They have yet to provide any details to show how their policies will be paid for.

In fairness, they can't say how their policies will be paid for until they say what their policies actually are!

I forgot. Pay for kids school dinners by adding Vat on private school fees. What a lunatic idea that is.

More lunatic than replacing Trdent, but not arming it? We all thought it was pretty binary...

1. Pay the money and have a deterent
2. Don't replace it, and save the money.

The idiot came up with pay the money and don't have a deterent.

It's not wholly without logic in his bizarro socialist paradise; building the trident replacement subs will keep thousands of union members in well paid work, then sailing them about with blanks cocked and ready to fire keeps other thousands of union members in well paid work, all while paying lip service to his kneejerk unilateralism by not arming the missiles.

Good old Jeremy is on Marr now,
Ensuring his status as unelectable.

Posed with the question ' what orders would you give the Trident sub captains in the event of a nuclear attack on the UK. Fire or not fire?'

JC: Negotiate


Sorry pal, it'll be a bit late for that...

Yes - total train crash. He may as well say "I'm unelectable".

[Lance Catamaran]

You've been told where the leader of ISIS is, would you authorise a drone strike



Well first we'd have to look at the intelligence, consider our options...............


FFS


Still, MPs would get another 4 days off a year I suppose

It is bizarre.

Then given the challenge MI6 /SAS come urgently to him as PM we have the location of ISIS leader can you sanction the drone strike.
JC: well let me have all the info. How sure are you. What is the wider impact. Do we want to do that.
Marr : so what do you do?

So he wants Trident submarine captains to take on the role of negotiating and can't take individual responsibility as Prime Minister for a drone strike? He just doesn't have the chops.

[Welshbeef]

Well that was very interesting.

He cannot answer a question.
He likes to have a debate (or negotiation)

Oddly when asked who he would call first turns out Trump is 28th in the list.... personally he would be first (I'd actually run down he order of the G8 and then the commonwealth).

[anonymous-user]

I sometimes wonder if he simply knows how unbelievably crap he'd be as PM and thus ensures he won't with what he spouts.

Because he can't really be as bad as he makes out, can he?

And let's say those Admirals all have the same decision nuke the fk out of x however JC is out of the loop and having to answer the phone to all the world leaders to explain why we did that - oh um I didn't do it they did so I'm teflon again.

Its a moot point anyway. The Trident replacement will be unarmed so all the captain of those boats can fire off is a strongly worded email.

But of course not so strongly worded that someone might be offended.

This is a real issue for Jc and labour.
No trident or nukes means tens of thousands of labour jobs gone in areas where there are no other work alternatives...

If the email comes direct from Jeremy it will include an invite for tea (Earl Grey) and scones, plain of course.

No, it's moot because he's never going to be PM.

Thank fk.

Marr interview here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqvR00lU_8s

He actually talked me round on the extra bank holidays thing. But security wise, I don't think I have ever been so scared of someone being one election away from leading Britain. I have said it before that Labour deal almost exclusively in theoretical and ethereal matters rather than the actual meat & potatoes of government, and that was clear here. There are some things on which you cannot dither, and Corbyn has no notion of that.

He actually thinks that Labour can carry on being an Islingtonite talking shop after winning an election, and doesn't realise that will hand an advantage to people who aren't as peace-loving as him. Of course these people don't exist in Corbynland, we all want to embrace our brothers and sisters in unity really...

Leadership involves acknowledging that bad people exist and they will only avoid doing bad things to you if you threaten them with the same or worse. You don't have to like it, but you do have to do it.

He's a traitor.
