General Election - December 12th, 2019

[mat]

If he's winning why do the front bench beside him look so uncomfortable?

It shows how skewed the media is.

Some of them are trying not to faceplam. Corbyn is playing with a straight bat. Whilst Boris is lying his arse off. "Billion pounds a month going to the EU"

I hope BBC or Sky fact check him. They won't. They'll just bring a blairite out to have a go.

F..k me. Getting ready for an election? 20 000 extra police, all of whom will have to get a 3 year degree(which they will have to pay for themselves), so that’s 3 years down the line. Extra money for building in the NHS but, like my own town Boston, we will not have the staff to man it, the nation is short of 30 000 nurses and xooo’s of doctors. Extra money for schools who will be brought back to the same funding as 10 years ago.

No money for the homeless, social services and local services to try and prevent knife crime before it happens; just more room to lock em up.

The masses will love this sh1t.

he has just shoehorned the lamest "joke" comment into an answer ....in order to avoid answering the question.

 

[bluethrunthru]

He's not my hero, but he is your bogeyman.

I have said time and time again that for a no hoper Jeremy Corbyn does worry the Tories doesn't he?

 

[MillionMilesAway]

"shit or bust"??
Blimey.

The exact opposite is true.

The only thing Corbyn is really good at is campaigning, in truth that's what he's done all his political life, that's why he's a mediocre Parliamentarian.

He's hosted a number of "rebel" meetings at his place, all the participants, even Swinson, come out smiling and on message, he's good at this sort of thing.

You wrong about Corbyn for one simple reason, you believe he's driven by personal ambition, he isn't, he never has been.

Corbyn is an ideologue, he believes in something, if that something happens with him at the helm that's great, if it happens without him at the helm so be it, what matters is it happens.

Really?

What would be your take on the principled man's humongous u-turns on god knows how many issues like shoot to kill or pressing the nuclear button?

He's an opportunistic, principle-less chancer and the public have recognised it:

"When asked whose interests Jeremy Corbyn puts first during Brexit negotiations, just under one in five (18%) think that he puts the country’s interests first. Just over one in four (27%) think that he puts the Labour party first, whilst nearly half (47%) think he has been prioritising his own interests." - Ipsos/Mori.

Even if untrue (it is true), he's screwed. People don't like him and don't believe him anymore.

We still haven't seen the possible impact the Labour shift in Brexit policy has had.

It will go down well in London but Labour will always hold London. How will it go down in Labour voting leave areas up here?

I think this election (if it happens) will change the game in terms of two-party politics.

Most likely result : Tory/TBP/DUP coalition.... It might sort Brexit but it will destroy domestic policy.

 

[The perfect fumble]

I have said time and time again that for a no hoper Jeremy Corbyn does worry the Tories doesn't he?

He does indeed.

Not because he's the bull shitter his detractors bang on about in here, but because he isn't, and it has them shit scared.

They fear Corbyn actually means what he says.

 

[Ban-jani]

And now they're not up for it. The bloke's as much - if not more - of a bullshitter than the rest of them

It’s quite blatantly a trap that’s why.
