Prorogation - Judgment Day:10.30am Tuesday 24/9/19

Boris Johnson is the worst PM the country has ever had. As well as the most dangerous. He's a five-star ****.

Yet despite all that, there is ZERO chance of Jeremy Corbyn beating him in an election. The constituencies needed to get Labour over the line simply won't vote for him in the numbers required. He has no broad appeal beyond his own base of supporters.

How can the shower of cunts currently running the country into the ground STILL be more popular than the opposition? It's genuinely unprecedented and it's all because Corbyn is toxic to the Labour brand. It's all very well having an ideology and I admire him for sticking to it. But in doing so he is making his own party completely unelectable.

There has to come a point where the Labour membership realises that gaining power with a watered-down manifesto fronted by someone who has even a grain of charisma is better than trying to sell a perennial pipedream from the opposition benches.

Continuing down this current route is condemning the Labour Party to a lifetime in opposition and dooming the rest of us to a lifetime of Tory governments irrespective of how undeniably shit they perform.

They could call it New Labour!

I wonder if it could work?
 
These questions have to be asked, why have we allowed Brexit to become so important that people are supporting a Prime Minister that besmirches the name of a murdered MP and dismisses the claims of another that she is receiving death threats as "humbug"

The same people support his unlawful prorogation of Parliament and also support his choice use of divisive language and dismiss claims he is acted immorally with a casual air and are now blaming Parliament for the impasse.

How has it come to this?

Why have we allowed this issue to become so toxic and all encompassing?

How will any future PM of any party hope to reconcile the split in our nation?

If we leave how will those who support remain be treated?

If we remain how will those who support leave be treated?

If we cannot sort out our own house how on earth can we go out into the world with any authority?

Do you genuinely fear for the future?

Are you happy with the way things are going?

Where will it end?

In what way has he besmirched Jo Cox name? I am not sure he has even brought her up? Seems like very low point scoring to me?

Do you think Boris does not get threats from the left daily?

He didn't bring her up, Labour MP's did as they used her name and death to try and push their political point.

That is the truth of what happened last night in Parliament.

Ha, yes, admittedly we've been here before!

But I don't think they'd need to go anywhere near as centrist as Blair was to win now. Just compromise on some of the more extreme policies that will NEVER appeal to a broad section of voters.

The country is largely centrist.

its why New Labour had the success it had.

I think we need to be careful not to suggest they intentionally did that as some sort of strategy (I hope not anyway). All sides were talking passionately and the discussion entered that territory.

Of course. But I appreciate the party's core support wouldn't want to move that far again. Fortunately for them, I don't think they'd need to. But they will have to move part of the way. Surely they must see that.
