If they came round I wouldn’t bother arguing, just try out as many swearwords as possible

Last one. Putting Johnson in charge. Putting a cartoon character in charge of the country. Fuck you you fucking shitbag arseholes.

Yep and yep … also losing all their WhatsApp messages all of a sudden when asked for them and Sunak refusing to hand Johnson’s over!

Just this alone should be sacking/ resignation material but where would you start, it’s been a continuous torrent of shit from Cameron, “austerity” Brexit onwards. String em up

If it’s true that Corbyn’s standing against Labour it’s a gift for Starmer. He can say he’s the sensible, moderate force against both the tories and the hard left.

Major headache for the Tories?

Wow crazy
No here is the quandry:
Vote Corbyn as he is the only hope of real change and risk taking a vote against labour making tories have a better chance OR vote labour to make sure no chance of Tories seeing the right side of parliament again and Labour barely making a change.
Hmmmm

Am I remembering this wrong but when Corbyn ran as Labour leader, the election was called as a Tory win by something stupid like 10pm that very night!?

Corbyn was well and truly fucked over, but he isn’t enough of a politician. It’s a shit business and it’s not about being a nice guy and telling the truth, sadly

He was pro-Brexit in an anti-Brexit party, where as May was anti-Brexit in a pro Brexit party.

Crazy times.

They announce the results of the exit poll at 10pm every election.

The minute after voting ends.

I saw a clip of John Curtis saying he knows the result by about 2pm.

I remember Laura Kaunsberg calling it a bad night well before then.

Absolutely but why does it have to be this way. We as people are continually putting up with what we have been served as “that’s the way it just is”. It’s NOW that we need another way. We have to have fresh ideas not just try and make old untenable ideas just about manageable today.
Whole rethinks of what government IS and what they do and fresh rules to keep people doing the correct job the best they can.
House of lords scrapped being a good first, making all services that we need to function as a standard modern human need to be run and serving impeccably too.

I voted for Corbyn in 2018, and would still vote for him now, in theory, except he hasn’t got a chance of forming a government and Starmer has.

In an ideal world Starmer would let him back in to the party and he could help balance our Starmers more centrist takes, but that won’t happen either because neither would compromise.

Basically he got absolutely destroyed for life by the media, and being a decent bloke in comparison to everyone else in government no longer really holds much sway.

Yep. People parroting that he doesn’t have what it takes didn’t help either. No one has any idea why they parrot it, they just hear that he’s not strong enough by people with vested interests and it rubs off on people.
We don’t need a “character” in charge, we need to see less of these people because we don’t need to if everything is working perfectly. Levelling up is a buzz word of course but Corbyn was the only candidate that knows the meaning of it and would try and implement it correctly. I would worry that because that would oppose so many people who have power he’d not make anything stick and end up defamed terribly or dead. They did enough of a job on him last time and he may not have even survived that. Anti Semitism is even bigger a weapon now.

He handled the whole Labour and anti-semitic allegations terribly at the time iirc? He was his own worst enemy at times too, as well as being an easy target for the media.

Id vote for him as well but and I was being cynical but the facts are a centrist govt is the only hope of getting the Tories out. Sad but true
