General Election 2019

Ban the internet

Is this a fully costed plan?

The last panel should keep gun there, but bloke in pink needs to be less healthy, older and delivering a headshot to himself at same time.

Bloody hell. I stand corrected on wrong shoe-gate then. Wtf.

I still think Freedland would blame Corbyn if he burnt his toast.

I’m with you on that. The artists blog/website/book is so great. I’ve completely forgotten his name right now though... https://cornellajoan.tumblr.com/

I crashed a fixed gear bike, smashed a MacBook and have been locked out of tumblr ever since. The day my youth ended or something.

Ed Miliband in 2015: "Earlier today I rang David Cameron to congratulate him. I take absolute and total responsibility for the result and our defeat at this election."
Corbyn 2019: "I have received more personal abuse than any other leader has received by a great deal of the media"

Miliband was treated appallingly by the media, and took it on the chin. Corbyn's self pity, and lack of contrition is symptomatic of the ineptitude that threw this election away. You failed, you got it wrong, go away.

I suspect that she had a foot swell up after being on her feet all day. It's a diabetes thing.

And what does it matter if she wore odd shoes?
Really?
It's just another way to monster someone who is other.

There are reasons to pick on an elected official, ineptitude is one (is she? More than others? Or is she just a more visible inept MP who because they're black and female it's ok to go to town on?). Picking on someone's clothing choice as a another way to just go mad on them is pretty basic.

Picking in burgon though? Go to town. He's inept.

Was Labour voted conservative woman -

Asked what it was in particular that she disliked about Corbyn, she replied: “There’s something about his mannerisms.”

What is 'wrong' with his mannerisms ?

He’s a Marxist, apparently.

Marxism isn't a mannerism is it ?

Wearing two mismatched left shoes is odd though. Given Abbott hasn’t explained it, not sure why others are trying to. Half the attention was because of the denials or accusations of fake news. I only heard about the whole thing because of people saying it shouldn’t be a thing. Streisand effect and all that.

The scale of abuse, misinformation and outright propaganda from the right-wing establishment and the MSM in general was unprecedented with Corbyn.
Sure, every Labour leader gets generally slated but this was exceptional.

Not that I think this was the only reason Corbyn's Labour failed. There's a few other good reasons.

Fixed. Ta.

No it was not an ironic post. I'm not sure that "the media" is a sufficient explanation to the current outcome.

Also, the article is pretty clear that much of his opinion came from travelling around the country speaking to people.

Are you suggesting that the rest of the article has no basis?

Hindsight is 20/20 but I can’t help but think that a simple message that “Britain can’t afford the Tories for another 5 years” that focussed on the NHS, homelessness, UC and the costs of Brexit on top would have had a better chance than free broadband and a four day week.

Remarkable, inventive even,

Which parts?

Anyone involved in electoral reform campaign?

I'm keen to lend my support to one, but if there's loads all asking for different things I feel it'll be pissing in the wind.

Edit: https://www.electoral-reform.org.uk/ seems to be main one?

I managed to wear different trainers the other week when in a rush and not paying attention in the morning.
CSB.

I can’t help feel that Diane Abbot might be suffering the early onset of alzheimers. The way she talks sometimes and gets things muddled is one thing that could be put to exhaustion but the shoes actually make me worry for her now. That’s the sort of behaviour of someone with health difficulties like Alzheimer’s or dementia.
