Boris leadership 2019

Braying, overweight, lazy animal. The donkey is alright though.

I like that he has no neck and looks like a ball sac(k?)

Fuck knows what would happen in a GE.

Tories increased their MPs to get back to the majority they had under Cameron.

Corbyn has lost pretty much all his political good will and benefit of the doubt.

Bar his fanboy's no one actually wants to vote for him anymore. Assuming he has any kind of election strategy, its limited to basically hoping the centerist dads still have enough motivation to drag themselves to the voting booth to cast their ballot against BJ.

What's worse than agreeing with @hugo7? Agreeing with him when he says everything is shit and never going to get better.

One of the first things she did was say Corbyn had to step down, so it's hard to say who cast the first stone. Labour had their stones prepared but I suspect so did she

Don't be so sure about Corbyn (he is not the best person to lead Labour, I admit...Keir Starmer would be my choice). The next GE will be on more than Brexit but the Tory record since 2010... austerity, gig economy, NHS and social care...don't write off Labour just yet (though, I would prefer a grand coalition/electoral pact between Labour, SNP, LDs, Greens and PC...that would kill off Tory/Brexit Parties.

The next election will be 100% about Brexit, nothing else will get a look in.

And Corbyn has been really up front and open about his/Labour’s stance so it will all go swimmingly...

I think Boris will call a GE, question is when.

Anyone fancy tomorrow as the when?

I got talking to a middle age train driver at the pub the other day. We were talking about escalating rent costs and he was saying how awful it is that his teenage son may never be able to buy a home. He was particularly troubled by the fact that “no one in power will ever do anything about this”. I suggested that Corbyn might if he was elected.

Well, the utterance of Corbyn sent this now very unfriendly fella into a flustered mess. Like he was regurgitating all of the right wing headlines from the past three years, he proceeded to yell at me that Corbyn was “the WORST one of the lot! An evil man. A really terrifying man. If he gets in power I’m leaving the country! He’s a terrorist sympathiser! He’s a Marxist you know! He’s a Nazi! And I don’t like Nazis!”

Now, I drank up pretty quickly, but before I left I asked him what he thought of Boris Johnson. “Oh Boris, he’s just a bumbling fool”.

One anecdote I know, but Boris Johnson wins a General Election against Corbyn 100. And I am someone who joined the Labour Party because of Corbyn.

I've experienced this, the spouting of the headlines, too

i can't face my mother in law due to this .......that, and she's a bit of a cunt.

So Labour need to try corbinism without Corbyn?

Marxist Nazi. Impressive

But the Nazis were socialists! It's in there name!

Yes, I've had the exact same thing from my father. I've had it for about two years now. I'm not sure, two years ago, what he thought the worst thing that Corbyn could do would be.

I'm sure it wouldn't have involved risking breaking up the whole UK, risking the worst recession in living memory, associating with the far right etc. I think it was probably something to do with the binmen going on strike in the 70's or something.

I'm tired of all this. I imagine that's the reaction that they want.

So Labour need to try corbinism without Corbyn?

Nothing to do with the man of course, the hostile reaction from the sensibles and media is due to his anti-austerity stance and promised investment into public services. Anyone else trying that will get the same.

Jess Phillips is being lined up to be the 'unity' candidate come a leadership election where she'll make some vague noises to appeal to the left but plough on with a centrist agenda.

One of the first things she did was say Corbyn had to step down, so it's hard to say who cast the first stone. Labour had their stones prepared but I suspect so did she

Should be noted in her 'No Corbins' speech she didn't rule out working with Boris. Tells you all you need to know about the Lib Demmers

I still don't think the Tories will risk a general election before they've implemented the Boundary Review and gerrymandered Labour out of the picture.

For all that the 2017 election was like reaching down the loo for May, she did buy the Tories two more years with it.

Tired. Yes. This.
Yesterday’s announcement was, I think, the reason for the day being such a colossal downer. I can’t face having to sit through another cycle of ‘that’ - more months of inevitable failure and recrimination (pursuing the unattainable then blaming the EU for intransigence and remainers for ‘not believing’ or whatever) - and we’ll all be no closer to resolving this.
(Trump quote of Boris and Nigel ‘will do tremendous things’ together is just added shit flung).

I have noticed the Corbyn narrative has switched up from “70s throwback beard’n’sandals type who isn’t up to governing” > “marxist superman who will render the UK into a totalitarian state within days of being elected”.

Ugh.

After that he spent £9.95 on a Swedish craft beer that I’m too poor to buy.

Rumours that Johnson will include Dominic Cummings in his team.

Jess Phillips

lol, it's amazing how the labour right always manages to serve up the least talented people as potential saviours. see also chukka umunna.
