But does anyone listen to the Conservative front bench, when they are indulging in their pompous rants, they surely switch off. If the alternative to hearing Boris in full on lying mode was to be run over by a tank, many would prefer the tank option. Tell that to the largest majority of people for 50 yrs who voted for him . 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Garvie Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 13 hours ago, SheungWan said: Once Corbyn and his crew fell into the elephant trap and agreed to call an election. the story wasn't just about Brexit any more. The core objective was to defeat Corbyn and defeated he was, but it is doubtful that the Corbynistas will pass peacefully into the night. And if that is the case, then Labour is done for whatever Boris gets up to. If Keir S just puts some sticking plaster on the problem we will soon enough know. Good point. Polls now suggest that KS is well ahead of continuity Corbyn (Long Bailey), but time will tell. KS is no fool, his recent statements have suggested that he is moving cautiously towards a nuanced, but more open position of reforming the party. Given that numerous Tories claimed to have joined the Labour Party specifically to elect Corbyn (For them the gift that goes on giving) now would be the time to join the Labour Party and vote Starmer or Phillips, to ensure that the LP doesn't descend to the ocean floor as in the amusing HIGNFY video posted by Vogie. ("Enjoy Jon Richardsons take on J Corbyn.") This slow motion crash has been gifted by the idiocy of Ed Miliband, who made it possible for people to sign up for the party for a minimal fee, and vote in elections shortly afterwards. One way to start the repair would be to require members to be signed up for 6 months to a year before they were entitled to vote. "Once Corbyn and his crew fell into the elephant trap and agreed to call an election". Elephant traps are a red rag to a bull for Jeremy, tell him where one is and he will leap into it. The anti Brexit majority in the house was destroyed because the LP would not accept a caretaker leader, it was Corbyn or nothing. However given Corbyn, Laverty, Milne, Murphy, and McLusky's impeccable Europhobe credentials, this may have worked out just as they hoped. (They would probably just rather have won the election, but a brain dead lemming could have told them that was never going to happen). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is certainly the same ditch that all the Hard Brexiteers here were going to fight to the end in. But they appear to have folded for now. Well maybe not all of them.

The key for Starmer and Thornbury is whether they can ditch Corbynism. It is that which will determine Labour's recovery or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The impact of Parties in Northern Ireland whether Sinn Fein or DUP not merely reduced to how many MPs in the UK Parliament they have.

Boris has never had a problem telling lies either. None so far have been anywhere near as big as Blair's WMD claims, thank God, but give him time. He might join Donald on a Middle East misadventure, perhaps. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/boris-johnson-lies-conservative-leader-candidate-list-times-banana-brexit-bus-a8929076.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
