Just give him a quick elbow and a push and he'd be over that railing. Would also clean the harbour with all the bicarb he's put up his nose.

jabby posted:Yeah, Farage was good but the reason he was so popular was because he served a useful purpose. He was the mouthpiece Rupert Murdoch and the other media elites chose to spread the message they wanted. Now that the Tories are going full brexit UKIP doesn't enjoy the same kind of media protection. I mean they aren't hammered like Labour, but neither are negative stories about them buried either. Murdoch backs winning horses but he doesn’t breed them; Dacre is the one feeding that particular fire and the only thing Farage is a mouthpiece for is his own colon. The attacks on Paul Nuttall have all the hallmarks of the parliamentary research unit or whatever they call the mudslinging part of CRD now. Journalists don’t stumble across letters to regional newspapers from 2010 by accident they get put onto to them by people who have big folders full of clippings saved up for a rainy day. I’d guess that CCHQ has gamed the best possible outcome as a Lab victory over UKIP in Stoke and a narrow win/defeat for the Tories in Copeland and has deployed their resources appropriately; keep Dear Leader on life-support until the GE while putting the boot very firmly into UKIP before it can redefine itself after the Brexit vote.

Because the Tories are 18 (eighteen) points ahead of labour in the latest opinion poll. He is doing their job for them. He guarantees a Tory election win while he is in post and is helping murder the Labour Party. That's why.

I don't think anyone expects Corbyn to resign regardless of the results of these by-elections. The Tories might indeed want Corbyn to continue as leader (although I doubt it) but it's a bit fanciful to imagine they are playing some puppet master game with Stoke when he isn't going anywhere regardless. If the government is indeed leaking this stuff about Nuttall it's probably because an awful lot of their poll boost came from UKIPs serious decline and it benefits them directly to try and destroy them as a party and subsume their voters.

Eg SNP amendments which said things Labour didn't exactly disagree with but came from the SNP and therefore must be bad in some way. For example, NC 143 required the Chancellor to publish "an assessment of the financial liability of the UK towards the EU following the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the EuropeanUnion, and" to make "a statement to the House of Commons on the economic impact of the United Kingdom leaving the single market.” Labour also abstained on the programme motion, ie the vote to say the debate on the amendments (Committee stage) was limited to just three days. Not sure why they did that.

This makes me unreasonably angry, and you see it on basically any large housing development in London. No mention of what an interesting place it is to live, whether there's nice views, local shops, or even a picture of the loving develoopment. The fact it's almost directly opposite the Freedom Press and on the site of the first skirmishes of the Battle of Cable Street makes it feel like I'm being teabagged though.
