How very odd that the papers aren't running with it.

It's not odd. It's waffly, unfocused bullshit that ignores the single newsworthy point that the Tories broke a manifesto pledge. Corbyn is poo poo.

Adults' ears shut down when you call something "unfair".

You don't see the papers calling it "unfair" like narked teenagers. They address the specific points. A manifesto pledge has been broken and millions of self employed people are getting hosed.

I think they're damaging the Tory party and Labour directly benefits from that. I agree Labour need to go hard on this budget, but their main goal will be to prolong the negative media attention. Nothing they could do right this second would intensify it.

No, you're parroting the general media line they've used over the last year or so to downplay Corbyn, when they're just not outright blanking out any policy talk he does, and that oddly you also picked up over the last year or so. It makes you sound like one of those terrible political cartoons you see in the UK politoon thread.

They do have an online cyber-shop but they have taken down all the really tacky ornaments they used to sell on it. :( It used to be like an extremely dark St Patrick's day stall.

I'm not parroting the media line. My opinion of Corbyn is my own after watching a year and a half of him driving the Labour Party into the dirt while gibbering idiots gleefully cheer him on.

Don't bother actually trying to make him engage in substantive policy or messaging talk. He's an empty centrist idiot. Just call a spade a spade and move on.

To assume that the Labour Party in its current state will automatically benefit from the media attacking the Tories on an issue that the labour leadership has ignored is naive. It's naive AF.

Labour should have been pushing on the broken manifesto promise. I already said this hours ago.

It's not about what the media is saying it's about what Labour is or isn't saying and how it's saying or not saying it.

The Tories rightly getting eviscerated by the press for shafting working class tories like Most Builders does not make people wish that John Ashworth MP was health sec, it just puts the conservatives on the back foot, for one morning.

Unless you're advocating for Corbyn going out knocking on doors, any message Labour puts out has got to be picked up and reported by the media. So what do you want them to be saying that would be better than what they're currently saying?
