Same reason people saying "well brexit happened and Trump won so maybe corbyn will win in an upset" are sadly wrong. Also I had a glance at some of the papers today and it's funny seeing the right wing rags spin Mays disastrous meeting with Juncker as the EU trying to trick her but she stands up for plucky Britain. We're hosed for a long time. People are gonna guzzle that shite down.

Holy Christ that Diane Abbot interview is straight out of The Thick Of It. At least she wasn't actually in the studio so you couldn't see if she was blinking or not. Utterly bloody clueless.

Pissflaps posted:Sorry that's alternate history. The thing about alternate history is it supposed to make sense on its own terms. For example, you can't have an election now with a better Labour leader. If Labour had a more popular leader, they would have being doing better in the polls. And so May would not have called a snap election. So, as far as this election goes, Jeremy Corbyn is literally the best posssible Labour leader. Of Harry Turtledove's books, the best one is the series where the Confederacy hangs onto independence and quasi-slavery until the 1930s. At which point it goes full fascist and proceeeds to fight a cut+pasted WWII, more or less battle by battle. The alt-Nazi party that does this is called the Freedom Party, and are identifiably libertarian. Truly, a work of prophecy.

To be fair it sounds like Abbott initially misread the headline cost as £300,000 (instead of £300 million), got flustered and stumbled over several other figures before finding the bit of her notes with the cost breakdown and reading it out. Awkward and embarrassing and will obviously be pushed by other parties, but the fact that she got it right in the end and that Corbyn instantly had the correct answer to hand will be a bit of damage limitation.

Problem is the story has already become 'Corbyn defends Abbott over gaffe' rather than 'labour pledges new police officers'. I also think it's pretty clear what the Conservative strategy is going to be - sit tight, let Labour rush out spending pledges (and not interrupt when everyone is stumbling around making unforced errors), then in the last weeks start pulling out the 'you've spent the same money several times over, Labour can't be trusted with the national credit card etc etc' line. Labour win when they convince the public they can be trusted to spend wisely and lose when they can't, and for that reason this is precisely the worst kind of gaffe that can possibly be made.

Alchenar posted:Problem is the story has already become 'Corbyn defends Abbott over gaffe' rather than 'labour pledges new police officers'. In the last weeks presumably they won't get a chance, as Labour have promised a fully costed manifesto. Honestly it's very annoying when terrible interviews like this happen, but every time I'm reminded that the reason we have the shadow bench we do is that virtually everyone else in the PLP refused to work with Corbyn in the hope he would fail. They could have given Labour a decent chance in this election but instead they chose infighting. Whatever the result a lot of people will hopefully remember that.

Ratjaculation posted:"We are bringing you live coverage of her visit but for security reasons are unable to reveal the location until she arrives." More like until after she leaves. It's vitally important that nobody know where May is campaigning because they might be tempted to pass political comment with a thrown brick. Not that I would advocate it, but if May was killed or rendered incapable right now the entire Tory party would collapse into infighting so fast that Labour would look like an autocracy.

It's like the debate about where the North starts and whether the Midlands is part of the North, the South, or its own part of the UK. HINT: It is entirely subjective and based on where you grew up and your own perception and biases.
