Sefton Park in Liverpool is the one so nice they based Central Park in New York on it.

I'll grand you that a cheeky spliff in Hyde Park before heckling speakers corner is really nice though.

Incredible the Tories thought debating Corbyn was too risky, and then made her face Andrew Neil. Great stuff.

If only sensible Owen Smith was Labour leader now. I'm sure the party would be 20 points ahead off the back of some cleverly targeted and realistic manifesto pledges.

the difference is the restaurant will make the pasta themselves.

i am going to get a pasta maker when I get back from holiday so I can make my own spaghetti and noodles

The ones that make their own pasta outside of London are still half the price.

Corbyn has been a shite leader but he's big on campaigning and labour should have had him out and about before now
He's out and about more than people realise (see: pre–Brexit) but the media often just ignores it.

Edit: Haha the look on his face at the end when he knows he's absolutely nailed her is great.

hes been going to rallies and delivering speeches to audiences all over the uk every week since he became party leader (and of course, from before then too)

you only really see mention of them in labour circles because the media is overly focused on westminster

So we've got a horror show of a tory campaign. A Tory leader who is like a rabbit in the headlights. An unpopular Tory manifesto and botched u-turns. A press hostile to the Tories. They're loving it up big time.

This should be a walk in the park for labour.

Who or what will be blamed when the Tories win the election anyway?

And Labour have been gaining ground since the election was called. What the gently caress are you complaining about?

The Tory lead was a house of cards built on Brexit. Maybe the quote that will sum up this election will be "Easy come, easy go."

She presents an article from a labour magazine dated 1984 relating to IRAs attempt to assassinate Thatcher and ask if Corbyn was general secretary of the editorial board when it was written. He says no, he wasn't even a member, he just occasionally wrote for them. She says some dude's profile has him down as the general secretary, Corbyn says the dude is known for being incredibly inaccurate. She asks why Corbyn would write for the magazine if he disagreed with articles such as this. Corbyn says there are many papers he disagrees with, he even disagrees with some programs on her station, she might even disagree with them! But isnt that the point of journalism, to have an open debate? "Sometimes, listening to people you dont agree with does you good"

Backbench MP Jeremy Corbyn can now be held responsible for single-handedly preventing peace in Northern Ireland, as the Sun reports that 'without his support terrorist murders and torture would have ended much earlier'. All this time, and it turns out he was the key thing preventing the Catholics/Protestants and Republicans/Unionists from uniting and coming together in harmony.

This IRA poo poo really is all they've got, isn't it?

What he did not have, however, was any power to influence the peace. He was, after all, an insignificant backbencher.

Plus they already said everything they had to say on the matter. It's all been heard. It's not going to have the same impact for the thousandth time as May's dementia tax will for the hundredth.

I felt something vaguely hope-like earlier, but then I reminded myself that the papers will not play fair. If the race is looking close the Sun and others will print lie after lie in the last few crucial days. It won't matter that they're lies, Labour will lose and the papers will never be called to account for it.

I'm sure an ex-IRA killer turned police informant is a reliable source, and could never be convinced to say things that weren't entirely true for money.

Also hilarious that they are giving money to an actual confirmed IRA killer in order to demonstrate how bad the IRA were.

That sound you can hear is the goalposts shifting from "Labour are going to get destroyed" to "Labour aren't making any progress" to "Labour should be winning by more". Usually it takes longer than 24 hours, though.
