One of my few Tory friends on Facebook claims that Labour is now clearly the new nasty party. His evidence?

"If someone posts something meaningless like 'Corbyn is a legend', they get 100s of likes. If I post 'May is a legend', I get very few likes and lots of mockery."

When I post true things, people tell me they are true. When I post false things, people tell me they are false. This is terrible and must end.

I was too young (like, 10-11) to really notice when Blair's Labour started their rise and eventually came to power, was the press as right wing and angry about it as they are about the prospect of a Labour government now?

The Sun supported Blair, with the stated caveat that it couldn't back certain awful New Labour policies like the minimum wage and devolution.

those both look awful

here's a hint: maybe don't put the union flag or any other flag in it because the aspect ratio makes it look like butt

just get a picture of corbyn in it which is suitably funny and make his eye animate or something like that to make it seem more alive

Yeah, you're right, they're too dark, I used dumb noise effects and UJ isn't a good scaling flag.

On the politics and age thing, I think the research shows you set in your political beliefs around 30 - So you can come out of Uni a lefty and change back quite quickly, but if you stay labour-supporting for another 5 years you most likely will for life. Same the other way. This is why Corbyns lead in the 25-34 group is as important as the 18-24 - the 25-34 group are more likely to be consistent labour as long as the Labour party stays on the left.

I half expected this too, but it's not gonna happen. Anyone offering themselves up as leader is basically claiming "I would have won it."

Given that Corbynistas always yapped about how Corbyn's goal wasn't winning a governing majority(and he didn't) but rather changing the party(he did, Labour neoliberalism is dead), and given that his overperformance in the election guarantees that there will be enough lefty MPs to ensure that there will be lefty options on the leadership ballot next time round(which had been in doubt), then you could make a case for Corbyn stepping down after anointing a successor who shares his commitment to social democratic politics and economic populism but who lacks his particular liabilities and connections to fringe figures and movements. Why let Corbyn's agenda be dragged down by his "We salute Comrade Chavez and our friends Hamas and Hezbollah, Trump-esque NATO/Russia policy, ooh ah up the RA" bits? It's the possibility of Corbyn as PM that will keep the DUP in the coalition no matter what comes.

Personally I don't think it should come to that just quite yet, but there's a decent case to be made for it as we think on how to actually win the next election rather than losing surprisingly well.

Gum posted:

I've heard him described as a small-c conservative but not from the horses mouth

I think he's one of those "classical liberal" types before that term was poisoned by the alt-right - if you look at the documentaries he's made for the Beeb, he's an admirer of Victorian reformers but nervous/dismissive of self-organised workers rights movements. Basically his politics are about 150 years out of date, but that's probably not a bad stance for someone seeking to hold the powerful to account because he really doesn't fall anywhere on the modern political spectrum.
