Drone_Fragger posted:David Cameron at least recognised that failing to talk to people in interviews is not infact seen as a sign of strengh by the public, but rather, a sign of terminal cowardice. The real strong and brave thing to do is, of course, politely listen to the question, start a sentence using some of the words in the question so it sounds like you were listening, and then list a series of soundbites and abruptly walk away before they can get out a follow-up. Which at least looks better.

CoolCab posted:This The best thing about Woodcock is that he was convinced he was going to lose, so he had a film crew follow him around to document his loss, had an interview booked on election night to attribute his loss (and the huge election defeat) entirely to Corbyn, and then he won. Probably in no small part thanks to Momentum campaigning for him. His credibility is now non-existent, and he knows it.

oath2order posted:It's kind of crazy to me that the House of Lords is an unelected check on conservatism. I would think it would end up being mostly composed of rich autocrats that mostly just want more money. It's rather remarkable when there are people in the Chamber who actually believe in the historical duty and responsibility of the Lord's. Life is strange.

Funny the things that stick out in your memory as time goes by. I remember most vividly thinking Cameron was a very bad and lovely man indeed every time he talked about his dead son to get out of having to answer questions about the NHS.

I cannot describe how happy it makes me to see Kensington in particular go red. I never thought I'd ever see the day. My grandmother's house is there and I stay there whenever I'm in London. It's the last place you'd ever think would vote Labour. One of my good friends is actually from there, and voted Labour. His vote mattered.

He most likely believes that being a huge dick to Corbyn was the only thing that kept the Trident jobs bloc onside, and found out that Momentum will campaign for him for the left vote regardless of the nonsense he spouts, and can literally say things that should under Labour bylaws have him ejected from the party with no consequence. He's about as harmless as a radium enema.

jBrereton posted:In a shock move, Jeremy Corbyn plans to oust Theresa May by running in the upcoming Tory leadership race. With a 400:1 chance, can he do it? Corbyn wanting to run a minority government right now sounds like a pretty dumb idea when he can just wait six months for the tories to dig their own mass grave and then win the inevitable early election. It'd be feasible if he had the numbers for a labour and friends majority, but if he was running a minority government the tories would just vote down all his policies and then crow in the media about how this is proof that socialism doesn't work.

jabby posted:The difference now is that he can spout off all he wants. Everyone knows his attacks on Corbyn are bullshit and everyone knows it's only by the grace of Corbyn supporters that he kept his seat. I really want you to examine that last sentence. Do you think the narrative that the press will push is "Woodcock saved by grassroots activism" or "Woodcock saved because of his turn against Corbyn"? Or, in a broader sense, do you think they'll push either and instead just present him as "Labour MP who only marginally held his seat John Woodcock" or much more likely "Sources within the Labour party say..." quote:In reality there have always been individual backbench MPs who don't back the leader (Corbyn was one of them) the only difference with Woodcock is how vocal he was and how eager the press was to lap it up. That difference is still absolutely true.

The whole point is that we want a leader who isn't going to go "welp this Brexit thing looks a bit tricky, why don't we let the other people gently caress it up because of how weak they are, and leave the country utterly buggered". That's the point of Corbyn, he's a decent human being.
