The idea that the Tories abandoning austerity would put "tanks on Labour's lawn" seems a bit silly. It points far more questions at the Tories

i) Was austerity a mistake?
ii) Why stop it now?
iii) Why are you not going as far as comrade Corbyn?
iv) How will we balance the books / pay off the national credit card?

If you stick to a bullshit meme narrative you have to see it through. This won't work for the same reason Labour's "controls on immigration" didn't work, nobody wants you to be the light version of the other party.

Plus their definition of "ending austerity" is most likely "all right, all right, we'll keep the triple lock and more policemen". They are ideologically committed to reducing the state: Hunt is still in loving Health.

You say powerless, but what kind of result could we have seen if they weren't so vehemently anti-Corbyn? True enough that they lack the sway to win it, but there was still significant damage done.

It's harsh, but half a million voters living almost exclusively in safe Labour seats (apart from when Galloway and his postal votes are in town) are not really an electoral factor.

Lol what's the plan here, ring up Farmer John to ride over on his brand new combine 'arvester, shotgun under his arm, and blast terrorists in The Crown And Lion? Or maybe it's a plan to replace fox hunting?

Granted I have suspected that a terrorist attack on a village pub on a sleepy Sunday afternoon has the potential to have more influence than ones on cities, but modern terrorism is far too bombastic and in need of high profile targets in major cities to do that.

I like the deputy's response basically being "if you try to fight the terrorists with your guns, we'll probably shoot you".

Yes I think this attitude that the frothing right-wing papers have no sway any more is quite dangerous, if it wasn't for them Corbyn would be PM right now, no question. They've poisoned a huge amount of people against Corbyn (see that Guardian video the evening of the election where people were literally parroting Tory slogans about strong and stable May vs. IRA loving Corbyn) and given what people are like that's probably going to stick. Let's not take it for granted that young people are going to turn out to vote to counteract this. Though the narrative is obviously breaking down a bit with all the poo poo that the Tories are smearing themselves with right now, which helps.

As a PM non-haver I would appreciate it if I could be inducted into the Order of the Jam Man, thanks :)
