Abi is good people. Also I totally get it. I was 100% one of the pantywetters during that rough first year of Corbyn. Turns out my pessimism was embarrassingly wrong. I still thought he was the best man for the job but I was doubtful he could survive with the PLP in open rebellion and then the membership would get beaten down, bail and go back to disengaging from the political process.

Pretty happy I overstated the competence of the Labour right and clearly I underestimated how cool and dedicated the new members are.

Yeah, I don't really get giving people like Abi or Owen jones, who clearly support good policies, for writing stuff early in Corbyn's leadership that was pessimistic. Things were going pretty badly at one point and there wasn't any reason to think he would get the election result he got. Even Corbyn didn't think he would.

I don't really want blind loyalty from left-wing writers.

I mean during Cobyn's first year in office it was exhausting how much the Labour right were trying to undermine and betray him.

It was pretty good when Simon Danczuk was the loudest anti-Corbyn guy and then his wife left him for her coach at the gym and he got suspended and then expelled from the Labour Party for macking on questionably aged girls.

What is going wrong with that one (face is longer than it should be)
Pessimism about Corbyn's chances back in the dark days is fine, it all looked pretty bleak pretty often. It's when people started giving Owen Smith(? is that his name?) the eye and saying 'I hate to say it, I really do, but maybe we need to start considing being sensible...', that's the gulag worthy stuff.

If you did not spend time lamenting both Corbyn's ineffectiveness (remembering if we can that a few weeks before the general, Labour lost control of pretty much every local government in one fell swoop) but also the sheer loving stupidity of the PLP's attempt to unseat him by way of a hypocritical-about-women dick pill salesman right when the Conservatives were self destructing then you are not a truly disciplined Labour supporter.

TBH even after that council rout I was still with him, just nervously.

I will admit going "oh loving hell" when May announced the snap general election but even then I looked at his polling and went "the only way is up" and hoped that he'd somehow pull a miracle out of his beard and by gently caress did he manage it... albeit not enough to win a majority but given his starting point the end result was amazing.

I thought it was curtains too, though I had no regrets - go down swinging, and all that. Went to bed early because I couldn't bear the strain and tension of watching the exit polls live.

The next morning was loving unbelievable. Very shortly afterwards someone linked this and it made me laugh myself silly
