Knighthoods are for services to the Tory party, and nobody else has done as much for it as Nick Clegg.

it's really unfortunate that motion for Breivik being mental didn't go through, we could argue all nazis are mental with legal precedent

Isn't Corbyn of the same generation? Because Corbyn makes a good number 2 or 3.

UrbicaMortis posted: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. Abi fair enough, she's left wing in a pretty vague sense and hasn't pretended otherwise. Owen Jones, on the other hand, has spent his entire career pushing the idea that the path to socialism in Britain is through the Labour left. But apparently he never considered that a leftist Labour party would encounter hostility from within and without. And despite being a supposedly committed socialist, he never considered that maybe joining that hostile chorus and attacking an already beleaguered leftist leadership wasn't helping advance his cause.

I don't recall Jones ever attacking Corbyn on matters of policy, just on the absolute loving shambles that was his press handling in at least the first year of his leadership. Trying to pretend everything is hunky dory when - to take just one example out of dozens - Corbyn manages to not only piss away the massive open goal the Tories gave him with their infighting over calling an early election but actually turned the story into one about his incompetence by accusing a journalist of harassment and then hiding behind a glass door ultimately does far more harm both to Corbyn and the idea of a leftist renaissance in Labour, something that is considerably bigger than just one pleasant bearded man.

I don't think the extremely unsurprising fact that the socialist who half the party were briefing against wasn't immediately equipped to deal with the media as expertly as other politicians is justification for essentially giving up on the Labour left. Corbyn didn't need Jones' Legitimate Concern handwringing to realise his media handling was poo poo or that his leadership was embattled, he needed time. Jones writing poo poo like this less than a year into his leadership wasn't remotely going to result in any improvement, it just added to the pressure to resign at a crucial moment. I'm not saying Jones should have written effusive praise about Corbyn at his lowest points, I'm saying he could have shut the gently caress up.
