She claimed in the past that she's working class, or at least her mother was by stint of her grandfather working on the docks. Not only did she get to view poor's from a distance but someone in her family was once poor!

Currently trying to explain in crayon to melts on Facebook why it's not outrageous for the leader of the opposition, the second largest party in the house, to suggest that he should lead the unity government rather than an 80 year old Tory and a Blairite.

I think they just want to have power. Ask why it should be the other folks and not Corbyn, if it doesn't matter who heads it why would you care so much about Corbyn leading it?

Exactly. There's no even remotely reasonable argument for why Corbs should be unacceptable as a supposedly powerless one-issue caretaker PM but somebody else would be fine. It makes zero sense in any way and it's why the lib dem posturing will fail even harder than it's done already.

Italy is dragging the euro down. Unexpected rise in uk inflation, better job data (even though its surely lies). Some people say an inevitable snapback after prior extreme positioning against the pound although also...

bbc and ing posted:

Meanwhile, it is broadly flat on the euro at €1.0765 but banking group ING reckons that the pound could hit 95p against the euro during the third quarter.

So basically no idea. Also UK comic con has been cancelled because they can't afford to pay for all the hollywood people to come over now the pound is so poo poo.

I think it actually stopped them. Pointing out that Corbyn is the person who is supposed to be doing this put the burden of proof on them as to why it should be someone else, so they've gone quiet.

Previously they had said that they'd rather Blair negotiate it than Corbyn. :psyduck:

Judging by FBPE twitter it seems worryingly to make just enough sense for melts to latch on to it.

I grew up on the actual estate in one of the most socially deprived areas in be (?) country, although due to the factors of the time there were still a fair few Tories with uPVC windows and new Ford Escorts going on about their taxes. That she assumes it's all homogenous proles in cloth caps and bombed out housing with no indoor plumbing just proves her only interaction was peering suspiciously over the fence.

It's always been a paper-thin mask. When the only thing you actually believe is "I loving hate Corbyn and what he represents", they will quite happily pivot to whatever position allows that to continue. Even if they've set themselves up as an Ultra #FBPE.

The fact that the two strands of "Secret Nandos Leaver Corbyn (who hates Jews)", and "Stop No Deal at any cost" have now collided, and Corbyn now represents the best way to prevent No Deal, means they have to show their true colours :lol:

We have no compassion and we ask no compassion from you. When our turn comes, we shall not make excuses for the terror.
No these people really seem to have swallowed their own 'Corbyn is an :supaburn: A N T I S E M I T E :supaburn: and is also a ruthless authoritarian' bullshit wholesale, despite his personal history showing that he's the exact opposite. It's genuinely very baffling, it's like they heard 'attack their strengths' and really went for it so hard they ended up forgetting it was a smear campaign. I'd really like to read an analysis on these types honestly, because they do seem to genuinely believe it now, rather than just cynically using spurious allegations.

Also his headline picture is his young kids oops.

A quick google reveals that during leveson he had maybe tried to buy stolen medical records of cheryl cole having a boob job but it turned out to be a sting so he said he never meant it.

It's strange that he only went full antisemite after becoming leader though, most antisemitic party leaders are fairly open with the Judenhass far earlier, even making it a core part of their rise.

I'm the normal one.

You hate ridden fucks will regret your words when you eventually grow up.

Peace.
the thing about hard remainers is that they are single-issuers, so any amount of vacillating is acceptable if ultimately the single issue is delivered

so, you should fully expect a great deal of bluffing until the day the Commons actually expresses confidence in a new government - on that day, any Remain party/rebel will not see any punishment for saying "given new assurances by JC I have now changed my mind" from remainers, as long as JC does appear to not altering Labour strategy on the fly (and remember, promises to be a time-limited caretaker PM have no legal force whatsoever). So they may as well try for something better in the meanwhile. The first step of actually passing a VONC hasn't even occurred yet

still, realism at this point would require recognizing that the Commons has thrice demonstrated itself capable of a majority disapproving of some course on Brexit but not in favour of any other course, so the comedy option of simply failing to form a government (and hence going to the ballot box by default, and relying on the generosity of the EU negotiators to extend even beyond the final final deadline, like the most petulant naughty schoolchild) remains a plausible one

He's also the worst antisemite, having presided over a drop in antisemitic opinions among party membership. Maybe that's why they think he'd be such a bad PM, can't even follow through on his own racism smh
