Amazing. Even the BBC is focusing on a Tory MP sabotaging a rape trial and emphasised Watson saying it was for personal reasons. Get the feeling the Press are going to look for every little thing and go with that as the front page against anything Boris does.

Big who cares about the papers. If Watson hadn't quit they'd have gone front-page with Johnson's amazing speech and spectacular vision for Britain. Watson did us a favour quitting in the middle of the Tory launch. This way he pulls attention from something positive they were doing instead of from Labour. He even made very clear it was for personal reasons on TV too, so it's an easy answer for any Labour MPs questioned about it in interviews.

When they say Boris is "channeling Churchill", do they mean he's channeling the Churchill of 1945 who lost in a landslide defeat against Attlee, considered one of the best Labour governments ever? Because I'm fine with him channeling Churchill if that's the case

Bottom line though, Watson quitting is great news. It removes the Labour right from basically any position of power. So if the election goes horribly wrong and Corbyn steps down (which I think he will if he loses, guy has done more than enough for the movement), then we're still in the great position of having a whole range of left-wing MPs to fill the leader and deputy leader posts to continue Labour as a socialist party. The so-called 'moderates' will be nowhere. If there was a time to erect the 'We Won' sign for the Left, at least regarding the battle for the Labour party, it's now.

Watson was once merely good by being better than the Blairites. But he failed to see the sands shifting under him until it was too late. He could have been a useful asset for Corbyn, but allied himself with the wrong camp early on and wouldn't and couldn't reverse gear. Shame really, i did some work on his snoopers charter legal challenge in 2015 and he seemed personable enough.

Genuinely surprised how many people on twitter are still defending Chris Williamson. I mean he's running against Labour now seemingly out of spite, and he couldn't even write his resignation letter without accusing the entire Jewish Labour Movement of being controlled by Israel and trying to get Jennie Formby in trouble with the PLP by revealing what she said to him in a private conversation. It's childish, and it shows he's learned absolutely nothing from being suspended.

Ratjaculation posted:Why is it when I see any mention of a pedo-hunter group in the news I assume there is a high probability they are actual pedos? They always come across to me as nasty bullies who believe they've hit on the genius idea of targeting a group of people that they can threaten and beat up and get praised for it (the number of times they end up in court for assult and threats would seem to argue against this). If they weren't "pedo hunting", they'd be beating up opposing football fans or starting on people in pubs.

Lady Galaga posted:What the heck are these parties gonna do that's better and more democratic than a referendum on Brexit in 6 months?? Well, what they think will happen is that if Labour will they will canvas for their leave deal in the referendum, the Tories will gallumph along trying to get no deal (or shoehorn hard brexit clauses into the referendum) and remain will be hosed since no one with any money, power or influence will push for it. So from the way they read the tea-leaves remain is hosed if it comes down to a Labour initiated referendum. If you think that leaving the EU is one of the dumbest things the UK has tried to do, even with a closer relationship than the Tories would ever countenance, then trying to find some way to avoid it is rational. Of course, if the Tories win it is good night sweet prince for everyone.

Good morning all. As I do my bleary eyed pre-work trawl of the internet just look at this steaming pile of  quote:Even if Labour has the numbers to form a coalition government, I could see him failing to become PM. So many Labour MPs (even accounting for those who've abandoned the party or are stepping down) absolutely loathe him - would they actually back Corbyn as PM if they have a Labour alternative? What if the Lib Dems make "not Corbyn" a prerequisite for their support, and it's either this or rely on the SNP (which would surely lead to electoral disaster in the next election, especially if the Nats held and won indyref 2).

The lib dems got next to nothing in that seat so if that's the one then it's hard to see what they're getting out of it. (Also shocked and appalled that a google search for just "Brighton Pavillion" returns only results about the pavillion in brighton, as if they expect me to be some kind of normal human person that cares more about culture and architecture than obsessing over political nerdery) Angepain fucked around with this message at 09:07 on Nov 7, 2019 |
