Former Tory election agent turned police commissioner wants people with firearms licences to be able to help the police against terrorist attacks in rural areas.

so, conspiracy theory time. the point at which the corbyn campaign stopped pathetically floundering and started making sudden and utterly unexpected gains was not the manifesto was published, but when the manifesto was leaked. this, which most people assumed was done by someone trying to sabotage corbyn, had a huge impact: first, it was adequately radical that it made the news: policies that were extreme one day were being discussed the next, even if it was in a "what an extreme idea!" context. second, it saved corbyn an embarrassing, in-fight laden conference on these radical proposals: he would have had to spend tons of his (virtually nonexistent) political capital to get these things passed: instead, they had to be passed, they had defacto been promised. people talked about them there had been commitariat think pieces digesting them, they were literally front page news.

that is a really, really good leak. that's the political equivalent of an ex-girlfriend telling everyone you've got a gigantic cock- sure, it's embarrassing for a moment, but once that dust clears- is it all that bad?

All the good poo poo started happening after James Schneider took over as chief of strategy or whatever his job is.
