I'm ambivalent about Corbyn, I guess his persistent habit of prevarication (being unable to denounce the IRA without also denouncing loyalist groups, being unable to denounce antisemitism without also denouncing all other racism, etc) hits me the same way the immigration cup hit lots of you. Which I still think is stupid, Ed's immigration policy was more open than Corbyn's is now, but nevermind. I do take the point that Corbyn has enthused and inspired people in a way that most PLP candidates couldn't. We will see if it actually shakes out that way, of course.

I mean, I gotta say I think Corbs is 100% correct here.

I think anything other than a significant increase in the Tory majority will leave May's position untenable, as the largest unforced error in UK political history.

Brexit will probably be regarded in the long one as a bigger self-own.

Scrappy underdog JC coming from behind to win the most unwinable election only to have to deal with Brexit, probably beating that.

gently caress me hope really is a lie isn't it. There's basically no good that can come of any of this. (apart from a hopeful realignment of Labour back to being a left-wing party.)

Why didn't Johnson run for leader last time? I recall him looking like the heir appointed at one stage.

He was running, then bottled it when he realised it was something resembling hard work.

Well obviously it would be a confidence and supply arrangement.

Also just for one second imagine the media shitstorn is Sinn Fein decided to break precedent and pop round to Westminster just to vote confidence in Corbyn then buggered off again. I would never stop laughing. I mean it's not going to happen but if any potential PM could inspire that it would be him, given his general sympathy to Irish republicanism.

Between that and the duck tweets I think it would qualify Gerry Adams as The Boy.

Libdem are anti-Brexit vs Tory Hard Brexit "no deal is a good deal". Those two positions will be hard to reconcile.

Doesn't matter though as May will have a 100+ majority.

They were anti student fee increases as well and look how that evaporated with the faint whiff of power.

I'm just brushing up on my (recent) history of the 2010 UK government formation. So... is it accurate that the Lib Dems prioritized a coalition with the Tories not because of ideological overlap or policy objectives, but just because the Tories had the most seats? Was that considered a noble position to take as King-makers?
