I mean I feel like they're somewhat right in the sense that this is really the best shot for radical leftists in Labour. There really isn't anyone to blame but Corbyn if Labour loses.

Skwawk sounds like it wants to blame John McDonnell already...

Not saying that as an attack on Labour, but I have little patience for people who will try to re-litigate this election in the coming years by blaming it on the media or Farage or whatever if Labour loses.

The left should really appreciate the importance of this election, it's either now or never.

Its a matter of messaging. Milliband was 'the left' in 2015 and I voted Labour then but wouldn't now.

Wait you're not voting Labour?

quote:

The first Sunday of the election campaign, and as you expect, several polls in the Sunday papers:

The Telegraph have a poll from ORB. Topline figures are CON 36%, LAB 28%, LDEM 14%, BREX 12%. Fieldwork was Wednesday and Thursday. While they’ve published some trackers on support for Brexit, the last time I recall seeing a voting intention poll from ORB was back in April, so changes here aren’t really relevant.

ComRes in the Sunday Express have topline figures of CON 36%(+3), LAB 28%(-1), LDEM 17%(-1), BREX 10%(-2). Fieldwork was Wednesday and Thursday, with changes from mid-October, at the time of Johnson’s deal.

The regular Opinium poll for the Observer has topline figures of CON 42%(+2), LAB 26%(+2), LDEM 16%(+1), BREX 9%(-1), GRN 2%(-1). Fieldwork was Thursday and Friday, and changes are from last week.

YouGov in the Sunday Times has topline figures of CON 39%(+3), LAB 27%(+6), LDEM 16%(-2), BREX 7%(-6). Fieldwork was Thursday and Friday, with changes from midweek.

Finally, Deltapoll in the Mail on Sunday (they’ll be running weekly polls for them for the campaign) have topline figures of CON 40%(+3), LAB 28%(+4), LDEM 14%(-5), BREX 11%(nc). Fieldwork was Thursday to Saturday, with changes from mid-October, just after Johnson’s deal.

Are you guys reading something I'm not? Tories still have as high as a 16% lead.

David Blunkett went from being a hard left leader of the Sheffield City Council to being a neoliberal hack for New Labour in less than ten years what the gently caress happened?

I know people mellow out with their radical politics as they age (except for Tony Benn) but the transformation of these New Labour types from the hard left days of the 80s to the neoliberal consensus of the 90s is disturbing.

Yes, I don't think people understand what's at stake here. If Labour doesn't win, that's it for Britain. It'll become a neoliberal police state like Pinochet's Chile.

She's alright but you have to go into it accepting that she's a very posh lady and her comedy reflects that. Fleabag had some great moments but lol at her cliche highly strung 'successful' sister randomly discussing her multi-million pound bonus as if that's a normal thing people do while she owns a trendy upmarket coffee shop and is extremely comfortable but this is somehow depicted as failure.

Who the gently caress wants to watch posh Brits outside of upper middle class Americans?

Also I loved the episode where her sister is complaining that she can be funny and make jokes to her boss and she doesn't need Fleabag to do it for her I'm like drat you rich people really have to pick at straws to find things to complain about.

I have read both these articles and the mind reels and boggles, barely able and utterly unwilling to take in the information presented.

The trite thing to say would be this woman is bonkers, and I'm trying not to because I know some people with mental illness consider it damaging to use it as such shorthand; but it doesn't matter here as this goes far beyond mere mental disturbance, and would slander us honest bedlamites. It's like she's from an entirely alien reality where every single thing about human psychology, childhood development, and even the simple definition of "kindness" are vastly, incomprehensibly different. It isn't even 'opposite', it's all entirely unmoored from any frame of reference.

This is what happens when young people watch too many Victorian period dramas.

Besides, education below the age of 17 shouldn't be taken seriously anyway. It has almost zero bearing on how well you do in adult life.

LMAO nothing Labour does to help social progress counts.

Selecting a record number of candidates of colour? Oh well it just shows how much work has to be done cuz the TORIES haven't selected as many.

It's like whatever fuckstick at the BBC said that Tory policy was Labour's fault for not highlighting it in opposition, as if there was any chance in the last three years to pivot to something other than Brexit.

Regardless, Labour is done if they don't close the gap after the debate and manifesto launch.

Not even the broadband announcement has narrowed the gap. Commentators on UK polling report says Labour is finished.
