the article from the dude is this one, worth taking with a grain of salt cause hes kinda a melty dude but he seems to be an economic lefty who just wants to end neoliberalism and libertarianism's hold over the UK economy. its also probably the time hes most pissed off with corbyn and he reconciles a little later, though never comes back to advise policy.
plus its from 2016 so some stuff may have come back later.

https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2016/07/17/the-rise-and-fall-of-corbyns-economics/


its all gonna be controversial but obviously point 1 is my bugbear that i've rambled on about since it happened. but the third and fourth points are something you do see coming up again and again in critiquies of the corbyn crew by people who worked with them. that they just don't communicate effectively or just straight up blank people and that its more about messaging to the fans than doing things.
I think its entirely possible they actually alienated the not insanely hostile chunk of the PLP just by being like this, you got a lot of MPs over time saying theyd gone to the leadership with concerns and got absolute silence back.

for me its actually stuff like this i look back on as the failures, not a failure to give "big john" a machine gun and go around slaying blairites, though that woulda been good to watch too

Aren't points three and four there the kind of thing that was described in the report into the internal sabotage that was going on? Like the leaders office would issue a statement and then the comms dept would lose it down the back of the sofa instead of providing it to the media?

I can't remember and it doesn't matter anymore because the right have turned out to even more powerful at sabotaging themselves so who gives a gently caress, and it doesn't change the first point he makes, but still that might not be fair to put on the plate of Corbyn

I suppose one could say he should have done a nice big purge but as others have stated more eloquently in recent posts he isn't really the type. Plus even if he had purged Tom Watson & his ilk they would still have been in the newspapers every day except now whining about how Jeremy is pol pot and everyone is going to the gulag and he's going to personally build a skull tower

I've come around to the idea of insulation being the key sticking point because it's so obviously an easy win with essentially zero downsides and a very quick payback period so if we won't even do that, what hope do we have for actually doing anything harder

There's literally no way this country could do it. The most likely outcome is that some friend of a minister would set up a company that six days later is given fifty billion, delivers nothing, and gets to keep all the money anyway. Even if they accidentally gave it to someone who planned to try, we would not be able to manufacture/import the insulating materials, or distribute them, or hire, organise & train installers.

The Victorians were able to build a sewerage system from nothing. 150 years of technology development later and we apparently can't replace it. We literally cannot dig a hole for a pipe, because it is more profitable to make the poors wallow in filth. Worth keeping in mind for next time some technology solution is proposed for the ongoing biosphere collapse: We can't dig a loving hole.

maybe I'm just jaded but who gives a poo poo about this party now vs the hundreds of other things they've done and lied about. seems to me that the press, half of whom were there, know this is the kind of issue people forget about within a week

Its absolutely hilarious that we are supposed to believe that no journalists were there or knew about it for a whole year and it was kept a perfect flawless secret the entire time and then all of a sudden everyone knows about it and there is a video. Its so transparently obvious that the goal is to completely prevent any possibility of a Christmas lockdown in the face of omicron. I hope the crematoriums are well stocked for fuel because Jan/Feb is going to be quite something
