Let's hope they tow the line . And don't mess things up
Jeremy Corbyn - Not Not Labour Party(?), not a Communist (BBC)
- Thread starter unchanged_lineup
- Start date
Jeremy Corbyn just told the House of Commons that Labour was prepared to offer "strong and stable leadership in the national interest
Corbyn teasing May - 'we all look forward to welcoming the Queen's speech as soon as the coalition of chaos is ready'
Jezza's having a blast.

Jezza's having a blast.Very disappointed that Corbyn didn't enter the House of Commons to 'Voodoo Chile' whilst playing air guitar.
It's a broad church alright. I think Brown was an excellent chancellor.
That'd be self destructive, he can't whip the PLP to vote on party without consent.
Tow what line? It's not dictatorship where Corbyn decides policy and everyone else follows mindlessly they'd be creating policy alongside him. He's going to have to comprimise and consult.
What policies will they bring to the table
I'd imagine more centrist and european centric ones. The real strength they'd bring to the table though would be campaigning and debating on issues in the news media. Before the election campaign Labour were doing a shocking job of putting it's message across.
Currently the only quality public speaker and debator in the shadow cabinet beside Corbyn is Emily Thornberry. He needs a much stronger team if he's going to influence public opinion.
That is what got Labour into trouble in the first place .Centrist needs to realise that it's ideas are dead and no amount of spin doctors and think tanks will change that. As for news media their influence in politics as proven to be ineffective and are on the wane. Politics as changed and the sooner the PLP sees that the better if not form another party.
Wot
Except it's the only strategy that has seen Labour seize power. Simply put many don't trust Labour to implement huge spending plans without: A) putting the country in huge debts B) increasing taxes.
My dad voted Labour numerous times and voted remain but after the recession he hasn't trusted them with the economy and deficit to vote for them since. He's been close to backing them because of the NHS and Schools but he simply thinks they'll overspend and mismanage everything. It's a valid concern.
And there's things that show they don't give a feck about A) Increasing national debt B) Increasing national debt. IE pay 50k for as many students as possible to get worthless degrees in fashion and media studies with a couple of Es at A Level as possible. As a liberal and left winger I can't accept that utterly stupid stance, so why should I expect the electerate to do so? I'm happy to subsidise worthwhile degrees like Medicine, Engineering, Accountancy, Law but feck off paying for the toilet studies.
Corbyn needs to convince and promise people that he won't piss public money away left right and centre while having a sensible talented group of PLPs working for him. The current cabinet of drop outs will never achieve that.
Everyone loves a winner.
Or a plucky loser.

Yeah, it's amazing isn't it. He lost the election convincingly but he's some sort of national hero in the eyes of a few. Anyone can promise the world if they know they won't have to actually deliver.
Convincingly? He was dead in the water a few weeks a go and turned it round, robbing the Tories of their majority, picking up dozens of seats, galvanised the youth vote to unprecedented levels and helped Labour achieve their highest vote share in decades. As for not having to deliver - he was a few marginal seats away from potentially becoming PM, and could feasibly become future PM assuming the Tories carry on their path to self-destruction.
Most of those cnuts were busy stabbing him in the back not long ago. Funny how winning works. Haven't seen Sadiq kiss his shoes yet but its only a matter of time too.
I must have missed the winning bit.
Theresa May won. You can tell by how happy her party is.
I'm just a silly traditionalist I'm afraid, I look at the voting percentage and number of MPs.
I suspect whoever won and had to deal with Brexit would be wishing they hadn't to be honest. Apart from David Davis maybe, who does seem insanely happy. He might actually be insane, it would explain a lot.

Yup, even if we got a miraculous deal on Brexit the majority of the country will be unhappy with it.
And this is why we feel rather chuffed.
She's on a hiding to nothing, made worse by her own doing, and the likelihood is her party cannot avoid another election soon. That if Labour win we get to use the Tory card of 'we inherited a mess' for quite a while.
Being out of the EU means a deregulation bonanza, which is music to Tory ears. They want small government and for the City to become even more of an offshore goliath so that it doesn't matter if Britain no longer manufactures or exports to any great degree, it'll still be a player on the world stage.
Imperialism didn't stop, it just changed lanes.

Lord Sainsbury has said he'll stop donating to Progress and focus on charitable causes. What a shame
Maybe Michael Foster will fill the funding gap. Though after he got less votes in his attempt to oust Corbyn than a Fish Finger got trying to beat Tim Farron (208 to 309), I'm not sure he'll want to show his face for a while.
It's happening, isn't it?
God knows how it's gonna work but given the current situation clearly isn't working and the national mood has dramatically shifted, it's gonna have to.
