Corbyn & Cabinet in the Media

pisspoor. he's had every opportunity over the past fpur months to lay out his views on welfare. he was rightly celebrated for coming out with ideas rather than redponding to personal attacks. so to say he's only had three days to come out with policies is rubbish.
 
Wears and tie and smartens up = gets a make-over and spin doctor the hypocrite.
Stays informal and loosens his tie = scruffy, careless and unfit for government.

Sings the national anthem = gives up on his life long views now he's got a sniff of power.
Doesn't sing the national anthem = traitor to the dear and loved Royal Family.

I suspect we might see a bit more of this 'damned if you do, damned if you don't' in the coming months/years.

One good thing that's come out of this so far is that I really hope it's shown the media for the scum they are to a whole load of new people. And especially you, The Guardian, you fucking scumfucking establishment pricks.

The response your one liner merited. Don't act a twat.

Anyway, I'm still willing to wait and see, even if you include the campaign as policy building time despite the lack of a shadow cabinet or access to the democratising mechanisms he's supposed to be using to create policy now. A signal of intent to resist and defend is, I think, a fair enough start. What comes next is what I'll judge.
 
Hey, Guardian reporters there are a shit load of us on here that don't sing the Liz song either, you scabbing Tory bastards!

Playing catch up so apologies if this has already been covered, but just caught this BuzzFeed article (I know...) on Facebook.

However, when contacted by BuzzFeed News, Gordon distanced himself from the story and said his quote had nothing to do with Short money, the term for the public funding opposition parties receive.

“My reasoning that refusal of a place [on the Privy Council] could (the word I allowed to be cited) raise constitutional issues was not related to Short money,” he wrote in an email (emphasis his). “It was based on the constitutional relationship between the monarchy and main political party as the official opposition.”

Instead, the issues Gordon said could be raised by a refusal to join the council related to the constitutional relationship between the opposition and the crown.

“However, I have little doubt that in the longer term and in practice that relationship could be changed,” he continued, “which was why in the phrase I allowed to be quoted I suggested that the issues if they arose would be ‘short-term’.”

In a statement on Tuesday lunchtime, The Sun stood by its story.

“Our story asserted that there would have been a constitutional crisis in the event that Jeremy Corbyn had refused to be a member of the Privy Council. This was confirmed by a QC, who we quoted accurately,” said a spokesperson.

“If he had refused to be a Privy Councillor, Corbyn would have been unable to be a fully serving Leader of Her Majesty’s Most Loyal Opposition. There would have been a huge debate about his ability to carry out the job, and the funding allocated to both his Office and his Party would have been legitimately brought into question.

“The story stands.”
 
Prolly Toynbee leaves her lavish lifestyle behind for a few weeks, not touching or accessing her fortune while she writes a book on how poor life is for those at the bottom in Hard Work, which I am sure has added to the adornment of Toynbee towers!
The standout example of being poor is according to her having to use the laces out of her Doc Martens to hang towels over for curtains!!
Yea so real world Prolly!
 
but no mention of the disabled, unemployed or other people who are, or who should be, in receipt of benefits. aren't they the most obvious 'stakeholders'?
well, many of them will be members of unions, or even the party itself. It still has a disabled caucus, iirr
