Corbyn, unelectable.

Trounced

 

[brogdale]

So, just 250 people on Twitter in Hartlepool, then?

 

[Doctor Carrot]

Oh dear! I'm more intrigued by Nick the flying brick's policies though.

 

[kebabking]

I do not disagree at all

But!!

As I said before, voting Tory should be illegal for anyone with a minor ounce of slight intelligence

Tory voters -- scum
Along with 'their' party, leaders, candidates, Johnsons

You are Labours Elections coordinator, and the Tories get Hartlepool....

Do you ever read the stuff you write on these threads and think 'i wonder what this would look like to someone in one of these constituencies who's still a bit fucked off with Labour...'?

Do you think they would read your words and think:

a) thanks William, you've put me right there.

b) you make good points, clearly I'm not bright enough to vote, and I shall stay at home while my betters decide such things.

c) who the fuck do you think you are, sneering cunt.

Answers on a postcard to: Losing Elections Section, PO box...

That's a very poor result for the NIP tbh.

• The Houses of Parliament will be relocated next to Hartlepool Marina.
• To halt the spread of new Covid variants all international travel will be by paddle boat.
• We will enrol the Victoria Arms darts team to speed up the pace of the vaccination program.
• Hartlepool Golf Club will be re-developed into an intergalactic space port.
• Visiting EU officials in trade talks with the UK will be required to wear a Darlington football strip. This will ruin their game.
• Return the British currency to pounds, shillings, pence, farthings and groats. Rural villages such as Hart can resume trade in shiny beads.
• The Official Monster Raving Loony Party would create fifty trillion pounds through quantitative easing and give all voters free lunch and complimentary drinks for ever.
• The Loony Party will issue 'looncoin' a crypto currency based on 'bitcoin' as a reserve currency in case the fifty trillion pounds quantitative easing doesn't work.
• All our remaining gold reserves will be placed on the last race at the Sedgefield Races in a bid to reduce the national debt.
• Coastal fishing will be made a spectator sport by introducing saltwater crocodiles into Hartlepool Bay.

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

Labour sources already saying they haven't changed enough, full steam ahead to the right

On BBC now he’s saying they haven’t become Tory enough.

I do wonder what "left twitter" tweeters think they are doing with their time when they tweet so much.

who is saying that? Sir Queef?

I've been looking for something to invest in lately. Looncoin sounds like the perfect vehicle. Thanks for the list

About what I would expect for them to be honest.

 

[Jeff Robinson]

Pretty satisfying seeing the Wahhabist candidate so roundly trashed, but the you remember that the vermin party won

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

No, a shadow something or other who hasn’t shaved for three days.

Not having a clue who these people are could be a clue as to how shit they have become...

 

[Winot]

So it turns out it’s not the economy, stupid. As long as you appeal to people’s cultural sense of themselves, they’ll vote for you.

the best results of the independents
ten times more votes than thelma walker

Hartlepudlian mum and businesswoman plans to stand in by-election.

Samantha Lee will be running as an Independent and says she's an alternative to the 'career politicians' aiming for the seat

Labour’s lost Harlow to the Tories as well. Going well so far...

Definitely
I follow this stuff and I couldn't tell you the name of a single member of the shadow cabinet

 

[andysays]

9.7% for an independent looks pretty respectable. Who are they?

her

 

[Doctor Carrot]

It's pretty despairing really. Not that I give a shit about labour just that people vote for that corrupt gibbering fuck wit who's piss poor handling of the pandemic has killed north of 150000 people.

Not only that but they elect a parachuted in candidate who's well in to dodgy tax stuff isn't she? They complain about labour parachuting in candidates then they vote for a parachuted in tory. This country is fucking bizarre.

 

[redsquirrel]

As shit as the current Shadow Cabinet is, the majority of people have never been able to recognise (Shadow) Cabinet members. The recognition of politicians, outside the PM, LoO and Chancellor, by the public has always been (very) low.

 

[BobDavis]

Don’t blame Labour. Blame the voters. Do you want to be part of a party that reflects the views of these voters ? I certainly don’t.

 

[tim]

Tories - 15,529

Labour - 8,589

LibDem - 349

Majority - 6,940

Excellent showing by the Lib Dems.

What did the whippet woman get?

 

[tim]

Don’t blame Labour. Blame the voters. Do you want to be part of a party that reflects the views of these voters ? I certainly don’t.

What pissed off folk living in the NorthEast? I wouldn't want to be in a party or at a party with a snobbish cunt like you.

 

[chilango]

Returning to the NIP...

Keeping their deposit was surely the target. 2-3% would've been ok. Beating the Lib Dems or the Greens (who had disastrous results) would've been something.

So, yeah, poor showing. Be interesting to see how their local council candidates have done.

Always on hand with his Blut und Boden analysis...

Im curious to know how much actual campaigning they did - and I dont mean Twitter.
Im sure Thelma walked around, but did ex Momentum do a lot beyond come up with memes?
