Ran a children's home

That tricky third solo album clearly proving troublesome for Jarvis Cocker

Typical Corbynesque bullying behaviour to welcome her back with open arms

The graun has decided that this is a bigger news story than Champion returning to the shadow cabinet.

Currently 5th story with champion story buried down the page within the 'politics live' blog.

It's about the NEC vote. If the softies control the machinery we have to hope the PLP gets loyal or splits (or a mix); I hope the dynesties jump first, lemming like. This is assuming the leadership vote goes as it is looking.

I don't think it will be as bad as ice picks, but that came of not holding the party levers.

Talk of a legal challenge to excluding recent members too, but only seen it on the Canery.

Why Jeremy Corbyn’s support for disabled people is not enough | Frances Ryan

Frances Ryan - as a champion of disability rights and a disabled person herself she comes out in support of the man who abstained on the welfare bill rather than the person who voted against it.

Its just laughable - and shes being ripped to shreds in the comments section. I really hope they are overplaying their hand with the "get corbyn" campaign. It wont wash with the labour membership - its being overwhelmingly countered on social media and in day to day conversations - but Im wondering if the wider public will start to see it through it as well - and there is anecdotal evidence of this.
As with Trump, Fargage and Sanders - and the brexit campaign - the more he is vilified the more it cements his anti-establishment credentials.

On a side note - this cant be doing much for the guardian's sales figures either.

The article and the editor reach a new level in the hypocrisy stakes, she is obviously willing to stab the disabled and the vulnerable in the back to score a few popularity points for a shytehawk who abstained on this particular bill, along with many of his 'colleagues' in the PLP.
Eta, for a

All down to Brexit of course, or at least their coverage of it,

 

[coley]

No, of course he wasn't, it was Harriet Harman who was acting leader, I actually think she did it on tactical/strategic grounds and probably would have voted against in other circumstances.

Could you elaborate on these "tactical/strategic grounds"?
Ta.

So, they didn't look weak on welfare at present, "but will will review it later , etc", the soft left have kept saying this, the Blairites just hate Social Security..

So, appealing to the hard right?

 

[coley]

Tbh, a lot of people had/have bought into the 'scroungers line', not surprising with the years of state sponsored propaganda.

Aye, and most of that "state sponsored propaganda" originated from the Blair years.

 

[coley]

Under the weight of about 40 years of outright demonisation of even vaguely leftist political activity, then some (I totally disagree with "most") of the population can't or won't see beyond what the media offers them. That's entirely understandable. What's less understandable is the uncritical acceptance by more of the population, that neoliberalism really is the only game in town.

Look, we actually put the lights out in the 70s, the right ( and the increasingly flaccid left)has used that fact to resonate a distrust of the left ever since, the fact we only put the lights out, was out of desperation, is largely overlooked.
Buggerinhell, I'd like to put thon slimey bastard Owens lights out, but in a polite twittery/facebookey kind of way, with absolutely no hint of bullying or physical violence

 

[coley]

Maybe this has more to do with representing her Rotherham constituents in as much as being involved with the ongoing investigations, as I said, maybe?

This look like being funnier than anything MTW or HIGNFY could conjure up in their wildest dreams, oh crack on you PLP waverers.

 

[coley]

The heady whiff of deselection proceedings is starting to concentrate minds.

Too late, many have shown their true colours, dark/or pale blue, won't make a difference come the reckoning.

We had a maths teacher who had no control over his classes. Folk used to climb out of the window and go for a smoke. He'd shout "come back boy!" But nobody cared.

The other maths teacher next door. Nobody climbed out of her window. Even though everyone wanted to. Probably more so than in the other guy's lessons.

Corbyn comes across like the first guy.

Do I see a convoluted reference to your 'dear leader' there

 

[coley]

The irony of her being "shadow minister for preventing abuse".

Or possibly returning in order to validate the 'abuse concerns'?

 

[coley]

Typical Corbynesque bullying behaviour to welcome her back with open arms

Such evilness in one person

So have I, but I would have smacked her cheeks, both, but her right one twice and told her to bugger off.

Reported in the Graun:

Labour sued by members barred from leadership vote

It repeats the brick through Eagle's window lie again. Well, it implies that its linked to Corbyn's supporters.

The hunter who shot Bambi's mum?

I've never seen Bambi all the way through, because when I grew up Disney usually only allowed clips to be shown on TV. There were bank holiday specials, usually presented by the Blue Peter team (Singleton, Purves, Noakes, of course), Harry Secombe or Roy Castle.

It's on netflix now. I watched it all for the first time last year. It wasn't quite as I imagined.

I've not got Netflix, but I imagine Bambi to be a maudlin melodrama. The bit I've seen is where he (she?) learns how to ice skate with a rabbit called Thumper.
