Jeremy Corbyn's time is up

Anyone missing the electronic voting discussion now!

In other news, Richard Branson has been seriously injured in a bicycle crash. Apparently he was going downhill at speed and in the dark, then hit a sleeping policeman and came off - so momentum is to blame.

I think we're already past missing the electronic voting chat:

Is anyone else remembering the electronic voting fraud discussion a bit more fondly now?

so we're probably feeling wistful about baking puns just about now

couldn't you have just left me with my memories?

Saw this on shitebook:

"The investigations team deciding the expelling and suspensions is currently under investigation by the Police for wasting police time, political intimidation & making false statements to the Police."

That's expulsions and suspensions from the LP, natch. Is this claim about them having incurred the Wrath of Plod for real?

Just to flesh this out a bit 'I thought I was dead' - Richard Branson reveals how he cheated death in horror bike crash - Independent.ie

Well, that's put a damper on their little game.

be bare lols if it is. Political intimidation? 'we know your chief super fairly well' sort of thing? Well when that backfires, it backfires hard

Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of people.

Doubt it - "political intimidation" isn't an offence, and for them to be done for wasting police time and making a false statement would require them to have reported allegations (and its hard to see why the investigations team would be reporting allegations, rather than individual MPs / councillors / NEC members etc).

Beware the louts, sticking nous up their snouts
Not so much as an ounce between them

Shock! Horror! The Daily Heil reveals the Leader of the Official Opposition earns a salary and is in line to get a pension when he retires! He even lives in a £600,000 house. Whatever next? I bet he has a comfy chair too! FFS. You call this journalism? I piss better journalism.

Jeremy Corbyn today said he does not consider himself wealthy, despite earning more than £137,000 a-year, owning a £600,000 home and a £1.6million pension.

The Labour leader was announcing a new policy to fund the arts during a visit to Edinburgh as he said high arts such as ballet and opera should not be the preserve of the wealthy, adding: 'I don't consider myself high-brow or wealthy, but I still enjoy some aspects of classical music.'

He was immediately branded 'out of touch,' with critics pointing out he earns five times the average UK salary.

I'm not wealthy says Corbyn despite earning £138,000 a-year

Hang on, didn't they run this story last year?

Oh, it was April. FFS.

 

[Fez909]

tbf, he is very wealthy. There's not much I wouldn't do for £138,000/y

 

[DotCommunist]

its just bob crow lived in a council house stuff. I've been finding their anti-charity splashers a bit more concerning. Its proper sinister. Say that things are getting more fucked up and come under the eye of sauron. There is no real except the new one.

 

[nino_savatte]

No, he isn't "very wealthy". He's certainly not in the same bracket as Branson, Green or even Geoffrey Robertson (former Labour MP). Those are examples of the "very wealthy". Corbyn may earn more than either you or I and may live in a house that has appreciated in value since he bought it, but that doesn't make him "very wealthy".

Has the Foo Fighters story made it here?

There is no knead for bread based puns to leaven the mood, the whole(meal) thing is just a farce that never seems to reach a climax.

Foo Fighters themselves have not yet commented on the matter.

hehehe

 

[killer b]

TBF if any other politician with his income & means had claimed not to consider themselves wealthy, they'd be branded out of touch too. It's a ridiculous thing for him to say.

Oh gawd, this has risen up again.

Corbyn may earn more than either you or I and may live in a house that has appreciated in value since he bought it, but that doesn't make him "very wealthy".

His earnings put him in the top 1% of earners in the UK. Even in the USA he'd be in the top 2%.

He's very wealthy. People like Branson are outliers. There's not many of them. There's thousands of Corbyns, on over £100k a year. He is very wealthy.

 

[tangerinedream]

I think the key point in this is the Foo Fighters are shit and have been releasing the same anodyne track for about 65 years non stop so tweeting about 'fucking loving' them is at yeast a formal warning.

 

[brogdale]

Ban him...

 

[steveo87]

What shit band did he 'recommend' to Milliband when he resigned, you know, the first time?
