Jeremy Corbyn's time is up

[JTG]

Shall I correct her ? I recently had a masterclass from her on why the pirate accent is not Bristolian. All sounds the same to me .

What part is she from?

Also, of course the pirate accent is Bristolian. All pirates are Bristolian. Up the Gas.

It's just I've heard it argued that "Brizzle" is more correct for southsiders, though I'd dispute that. The northern (and therefore correct) way is to say "Bristle", "Brittle" or "Brisdawl". North Bristol has the numbers on its side

I will look into this .

Rather let's have the satisfaction of seeing the troublemaker fall back into line. And let's not say 'too late'. This election is far from settled.

Read this and thought of this conversation. These people have the words I lacked the other day.

The Guardian’s sudden love for Corbyn is cynical self-interest – don’t fall for it | Sodium Haze | Read, Contribute, Comment, Organise

One can imagine how marvellously cosy it was at the offices of The Guardian and The Observer during the Blair years: seen to be on the right side of history, with a revolving door into the corridors of power and on first name terms with New Labour apparatchiks including the grand poo-bah himself. Entrenched within the establishment, they were determined to defend their place in the Westminster bubble and fight for a return of the good ole Blair years.

Jeremy Corbyn must have been a horrible cold shower for hacks at The Gruan. Here was a man who didn’t seek the favour of the mainstream press, who (shock horror!) didn’t have any mates in the lobbying business and who operated outside of the neoliberal consensus for which they were important gatekeepers. What on earth was to be done with a man who didn’t come crawling to their court looking to kiss the pinky ring? The solution was simple: destroy him and replace him with a proper establishment career politico. Trouble is, it hasn’t worked.

The Guardian can shove its pretence of support for Corbyn up its collective anal channel.

A very satisfying read

I note other blogs and opinions all too keen to forgive and forget. I particularly shudder at the notion The Guardian has somehow come back to the fold (whichever fold that might be).

Clarity

From Stoke bishop apparently.

She is clear that brizzle is correct

The Sun in full 'Labour ate my baby' mode today. They'd been saving pictures of Anjem Choudrey at a Corbyn speech for this moment. It's a 'so what' revelation, but a big banner headline.

The Express has 'vote May' to avoid 'disaster' which if nothing else suggests they consider Brexit more of a risk than they were letting on.

Corbyn team should go full attack on May in the last 24 hours and make her weakness the issue.

Stoke Bishop is about the poshest area of Bristol there is, I'd be very surprised to hear an accent on anyone from there.

is it now.....I was not aware of this BUT THE PIECES OF THE JIGSAW NOW FIT TOGETHER... etc......I think she moved to Montpellier at 18 from conversations last night

so confusing

 

[Whagwan]

Does she have a trust fund? Most who move to Montpelier from Stoke Bishop do!

has nothing . Sadly, I can confirm that.

Or so she tells you.

Apologies to all for my doubting Corbyn and the whole palaver with the leadership election last year.... I, like many, was wrong

 

[ItWillNeverWork]

I voted for Corbyn. I don't think he has covered himself in glory over the past few months and was virtually absent on the eu debate. This has possibly cost a lot of remain votes. His time is up. He should go. Give the party time to elect a leader and sort themselves out before the next election.

So just what do you have to say for yourself now, eh?

 

[two sheds]

fucking liberal

 

[BigTom]

I'm going to try to say this only once, I imagine it's already been said.
If this is what can be achieved after two years of infighting and just a couple of months of unity, imagine if the MPs and others had got behind their party's members' decision and there'd be two years of unity to this point.

Will Corbyn be challenged now? I've really no idea. Probably will though, never forget what a bunch of wankers progress are.

 

[Cwmflame]

I am in Owen Smith's constituency. I was schooled on this forum last year for asking what was wrong with his leadership challenge.

Fast forward a few months....

My little sister (who is not young.... 30... Maybe young! ) told me this week she was voting for the first time, and for Corbyn. It's the first time I realized his appeal... It suddenly clicked, I had assumed everyone was despondent with him.

I realize this says more about the company I keep.....

My thought now is how the tories can equivocate their castigating of corbyn for IRA support and their formation of a coalition with the DUP.

Liked for your first point, but the second is wrong.

Corbyn is untouchable now. Even the Blairites are coming out and congratulating him. It would be political suicide for them to not fall in behind him now.

Cheers, I have read nothing but urban and some of the local newspaper, but tom Watson hasn't been featured so I've heard nothing much really. I guess all those increased majorities have rather sharpened the minds eh.

Owen Smith, who stood against Corbyn for the Labour leadership – and held on to his Pontypridd seat comfortably – said: “He’s definitely got something. He beat me fair and square and he’s done very well in this election. He’s to be congratulated for that.”

And the former Welsh secretary Peter Hain said of Corbyn: “To his great credit he has energised the party.”

Here's Peter Hain 8 months ago:

Labour needs to change course to avert 'electoral oblivion' says Chuka Umunna as members blame Corbyn for Copeland defeat

Feeling red-faced? The Labour rebels eating their words after benefiting from Jeremy Corbyn's popularity

Chuka Umunna, touted a possible challenger to Mr Corbyn, emphatically retained his seat in Streatham, obtaining 38,240 votes.

The former shadow business secretary secured victory ahead of Conservative candidate Kim Caddy who gained 11,927 votes.

Mr Umunna paid tribute to Mr Corbyn for an "energetic and engaging campaign" which he said had "derailed the Tories' plans to slash school budgets, cut the NHS, and pursue an extreme Brexit that would make Britain poorer".

Mr Umunna has been the MP for Streatham since 2010, was keen to distance himself from any speculation that he may seek to replace Mr Corbyn in the near future.

“There is absolutely no question hanging over Jeremy’s leadership”, he said.

 

[Fez909]

From the same 'red faced' article above:

I think we've all been working together in this election... that's why we've won support across the country.

There it is. A fucking admission that they (the Blairite cunts) have cost Labour. From their own, shit-filled mouths.

Hmm, maybe I spoke too soon. Carwyn Jones on BBC then, really struggling to praise Corbyn, despite the interviewer pushing him to do so.

Still, 6 months ago it might have been outright criticism instead of begrudging praise.

Seeing the headlines, there's no doubt this is a huge win for Corbyn/labour, even though they aren't going to be in govt. The rats can smell the win and don't want to taint it (politics before principles), I think you are right. For now, anyway.

Is Owen Jones the most slippery cunt in the Guardian?

Pro Corbyn when he was riding high in the leadership context
Anti Corbyn when the polls showed him struggling (the media, which he is part of, mostly responsible for this)
Now pro Corbyn again after it's shown Corbyn is popular

Jeremy Corbyn has caused a sensation – he would make a fine prime minister | Owen Jones

I can't stand that slimy cunt
