ill tell you in about 5-7 days

1 - Where's my stuff?
2 - Track your package?
3 - How do I send this shit back?

 

[Wilf]

Seriously? Battle Eagle Angela?

It's like the Somme, only its not in France and there's no battle - but the trenches are filled with shit(s)

 

[DotCommunist]

Seriously? Battle Eagle Angela?

the film of alita is in the works. I dunno how to feel about this. Its a good anime but it might go a bit dollhouse

 

[Biscuitician]

Novelist , edgy young grimester / "roadsman" ( as, I believe, the saying goes) - along with Stormzy, trying to remember the last time working class London youth were coming out in support of a socialist politician, and joining the Labour Party etc ....am struggling - suspect it says more about the future than Tooting / Camden liberals no confidencing....

 

[Kaka Tim]

finally - a credible challenger.

 

[Wilf]

I rather see her as the next DC Comics film franchise:

"Eagle Woman, she may strike at any time, after giving you due warning and then giving you a bit more time".

 

[Lord Camomile]

This tickled me

Great that she got that last "it's not immigration, it's austerity" point in.

 

[Wilf]

"Eagle Woman and Scooter Man: tough on Corbyn, tough on the causes of Corbyn"

 

[DotCommunist]

DC's 'Legends of Tommorow' has a great iteration of Hawkgirl. Kendra. Every time I see her on screen I immejutly have to... but not just that, she carries it off so well as the reluctant warrior.

unlike angela eagle who seems to have realised she's been punted forward for a stalking horse to made into glue come the resounding re-win of st jezza

I think Polly Toynbee as narrator is definitely a poor choice tbh.

Heeeeeeere's Polly!

Nice to see a whiff of racism there:

These could be the end days of Labour. Expect a challenge to Corbyn shortly, but there are wrangles as to who should do it: splitting the anti-Corbyn vote would be suicidal. Eagle has most support – soft-left, close to the unions, level headed, an experienced safe pair of hands. Owen Smith takes a slightly further left stance, but some say it can’t be someone Welsh, and he’s unknown. Watson is the key player, a wise bargainer and as deputy leader the one with a direct mandate elected by the party membership: he still hopes that Corbyn can be talked down off his miserable throne of thorns before Monday.

 

[Idris2002]

A sportsman's bet for anyone interested: After several more days of this, battle eagle Angela will pull a Boris and bottle it.

Have I any takers?

 

[nino_savatte]

The Graun isn't even trying any more. I read the same story yesterday in another source.

Watson is seeking to organise a meeting with Corbyn’s closest advisers to try to agree a negotiated settlement that would see the Labour leader step down voluntarily, thus avoiding an acrimonious and drawn-out battle.
Tom Watson calls on Labour MPs to prevent leadership contest

"Negotiated settlement". FFS.

 

[Artaxerxes]

Thats Monday right? Ho boy.

I'm off to watch the wales game, but if there's a mighty screeching in the background I'll know the Mighty Eagle hath swooped. Don't say she didn't warn him. And then again. Or perhaps tomorrow. Anyway, he'll know not to mess with the indecisive.

don't really think it counts to bet on something after it's happened

I think this comment really illustrates her hypocrisy

If Corbyn hadn’t so forcefully emphasised his belief in free movement on the eve of the poll, he might not have lost the 27% of core working class Labour voters who now say they won’t be voting Labour again. It’s that cataclysm facing Labour, in what might be an imminent election, that precipitated the great rebellion against their leader.

Simultaneously making Remain the non-racist option while either wanting freedom of movement for EU nations to be stopped or for Corbyn etc to lie about it.

 

[Idris2002]

So that's where my business plan went wrong!

I'm still hoping for a live on TV meltdown, "I'm sorry Mr. Corbyn" etc

So Corbyn has a nice weekend, then two days' wait, then...

 

[Sirena]

Corbyn rally tonight in Manchester..

 

[NoXion]

Beautiful red flags!

 

[Sirena]

Beautiful red flags!

The demographic is interesting. Mixed, mostly youngish, very ordinary-looking sort of people.

 

[killer b]

Beautiful red flags!

That's the spring lot, Das Uberdog s crew. They do some good stuff in Manchester.

 

[Puddy_Tat]

sounds like the list of labour councillors who (allegedly) want JC to quit is a bit dodgy

 

[treelover]

Corbyn rally tonight in Manchester..

Pretty Impressive, out of college time as well.

 

[killer b]

Mrs b's housemate, who's politics veer between totally apolitical to mildly reactionary said she was going, seemed really up for it. I was astonished.

Any idea what in particular might have gotten them so enthused?

 

[killer b]

She just said 'we can't let them get away with it! They're all bastards!'

Apparently a few days ago she was saying Corbyn should go too. I think people's opinions are very volatile atm...
