the morning star has been on corbyn's side right from the off! bettre than the bleedin' guardian.

We had a moment of sass about the whole thing while putting the paper to bed last night:

BBC are being fucking atrocious at the moment!

Rachel Reeves resigned too. Great.

This is great news for those facing the new onslaught in social security attacks.

Exactly, it's just hypocritical scraping of the barrel in the face of an emphatic victory.

ta! I looked on bbc paliament but its some debate about scottish stuff.

Tories have proved that stick works better than carrot with the beeb. Blair's gov bought their loyalty. Now they're all shitting themselves that if they could possibly be accused of the slightest lefty bias they'll all get thrown in the bin.

 

[Doctor Carrot]

It's really interesting to see this. Even the reporters are a bit unsettled by this it seems.

old school anglo-catholic gentry.

Kuennsberg - it's going to be fascinating to watch...

Bit more fascinating than you, Laura.

Recusants! hiding priests in holes

I'll bet Blair thinks he's in the middle of a nightmare?

Labour gone into full recruitment mode, all over twitter, etc, 'come and join us'
interesting, Watson's off already.

He is!

Heard somewhere recently (poss News 24?) that Corbyn's campaign was the only one to have a direct link on the front of their website to register as a supporter.

If that's true it was a massive failure on the part of the others' campaigns.

The postie just delivered the mail with a massive grin on his face, as someone had told him that Corbyn won. His grin was even bigger when we told him that Corbyn secured a clear majority of the £3ers and of the membership. Told him "you've got to watch his speech, if only to see the faces on the Blairites".

Beeb are a fucking shambles.

Rachel Reeves resigned too. Great.

Jumped before she was pushed. She has no place in Corbyn's plans.

 

[cesare]

Apparently when John Prescott was asked for his response to Jamie Reed's resignation, he said "who's he?"

Beeb are a fucking shambles.

Can't even plagiarise properly, bound to be someone who has had an expensive education too...

 

[Fez909]

When George Osborne watched Ed Miliband winning Labour leadership in 2010, he shouted “Yes!! Yes!! Yes!!” I imagine he had probably passed out by the end of Jeremy Corbyn’s acceptance speech: it was the stuff of Tory fantasy.

Jeremy Corbyn’s acceptance speech was the stuff of Tory dreams - Spectator Blogs

I think they're really underestimating the public's appetite for these policies.

Louise keeps Cherie Blair beneath a trapdoor in the Butler's parlour.

license fee well spent. Thats whats annoyed me a bit about their 'analysis' and interviewing. Its slapdash shit any one of us could do. Wrong accent, wrong face, wrong school, wrong class. So instead we get these prats offering up yesterdays wisdom as if they've struck gold. Wiki mining twats.

 

[treelover]

loads of LP members on Guardian CIF saying they are resigning

who cares, having said that, we may like JC, but the public might not, but and its important, there will now be a proper opposition.

 

[Fez909]

I’ll be offering Jeremy Corbyn my support. I hope also that Jeremy Corbyn reaches out to all parts of the party because he has a big job to do to unite the party. Jeremy has won a very clear victory in all sections. I believe we should respect that mandate.

The task of the leader is to reach all parts of that movement and I believe that’s what Jeremy should do. It’s about the fact that right across our party they voted for Jeremy Corbyn. It’s a massive opportunity for our party.

Ed in Corbyn's shadow cabinet?

Until now I'd have said he was the guy who did the Sex Pistols' artwork.
