Labour leadership

[ska invita]

It's difficult because the Observer is arch-Blairite now. They featured Blair on their front page last week warning about Corbyn. In their world, Labour doesn't oppose tory policies, it coopts them.

now?
They seems to be the go to source for MI5 to drop bullshit on a sunday for at least 20 years now... such a dodgy paper

Apparently, the new leader of the opposition has some belief in the powers of homeopathy.

Doesn this mean we only need to build a millionth of a gulag for the dissenters?

Jeremy Corbyn addresses Parliament Square refugee rally - BBC News

Speech delivered at the rally. Not something I expected to hear from a LP leader.

 

[redsquirrel]

Exactly what I thought. Good practice to attend you'd think.

Yeah I don't really get the "story" either. And why did the Tory panic and run away rather than just say "Yep I'm here to see what's said"

I hate it when threads grow at such a fast rate. No fucking way I'm reading through all the posts that have appeared since yesterday, so I'll just assume there was a bunfight over Corbyns electability, an obligatory returning poster with a sock-puppet account, someone who picked up on a misspelled word and ran with it for at least 10 posts, and that a quip about saltmines was made.

 

[DotCommunist]

a quip about saltmines was made.

not yet but rest assured when the moment is ripe I will be on that gag like a dog on spilt chips

Another thing that made me happy was to see Ben Bradshaw get the lowest vote in the deputy leadership elections and get eliminated on the first round.
He is one horrible smarmy Blairite twat.

What the papers say.

I'm suprized to see the lack of 'siezed'. Thats how they describe democratic wins by anyone left of adolf normally

The torygragh makes an interesting point; the death of new labour. I suspect they were looking at things in a different light to me.

it might not be the death of blairism completely, but its certainly a massive slap

Am I right in thinking that neither Corbyn nor Watson will even talk to the Murdoch press on the grounds that they're criminal scum?

ETA - Or is that just some shit Guido Fawkes made up?

By way of illustration, Watson grilling James 'Lying Shitweasel' Murdoch ...

Tom Watson labels James Murdoch 'mafia boss' - BBC News

I love the way they keep reporting things like this as though it was a bad thing.

Apparently, the new leader of the opposition has some belief in the powers of homeopathy...

Do you have even a drop of evidence for this assertion?

Maybe he does but it may well be almost undetectable.

I see the beeb are running with the frankly embarrasing clip of Gove trying to do an 'authentic arabic speaker' accent while saying hamas and hizbollah.
