She did say it was a joke but it was delivered to camera in a very straight face. It's not surprising it can be misinterpreted.

This is getting increasingly silly. More women in the shadow cabinet than ever before, and still Corbyn gets criticised for not having enough women on his team
Plus he even picked a bloke with a girls name , Hilary . He just can't bloody win.
It wasn't, she was cracking up.

Tonight's 'Evening Standard' did a total hatchet job on Corbyn over something like 5 pages. And, curiously, they were doing a full page spread on Sadiq Khan (mayoral race) so they even tried to spin Sadiq saying he will fight for London into him saying he will fight Corbyn....
It was Sadiq who was one of the key people to put Corbyn forward in the leader race....
And this seems to be appalling from Emily Maitlis (you have to watch it right to the end - or start halfway through....)
Do not ever read the Daily Evening Fascist. Flicking through to the quick crossword is allowed, only on occasion.
Join me in my fantasy that whenever you are on an evening train that you run up and down the carriages ripping it out of people's hands and tasmanianing devil shreaking all up in their faces...i'll even dance to the music in my head/heart as I do so... It is the drip, drip stuff of pure frustration and impotence. Fuck them.

That sound you hear in the background there is that of a barrell being scraped. Pathetic.

Fuck, but they're scared, aren't they?
And every time Corbyn doesn't rise to this shit they grow more unhinged, just like the Blairite wing of Labour did.

I love the end of that. he barks about spinning then walks off.

Can you remember ever in the past other PLP members standing up like Skinner and calling these bs reporters down? (perhaps 2 jags, few others though)
If I recall it was nearly always the other way around.
And now that classic gospel number - oh skinner soothe my soul.

Interesting response from the Economic Intelligence Unit, acknowledging Corbyn's appeal while suggesting he should be leading a party to the left of a centrist Labour - I'd never come across the voter/politician relationship described in terms of supply & demand before. The marketisation of everything.

maybe this discussion should continue on a new thread perhaps titled "the corbyn years"
They (them bastards) must be shitting their keks over Corbyn winning, otherwise if it were that now labour are unelectable why would there be this constant, hysterical barrage of shite at the man. They would simply sit back, relax and grate some more puffin onto their granary toast!
And watch the Labour Party melt away into history, that's if they are certain Corbyn's victory will bring, IMO they are really concerned that something is about to rock their boat.

It doesn't matter which one of the fab four won. The Conservative party would never just sit back. They would always relentlessly attack the winner on whatever their perceived weakness is;
Jezbollah: terrorist's pal, hates Britain
Burnham: bathed in the blood of the sick children of Stafford
Cooper: has almost certainly fellated Ed Balls
Kendall: season 3 of Borgen was the weakest

What the hell are we supposed to tell the kids?
It's a bit rich the Russian state whingeing about media bias. I don't recall them or Russia Today going too hard on Putin over the polonium murder or the Malaysian airliner.
I don't expect much honesty after they help Assad to level Raqqa Grozny style either, so if they don't like it they can fuck off back to, er, Russia.

Not a Girly Swot, but I like them....
no, more subtle than that. they think that economicly, Corbin has an attractive message - whether its viable or not is entirely another matter, and not really part of this - there are lots of people who's living standards have gone into reverse, lots of middle England who fear for the ability of their children to ever buy their own home, and lots of people (and not just of the Corbyn-ite left) who feel completely ripped off by privatisation and PFI. there are large parts of Tory England that do not believe that saying 'long term economic plan' endlessly means that either you have one, or that its any good for them.
they think however that Corbyn's weakness - in terms of being in tune with the public - on defence, foreign policy, interesting causes abroad, NATO mebership, Trident, immigration etc.. will probably more than counter-act the popularity of his economic message, and they also - from bitter experience - know that divided parties do not win elections.
they think that Corbyn will lose the next election on his own merits, but not being idiots they aren't going to bet the farm on it, so they want a plan 'B' - and plan 'B' is having the Labour party self-distruct over the above issues. Labour will probably implode over those issues anyway as they are big, important issues and opinions on them are dearly held and not easily compromised over, but the tories take the veiw that a little poke might help the timing of that.
they also take the view that having Corbyn fall in the first 18 months or so, and having his energised, social media savvy supporters wander off into the political desert having got their fingers burnt on the fire of parliamentary politics would be no bad thing..
