They keep wheeling them out, don't they?
We should have bets on who will be next. Is that all of the Blairites now?

Blair himself has been quiet so far!
Ironic that Alastair Darling doesn't know what Corbyn stands for.
Given how long Corbyn has been a Labour MP for Darling should be embarrassed by that statement. It just goes to show how much contempt the careerist front benchers have for normal back bench MP's.

Or might be a Norf London, Labour heart-land, Corbyn effect?

Yeah, not exactly a bellwether, but you can only beat the team in front of you, Gary.

Air of bewilderment model's own
It's a bit like when some vile multinational threatens to move its operations offshore if they're forced to pay tax.
GO, YOU FUCKING CUNTS. YOU HAVE OUR BLESSING!
Lib Dems and Blairites - two groups of shallow, slippery, careerist arseholes who thoroughly deserve each other.
But you don't say where he gets his energy from. Oh I geddit, you mean Energy.

Corbyn 'has capitalised on public mistrust of politicians' = we know that you know we're cunts but you're fucking dreaming if you think you're getting rid of us you fucking pleb cunts.

The Corbyn Effect is an excellent paranoid conspiracy thriller made in the 70s starring Donald Sutherland.
Famously bleak ending. The opening music has a great guitar riff by Stockwell Fudge.

Are those 30% unaware that Lab are led by a terrorist supporting, atheist, republican, marxist pacifist?

Apparently in Britain if you want to avoid being called anti-Semitic, at least by the Jewish Chronicle, you have to pledge not only not to criticise Israel but to actively encourage business with Israel and Sadiq Khan is just the man to do that.
It's weird that a new McCarthyism on anti-Israel sentiment seems to be increasing while in wider society AFAIK there has been no decline in public support for treating Palestinians as human beings.

Quite rightly he's staying quiet on some topics, like Israel for the moment. He does need to smarten up, get some nice suits, a tie and sort it out a bit though.
Plenty of people cant imagine Corbyn as PM. Needs to play the game a bit better. So far it's just the same old labour mistakes repeating themselves. Michael Foot and his donkey jacket at rememberance sunday, anyone?

You realise he never actually wore a donkey jacket at the cenotaph?

The one that the press made up? Yes, I remember that.

I think the image stuff is overplayed. Sure he looks a bit casual but its not like he's turned up in jeans and an old band t-shirt.
I have on several occasions mentioned the spurious news story about Foot's donkey jacket. It was no such thing but it was a short woollen coat (in green if I remember) and came from a Saville Row taylor. Foot was fairly infirm by then with a foot injury and it made him stoop as he walked with his walking stick.
This gave him an inelegant look which the papers wanted to comment on so made up the donkey jacket tale. These examples of disinformation continue for years because the papers use their old copy as "research sources".
In 2010 the Telegraph corrected this story. Michael Foot and the donkey jacket that wasn't
