This isn't even consistent with his outlook/work is it, strange

 

[Mr Moose]

Being a bit of a toad in Politics Live suggesting that Corbyn’s personal approval ratings were at the level of Prince Andrew’s. Not a particularly pleasant association to make.

Funny to single out Corbyn alone though. The day before the election.

Its the equivalent of click bait to keep himself in the media. I dont think anyone can dodge the issue of Corbyns unpopularity in the polls. Much of it is media made tbh and there are prob hundreds of thousands who hold a completely opposite view. Goodwin has been fairly consistent about the popularity of Corbyns economic policies aaginst his personal lack of appeal.His latest predictions are for a small Tory majority

 

[DJWrongspeed]

You get his election analysis in broadly the 1st 11mins. His arguments show that Labour losing goes way back.

 

[Smokeandsteam]

If anyone wants me to I can post his long report on the election which offers up 9 reasons why labour got hammered. It is very long however

The political science lads must be really pleased to be able to dust off all those articles that have been sat in their deleted folders since 2017.

This Xs 5

This also applies to all the Blairite/Centrist types and their pithy cut and pasted tweets that have been 'resting' on their desktops since 2017.

Haven’t read his work, but everything I’ve seen from social media has been awful. He claimed there was a divide in labour between ‘blue collar workers’ and ‘ethnic minorities’. Plus he’s basically been a Boris apologist since the election from what I can see.

Yeah, whatever the merits of the 'localism' being discussed here, Goodwin seems unable to disguise his all round Johnson fan-boy status.

 

[Shechemite]

Can never forgive Goodwin for narrating his own audiobook so badly. He’s a good speaker normally so he’s got no excuse

 

[Jeff Robinson]

Rightwing prick.

 

[Proper Tidy]

Thing is with goodwin is that his actual writing has value but also he's a prick, his social media presence is embarrassing, he's a knob

 

[Jeff Robinson]

I find it hard to believe anything this guy has written is reliable. He's so obviously a propagandist and a cheerleader for rightwing nationalists like Trump and Boris. A truly vile piece of shit.

Shit the bed, he's gone full Paul Mason only in the opposite direction

that cartoon looks like it was originally conceived to mark Johnson dying, but has been quickly revised to... I don't know what it's supposed to do now.

 

[Shechemite]

Looks like the cover of a Bible Stories for Children book

 

[killer b]

oh I see, it's a brexit cartoon looking at the date

I honestly thought it was a Steve Bell cartoon at first.
