Rochester & Strood by-election

Bubble = Westminster, media, me and everyone I know
Not Bubble = anyone who disagrees with me; Urban75; the working class.

Whatever a few sour-faced malodorous cranks on a bulletin board determine, thus thinks everyone outside of the Bubble. Anyone who has the temerity to agree with me - whoever or wherever they are - are ipso facto Bubblists.
You're such a great politician, a great thinker and a master strategist too.

That summation above is substantially correct yes. Apart from one point - being outside of the bubble doesn't make you right in itself. It helps though. And it certainly helps in spotting bubble bullshit. Which is what you've served up for 8 days straight on this issue. Without even knowing, worse, in fact whilst speaking for the labour left.
 
you manage to echo the Labour leadership and the Sun, but you are speaking for the non-bubble everyman. Oh yes.

No, it's you losing every fucking argument then arguing you were right to lose them. Oh master strategist.

To be fair, part of being remembered by history as a master strategist is spinning defeats into victories. Kesselring did it a couple of times. Of course, he did follow up those defeats with thumping victories, whereas articul8...well, victory is a stranger to his door. :)
 
General Election turn out suggests that the view of Parliamentarians as being in a bubble divorced from reality is wider than this bulletin board.

My folks, who are in their 70s and don't really follow politics, thought "bubble" was the perfect description of how Westminster and the media operate, given how divorced from everyday reality so much policy and reportage is.
 

It is a little amusing that his support is qualified by a mere 26 years absentia. It is possible she has changed just a tad in the interim.

Jeremy Corbyn has played down the issue too and appeared supportive. Local loyalties, or maybe he does think the tweet issue was bollocks as it was.

The most damning thing I've heard is the house purchase, which is, as it stands, shocking for an MP.
 
He does seem to have 'dressed up' for that photo/story. He now works for a charity related to construction but not, presumably, doing it. He also lives in a £1,000,000 house, according to the story.


The R/W press are really going to dig for stories about him.
