The 2017 General Election campaign

[butchersapron]

It's a good illustration of a Labour Party mindset though.

Mikey's parody of what he bizarrely thinks everyone else here believes or mikey's actual content/posts (the few you can find anyway)? Both are pretty embarrassing.

If the latter i don't think many people in the party have that paranoid inexperienced/jaded mindset - i think the roots don't go very deep and have probably only taken hold among some of the newer members. If the former, i think it's just as far from the membership's mindset. Accurate for some factions of the leadership/leadership in waiting though.

Yeah. And local wannabes.

 

[butchersapron]

Yeah. And local wannabes.

I'd also add that the line of travel of both groups if they became dominant is the same - the death of the labour party on both pre and post 97 basis.

I don't know any Labour people with anything close to either mindset. I think people pick up on the bullshit they read on twitter and assume it's representative when it's just a few loudmouth nutters.

Nope. Just taking the piss out of Labour moderates. Fuck all to do with what I think people here believe. Or what you think I think thatt other people believe. So just fuck off. K?

Dunno. Some local Labour people around me aren't too far off it.

Very telling hand position. Literally (and figuratively) avoiding soiling her own by placing them, open, where rough types in hi-vis have had their greasy great paws.

had this passed to me today. a well thought out picture from labour in sunderland. what could possibly go wrong?

it's actually them off to pay the mp's deposit but posted with almost no context and people who genuinely and helpfully pointed this out (not me, snoopers) were rounded on. great stuff Labour! anyone fancy doing some photoshop so i can post them elsewhere?

Fella in hi-vis is thinking "a swift punch to the throat and she's dead. Wonder if I can pull it off before her copper plugs me?".

Ah, if only it were that simple.

Re: the continuing death of parliamentary socialism. I saw a comment about UKIP on chitter the other day, the gist of which was that everyone used to knock them for not having any Westminster seats, but it turned out they didn't need them.

The BBC have announced a head-to-head QT special with Corbo and May.

Looks like his strategy of refusing to do the ITV debate without May was pretty sound then...

we'll see how stacked the audience questioners are eh.

maybe I'm being overly cynical and they'll go for a 50/50 audience.

Just those two? If that was the intention (sideline the LibDems, Greens etc. TINA) then well played.

 

[killer b]

that's what they're saying ATM

actually, there's more: a head to head, a head to head between farron & sturgeon (?) and a 7-way.

Not a head-to-head but a back-to-back: "leaders will face audience questions consecutively."
