Boris Johnson

[Jairzinho]

I'd happily see Corbyn replaced by someone else on the left. Someone without the baggage. A better orator, a better politician in general. However, the paucity of possible replacements, and the fact that, as moof says, absolutely anyone to the left of Jo Swinson is going to get the "terrorist sympathising communist" routine if they have the temerity to want to see the end of nurses going to foodbanks and us murdering shepherds in the Middle east.

 

If it was someone like Starmer he'd have to convince the membership that he would push for left wing policies. I don't know if he could.

 

The n*rr*tive has to continue to be challenged. We can't allow Rupert Murdoch and his ilk, and in fact the wets at the Guardian, to continue to dictate what is or isn't acceptable politically or economically.

He's going to prove the "doubters, doomsters and gloomsters" wrong.

 

Did someone write that for him I wonder, or did he throw it in off the cuff.

It just can’t be anyone who disagrees with lies , slander, the dismantling of the NHS and the middle class I’m all right jack attitude. Basically no humanitarians.

Waiting for him to say that the Lib Dem share doesn't count because those are pace votes.

Farage for the ambassadors post to the US? The possibility doesn't seem like a joke anymore.

We are living in a dystopian present. What the cunting fuck is going on?

[Davelfc]

What's the betting that the four commanders of our nuclear submarines all receive sealed letters telling them they're sacked from the cabinet, and four of the cabinet receive instructions to nuke everyone.

The main chatter on Twitter is that in the picture of Johnson meeting the Queen, there's a Dyson fan in the background.

 

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how we got here.

You don’t defeat the far right in 2019 by a return to normalcy and standards. We need systemic change, any labour leader offering systemic change will get the same push back as Corbyn has received. We need to address the failing capitalist/oligarchic system. A moderate labour leader might be more electable, according to the media and Tory polling companies, but doesn’t actually offer any of what we need to lift civilisation out of the mire. We are at an existential moment in our history. 

The agenda you want is meaningless unless Labour can win power. Regrettably I can't see that happening with Corbyn at the helm. Right now I would settle for a moderate leader that can win with the alternative being another Tory victory

This is fucking hilarious.

No , that would be a step too far for Johnson at this stage. He can't risk any further controversy over this when he has to get his wavering MP's on board

What times we live in hey?

I wonder if she'll be having any more secret meetings with Israeli politicians?

Who is this moderate leader guaranteed to win an election? Starmer? Miliband? Cooper? Jess Phillips?

 

I don’t see that it’s any more likely someone like that can win an election in the current climate, nor how much use it would be to us.

 

Which genuine alternative will address the real issues facing the planet in 2019? Corporate power, media corruption, climate change, immigration, democratising the economy, global wealth inequality, standing up to fascism... it’s all good and well saying “any labour govmt is better than any Tory govmt” but what happens when we’re 5 years further down the road still desperately clinging on to a violent, crumbling system? 

 

Labour pre-Corbyn was an austerity supporting neoliberal party, and as soon as they get rid of him they will lurch heavily back to the right.

Sounds lovely. Do you mind if i abstain for the little  green upward  arrows you all seem to crave.

 

You readily seem.to support and vote for people like the below.

 

https://euobserver.com/institutional/141039

 

Its all linked,  its all relative,  its all in this game they call capitalism. The people in the above link win. The people who except the people in the above link lose. I

 

Id you vote for an organisation that has the scum in the link above as its head then you  are eeping a corrupt system flourishing. Which is your choice, up to you, but imo its not fair to mock the brickies from barnsley or the welders from willow who want the system to crash and burn in a handcart from hell and are willing to take their chances from the freefall because they have literaly nothing at all to lose.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

He's surrounded himself by incompetent cunts, yet loads will still vote for the Tories at the next GE, even if the Pound land Trump survives Brexit. 

[Tony Moanero]

Couldn’t sleep last night, so I spent ages reading stuff on Twitter. Fuck me, some people are absolutely clueless. Properly pissed me off.
