If true that is fucking hilarious.

the SNP are going to be asking to officially be recognised as the main opposition this morning as they say Corbyn only has 40 mps who support him and wouldn’t be able to form a cabinet and they have more.

If true that is fucking hilarious.

I think they’re going to go for it tomorrow.

Going to be some interesting times, for sure.

“Moderates” - the perfect people to take the centre ground.

Bwa-ha-ha-ha!



here’s the link about the SNP

Feisty end to opposition questions at PMQs.

Cameron telling Corbyn “for heaven’s sake, man go”

Claiming it was in the national interest.

maybe its just dawned on Cameron that we won’t be able to buy in the traditional European fruits and will have to rely on more deals with exotic fruit bearing countries?

He’s not wrong. As he said, it suits his own party to have him there but not the country who needs, more than ever, a proper opposition. The zealots are to busy screaming at everyone “coup” “coup” and “membership” “membership” to see who the real enemy is.

I think he means “establishment interest”.

Politicians have difficulty separating the two concepts.

It was a clever quip. (from a political sense)

labour / Corbyn will hate being told what to do by Cameron. Does he go and risk being accused of bowing to Tory demands, or does he stay and risk fracturing the party.

What Cameron is after is the latter course

Milliband (E) now calling for Corbyn to go.

Harriet Harman doing the same.

What you going to do Jezzer?

Why do they matter? Harriet Harman urged Labour to abstain on the welfare bill. More than anything, she helped cement him as the real deal during the leadership contest,

Miliband was undone by a bacon sandwich.

“coup” “coup” “membership” “membership”

Wasn’t lost on me.

Good luck finding a candidate to launch an official leadership challenge, guys.

I reckon the “challenge” was actually last night.

It has failed.

The official one, assuming they can conjure the collective cojones to put the question to their members, will fail too.

Still no leadership challenge. Goodness knows why.


Leave it out pap, even I can tell that Corbyn bro is RIP

How so?

The members will decide the victor in any upcoming leadership election.

They’re very happy with Corbyn, and proper fucked off with the PLP.

How do you see them winning?

Not true. As I have always said, it is the national interest to have a credible opposition. It’s why, regardless of the fact that he’s a nice bloke, I strongly opposed him as Labour leader and not someone who would be able to compete with the Tories.

What’s not true?

That politicians believe that the establishment interest is the national interest? That’s patently true in the majority of cases, going by the number of former Parliamentarians on the boards of companies, etc.

If you’d like to make a point about Corbyn’s credibility, at least have a go at defining “credible”.
