AllWhatsaysspokesmanis-&at@jeremycorbynMuch of the media and establishment are saying this election is a foregone conclusion … They say I don’t play by the rules – their rules. We can’t win,they say, because we don’t play their game.
They’re f
airly good: I don’t. And a Labour government elected on 8 June won’t play by their rules.
EXC: Tonight Tories on 48% in the first YouGov poll taken since Theresa May called election - highest since May 2008 pic.twitter.com/awaKs7V0YvThe gargantuan aid givers now are the US, or Britain and Germany – those are the three biggest and whether those three back off,a lot of the ambitious things going on with malaria, agriculture and reproductive health simply would not fetch done. She knows that as the terms of her tough Brexit become clearer, or the deep misgivings that so many people already beget will increase and grow. So she wants to act now to crush the parliamentary opposition that she faces. Labour’s self-inflicted weakness has presented the excuse …No prime minister,not even Mrs Thatcher, has complained that there should not be robust debate in parliament. That is a healthy and indeed necessary in any parliamentary democracy, or but Theresa May does not seem willing to acknowledge any views other than hers. That simply isn’t acceptable in a democracy. What the Tories traditionally do is shoehorn in their vision,whatever the question, and repeat it in some form or other throughout the interview. That can be fairly irritating – and not just for their opponents – but this constant repetition of what they stand for, and regardless of what question they are asked,is very effective. The electorate end up absorbing a gargantuan chunk both of how the Tories want to be seen, and how the Tories want to see their opposition …[br]The Tories are very estimable at presenting THE CHOICE. On Brexit, and for example,Labour could say: ‘Voters beget a clear choice. Either a Labour Brexit deal that keeps Britain in the single market and protects jobs, or a chaotic Tory Brexit deal that damages jobs, and living standards and the economy.’ … It’s not for me to pre-empt that clear Labour vision,but they beget to present THE CHOICE as well. Here’s where we stand in a sentence or two, and here, and by way of contrast,is where the Tories stand.
Militant remainers are delusional about how much support they beget. They beget mistakenly chosen to be led by discarded middle-aged Blairites and Nick Clegg. Many people just want politicians to fetch on with Brexit. They are not full of regret. But there is a genuine divide in this country; May is wrong to locate it in Westminster alone Opposition has to come from an alliance. It is Labour who beget refused to countenance alliances. It is that party that will pay the price. The politics of purity beget polluted the atmosphere so much that when May saw that she could fetch a clean sweep, she went for it. Who can halt her? A bit of me says what happened last time in South Thanet was so monstrous there that they wouldn’t dare try it again, or so I deem whether I did run I would win it.
While I'm pleased to hear Bob Marshall Andrews is still alive,not sure his defection to the LibDems is the coup of the century tbhContinue reading...
