No matter how much I might despair at the prospect of a BeeJay PM - I am pretty much just as uncomfortable with the idea of JayCee as PM. I just don't get the attraction of either. But hey ho.

It's a toughie - but I think I might also - given Boris may not have that much longevity occupying #10.
Apart from Corbyn's record in the Labour Party; his total lack of loyalty to any leader over the decades; and his lack of leadership and decisiveness in respect of the anti-Semite issues in the party - I just find that the catch in his voice as he snatches little breaths as he speaks a little physical tic that - to me - suggests a bit of nervousness and lack of conviction in his delivery of what he is saying...shallow I know - but just as it is...

at #PMQs. "He and I are very different people...What we have in common is our commitment to our constituencies. As a party leader who has accepted when her time is up, perhaps the time has come for him to do the same". Wow

Bit rich from May, her time was up June 2017 after her disastrous GE campaign and result, has taken a further 2 years to shift her.

So JC has looked at his war with the Tories a selected his best weapon and decided of all the possible wrongs in the country he'll attack Grouse Shooting!
It is just timing, 1st day of the shooting season. This is a day when Caroline Lucas is making headlines, it really is a quiet one with most politiciians on holiday.

Yup I'm well aware of the 12th - but really what a waste of breathe, but hey its an argument dragged out every August by Labour stuck in the 1940s class war.
Sorry, if I was stating the obvious. Not everyone picks up on the date. I think you are right, he is playing to a particular audience. Such is politics at the moment.

How many 'disastrous' unsuccessful GE campaigns will it take before JC realises that Labour, under him, is unelectable though!

2 will be it.
He's only fought 1 in 2017 and got 40% of the public vote in a multi party system, no mean feat after polling suggested a big defeat. Appreciate he hasn't kicked on at all since then and has likely gone backwards last year or so but he may well be hanging on to that 2017 performance for hope. I can't see him getting more than 34% next GE as things stand though. Has no control over his party (he did in 2017) and looking very old suddenly too, any fire in him seems to be dimming imo.
However the MMS are generally pro Tory/anti Labour so although you tend to see an awful lot of anti Corbyn stuff in the media it's votes that count, something May failed to anticipate last time, despite sneaking through. Johnson needs to be careful though, people could turn on him quick.
Diane abacus is keeping count so he’s on -84663864167 GE’s at the moment

Labour lose their deposit with only 152 votes in the Shetland by election [Holyrood]
If they had combined their vote with the Tory party into one candidate they would still have lost their deposit.

Is the vote a bit of a poke in the eye for all those saying everyone North of the wall is desperate for independence? Healthy margin over the nationalists...
