Jeremy Corbyn

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...

To understand a bit about this bye-election result you need to understand Shetlanders and their nationality sentiments - then look at the change in votes % of SNP and LibDems, and then also consider the performance of the main UK Unionist Parties - 579 votes in total in a turnout of nearly 12,000

I think how few posts are being written about him is indicative of how ineffective an opposition leader and sort of invisible he's now become, especially compared to 2 years ago.

The other more minor opposition party leaders seem to get heard better as does Farage who's party aren't even in UK Parliament. You only hear about him when Boris or Gove have a tricky question they can't answer so deflect to Corbyn bashing instead.
 
Irrespective of who and what won. The acceptance speech of the winning MP, she slated the SNP for its bullying tactics and said its time to deliver on its false promises. Sounds to me like Krankie should be focusing a bit more on her own house before looking next door.

Does that include JC saying Willie Rennie-MacIntosh [instead of Charles]
Willie Rennie is the leader of the Scottish branch of the Lib Dems.

Today Corbyn is saying that he will build a new railway in the North.
Calm down Inverness folk, he means Liverpool to Hull in the Southern Midlands.
 
Jeremy Corbyn asked the Queen, "Your Majesty, how do you run such an efficient organisation? Are there any tips you can give me?"
"Well," said the Queen, "The most important thing is to surround yourself with intelligent people." Jeremy Corbyn then asked, "But how do I know if the people around me are really intelligent?" The Queen took a sip of tea. "Oh, that's easy; you just ask them to answer an intelligent riddle, watch me and listen" The Queen pushed a button on her intercom. "Please send Prince Charles in here, would you?"
Prince Charles walked into the room and said, "Yes, Mother? The Queen smiled and said to Charles, "Answer me this please Charles. Your mother and father have a child. It is not your brother and it is not your sister. Who is it?" Without pausing for a moment, Prince Charles answered "That would be me." "Yes, very good!" Said the Queen. Ah ha I get it said Jeremy, thank you Ma'am. And in a great rush he left.
Corbyn went back to Parliament and decided to ask Diane Abbott the same question. "Diane, answer this for me." "Your mother and your father have a child. It's not your brother and it's not your sister. Who is it?" "I'm not sure," said Abbott. And then in true Diane Abbott style she went on to say. "Let me get back to you on that one." She went to her advisers and asked everyone, but none could give her an answer.
Frustrated, Diane went for a coffee and met Nigel Farage. "Nigel, see if you can answer this question." "Yes Diane" replied Nigel. "Your mother and father have a child and it's not your brother or your sister. Who is it?" Farage immediately answered, "That's easy, it's me!" Abbott grinned, and said, "Good answer Nigel, I see it all now!"
Abbott then, went back to find Corbyn and said to him; "Jeremy, I did some research, and I have the answer to that riddle." "If your mother and father have a child who is not your brother or your sister, the child is Nigel Farage!" Corbyn went red in the face, got up, stomped over to Abbott, and yelled in her face, "No! You bloody idiot! It's Prince Charles!
. . . AND THAT MY FRIENDS IS PRECISELY WHY LABOUR IS DOING SO BADLY.
 
Do I prefer a Corbyn-led Labour Government or leaving with No Deal under Johnson? I'm inclined to go for the amendment proposed to today's bill by 17 Labour MPs - a vote on May's final Brexit Deal. How that might come about I have no idea. But Corbyn...? hmmm,

...because they tell crap jokes?
 
I can see why a 'Janus' Corbyn might think a good idea sitting on the fence in respect of a future Brexit confirmation referendum - and how that might play with voters in an election before such a referendum was held. But it doesn't wash for me. How can I vote for a party who's leader won't tell us of where his referendum vote would go. In my thinking the outcome of Brexit will have a huge impact on government policies - money spent mitigating the mess and negative impacts of leaving can't be spent anywhere else. Of course the financing of his policy statements for a GE would be bolstered by the £350m/week we'd have of all went swimmingly after leaving - but I'd be a wee bit sceptical of that.
 
Fence sitting not doing much good :

Westminster voting intention: CON: 32% (-) LDEM: 23% (+4) LAB: 21% (-2) BREX: 14% (-) GRN: 4% (-3) via @YouGov

Do they give any indication of what that means in terms of seats won?

Predicting will be a bit of a 'mare. Might take some clever Monte Carlo simulation - as is used to model the probability of different outcomes in a process that cannot easily be predicted due to the intervention of random variables.

And there are a lot of random variables in play at the moment and that will apply for the next GE.
 
A pal of mine who I regularly have spats with on FB is Jezzas love child. Am sure of it. He states Jezza has only changed his mind once on Brexit coz the party voted on it so he had to. Yet he wonders why people cannot have a
decent conversation with him.
