But didn't they WIN the last one?
Anyway, for the next one they should rename themselves to Momentum. I think them 'trading' under the name Labour is false advertisement.

Watching and listening to Corbyn yesterday evening I couldn't help but get distracted by the fact that his glasses were all over the place - all skew-whiff. Now that means little other than being indicative of someone who doesn't care about what he looks like - that his spectacle frame is badly twisted - in my experience this is usually as a result of my sitting on them - and that is often due to my forgetfulness. Yes trivial - but for me the optics are just not good. It just looks silly and funny. He's in the public eye and open to any form of criticism - so don't present open goals for ridicule.
And yes - I have much more important issues with Corbyn.

I'm sure they'll do it as soon as the conservatives rebrand more honestly as The ERG Brexit Party.

Seem to remember you also had things to say about May's leather trousers.... I do wonder who is ridiculing who? And again, "judge unto others..."

I note JC rubbished the 'deal yesterday almost 30min before it was published - he must have used Momentum's crystal ball!

It's probably the ghost of Maggie pulling them off.

That's an awful image to put in anyone's head. No sane person wants to be "pulled off" by Maggie or her ghost. 😀

Corbyn aide …….Jeremy loves jumping on a train to obscure places like the West of England [?] and Orkney [??]
Forgetting of course that the West of England is not really obscure to most folk and that Beeching cut the Wick to Kirkwall line in 1964.

Does he really? He can’t find a seat on a half empty train, why would he do that to himself?

For me both main parties are too far removed from what they were just a few years ago and should be renamed. In my opinion both need to split into their extreme and their center wings. People with decades in one of those parties getting thrown out because they are not extreme enough? The 21 rebel Tory MPs and Alistair Campbell are just the obvious ones and there is more on base level.I'm sure they'll do it as soon as the conservatives rebrand more honestly as The ERG Brexit Party.

Anywhere outside the M25 is obscure to Labour Cabinet Members....

I wasn't ridiculing - but wonky spectacles to me just suggest carelessness. If my glasses were badly twisted and I had an interview or important customer meeting I'd make an effort to have them straightened up. And I think he now has...or are they new?
Yes - this sort of stuff doesn't really matter in the great scheme of things - but it's a bit like standing on the steps of #10 with your shoes all scuffed and unpolished...(can't think who might do that...). If impressions matter then don't make it easy...
Meanwhile as a GE looms I am still not getting Corbyn...he might be a fabulous orator in front of a receptive audience - but in day-to-day interviews what he says and how he says it just don't have an air of authenticity to me...I frankly don't believe in him as I might another Labour Party Leader.
Valid points. We have some PM's that have been exceptionally shiny and spruced up recently. Not sure they've really performed as good as they've looked. Equally, Johnson often looks like a bag of spanners yet, so far, he's performed better than I expected. Considering the hand he's been dealt with, a minority govt, a split party, and a deal that wouldn't be opened or a backstop that wouldn't be changed... I'd give hm 6/10.
Still wouldn't vote for him but I'll grudgingly admit he's not doing bad. Bit like Sturgeon, not my cup of tea or politics but cutting it.

JC just made a stupid statement saying that students can't vote if the election is in December. Does he mean students won't be able to vote in two constituencies like they have in the past.

There were instances at the last election that were reported on that some students were registered and voted in both their home and university constituency.

Again, Proof or are saying only Labour Students? as I’m sure there are student tory supporters.
Anyone doing that should be done, but come on Labour do reasonably well in towns were there are large Universities, do you honest believe them or any Party if the roles were reserved wouldn’t try and ensure they are able to vote in an election?
