The end of the Labour party

[Hairyloon]

Er... yes. There was a split around 1982 involving several senior Labour Party MPs and quite a lot of the membership. They called it the SDP, which soon imploded and they joined another sad bunch called the Liberals. Almost 40 years later they have a grand total of about 10 MPs.

 

Times have changed a touch in 40 years.

They have, and thankfully we're getting rid of an ideology that was imposed on us 40 years ago.

just seen Jeremy on the news giving a speech at a Durham Miners meeting , well , I loosely call it a speech it was more of a rabble rousing tirade . Why does he feel the need to give a rabble rousing tirade at these kind of meetings ?, surely it is speaking to the converted ?

If May was wildly popular would you argue she couldn't hold events to engage with supporters?

He got criticised for engaging with the middle class at Glastonbury and now he's getting criticised for engaging with the working class at Durham. This Corbyn bloke seems to be converting a lot of people to his cause doesn't he?

He's doing a fine job as the leader of the Labour Party.

Why shouldn't opposition leaders hold events for their supporters?

 

Just be honest - Corbyn's popularity increases by the day while May's popularity decreases by the day, and you're irritated and uncomfortable to be reminded of it.

 

May will be gone soon, and hopefully her corrupt and rotten cabal of dodgy ministers with her.
