@@occamraiser Yeah, same here. Corbyn would have been a great leader if the UK was Czechoslovakia and the year was 1952. Apparently missed the last 50 years of politics entirely, and still believed that what people actually wanted was some insane radical socialist revolution. Even after he got beaten by the most repugnant tories in the history of the tory party. I blame Brexit on Corbyn as much as I blame it on Johnson and Cameron. He never truly campaigned for remain, because he is such a marxist idiot with fantasies of the UK seceding from the capitalist world order and becoming a proletarian paradise, that he didn't realise how much of a complete and utter disaster leaving the EU would be for the ordinary people he pretended to represent. He wasted alomst 10 years of Labour's time with his radical leftwing crap: at a time when the conservatives were univervally hated by everyone he managed to lose them not one but 2 elections, plus a referendum (of course he never wanted to win that referendum).

Unfortunately, such laudible aims were anathema to the people who really run this country, and their allies across the pond and elsewhere. Not to mention base and craven traitors in Corbyn's own camp. This is why we have a government as corrupt, venal and pointless as the one we have now, and a so-called opposition that agrees absolutely with them, from the genocide in Gaza, to the persecution of refugees, to the destruction of what remains of our democracy, to the utter dereliction of our towns and cities.

[@minsapint8621]

After the Israelis had beaten up Palestinian worshippers in a mosque in Palestine and ethnically cleansed Palestinian Arabs from their homes in Palestine to make way for foreign Israeli Jews, Starmer’s response was to make a speech at Labour Friends of Israel denouncing BDS. He actively supports racism, apartheid, ethnic cleansing and war crimes. If you accept Biden’s definition of genocide in his speeches about Russia in Ukraine, Starmer supports genocide.

Gordon Brown was tipped to have bern John Smith's successor. If he had been Prime Minister he would have bern better than Blair and better than he was when he eventually took over in 2007 and had to spend a lot of time clearing up the mess Blair left for him as well as deal with a global recession. In Cardiff the Lib Dems won more seats than any other party in the local elections in 2004 so they formed a coalition with Plaid Cymru but they had to spend the first few years clearing up the mess left by Russell Goodway the Labour Council leader who had been a dictator. So much money was wasted on public relations by him so much of the infrastructure had been neglected. There were banners everywhere with 'Cardiff. Europe's youngest capital' on it which was a blatant lie. Also a newsletter delivered to every home about what the council was doing but glossing over what they were not doing. The green bag scheme had been decimated so the Lib Dems and Plaid Cymrunhad to bring it back but with different rules. The pedestrianised streets in the city centre had to be repaired. There was a lot of demolition and construction going on as planning permission had been given all over the city for redevelopment. A new indoor shopping mall was built full of empty shops as they couldn't find enough tenants.

SPFWB was Alexei's catch phrase and he should use it when talking about Starmer. I is a disaster that the Tories have betrayed their manifesto pledges when they got a huge majority in 2019 but Labour is not fit to run the country. Vote like you did in the last EU MEP election and get Reform in in power or you will regret it.

Reform? Cack

Corbyn probably would not be happy about this. He never does personal abuse. I dont think it helps though it makes us all feel better.

[@1258-Eckhart]

True, but Corbyn always aspires to office, where such behaviour (with the huge exception of Boris Johnson, whose PMQ's consisted of personally belittling the opposition) is inappropriate. For a stand-up comedian and cabarettist like Alexei however, entirely correct and indeed desirable.
