Nicely sums up pretty much everything that’s wrong with the media in relation to politics in this country. I do think Labour have made a few PR gaffes and have failed to communicate the reasons behind their decision making on a few occasions. But they’re inexperienced and look what they’re going up against 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 34193 Posted 16 hours ago Share Posted 16 hours ago To be fair to him, he was/is a fairly moderate social democrat who was eviscerated for the way he ate a bacon sandwich and was portrayed by most of the media as being just to the left of Leon Trotsky. Being yourself is probably difficult against that backdrop and he inherited the leadership at bad time too 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voters like that in a leader. Shame it was coached out of him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, he kind of did knife his brother in the back which contradicts Mr Nice guy somewhat and was quite the sliding doors moment imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was likable mind, I met him a couple of times before he betrayed his brother. Never revealed any ambitions to be leader just two years prior to that.
