Although I still don't see what would be wrong with Cooper other than that no one likes her for reasons that aren't immediately clear. cooper isn't running. she's the smartest politician in the mix, and would have had my vote, but i think she realised she didn't have the support - too tainted for her time working in the "tory-lite" cabinet - you know, that terrible period when labour won three elections and changed people's lives for the better. god forbid we go back to those days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 21813 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 i think Thornberry would probably be a disaster too - her comments about flags of st george will go down like a sack of shit with exactly the kind of voter labour needs to come back. i'm starting to think nandy might be the dark horse. she is the only candidate apparently understands why corbyn failed - she called it before the election tbf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 17079 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 I do not want Jess Phillips as Labour leader. She's how I'd be if I was a politician...lightweight, superficial and lacking intellect. A fuckin show pony. RLB is unelectable for different reasons. Cooper is very good, and if Starmer wins she'll be Home Secretary. Which is another good reason to vote for him. Pity he was a remainder, that will count against him....

Dr Gloom 21813 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 RLB on Corbyn: "I’d give him 10 out of 10, because I respect him and I supported him all the way through. What we can’t ignore was that Jeremy was savaged from day one by the press ... We have a role as party to develop the image of our leader and to put them forward in the most positive way, but we also have a duty to rebut criticism and attacks. As a party we needed to have a rebuttal unit, a clear structure in place to rebut the attacks against him." 10 out of 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She’s a fucking cretin man. In what world does leading your party to its worst electoral performance in almost a century merit a score of ten out of ten?

Rayvin 5183 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 (edited) Terrorist: A person who uses unlawful violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, for political gain. If the guy Trump assassinated is a terrorist, then the US armed forces are all terrorist organisations, and Obama was a terrorist who commissioned acts of terror against the middle east. Also, Trump is actually attempting to present himself as the textbook definition of one. I get why it's important in some ways that Corbyn pretends that the guy is a terrorist so that the braindead can avoid outrage, but I'm coming close to the limit of what I'm prepared to tolerate in terms of bullshit just to get them on board, and it's been less than a month. He's completely right about everything he says there. Edited January 7, 2020 by Rayvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't think he deserves the label of terrorist? Regardless of whether he does or not it's further evidence that Corbyn was a terrible candidate for PM.

Gemmill 44398 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 If RLB wins the leadership, the Labour Party should just break up.

And both sides need each other sadly, a new group under Starmer won't win without those who want RLB. Same vice versa obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean the US was funding ISIS at one point. All i'm saying is that if he gets the label of terrorist then so do they. And the fact that no fucker wants to realise that reveals that it is simply a politically useful term for designating "people the US don't like" more than anything genuinely objective. Look at Syria. It's evidence he would have been a terrible PM because he would have been truthful about this point. And heaven fucking knows how dangerous it is to actually point out the hypocrisy of the West. We need leaders who are going to pretend we are righteous. Fucking hell man, you may be right about this in terms of his suitability but it's more evidence that this country and the world in general is just fucking depressing. The notion of having someone who believes in abiding by international law who urges restraint, and who is strong enough to call out bullshit by the most powerful nation on earth is terrible. Far better we have a quisling. Edited January 8, 2020 by Rayvin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far better we have a quisling. You’re not wrong about lots of this, but it’s whataboutery. He was a terrorist - why not just say it? Failing to do so while condemning our allies isn’t a vote winner, other than with the stop the war coalition fringe. Must people in this country aren’t pacifists and the next leader has to at least pretend to be tough on defence and security. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21813 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 And I think you can abide by international law and urge restraint in a more pragmatic way. Corbyn always defends the terrorists on the other side to the west. Has he ever spoken with the Israelis or the Ulster unionists? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
