They really aren't even trying to win this election. :hehe:

I think it's great he seems set on staying no matter the result. Surely we're going to see a new party formed between now and the next election if that's the case?

It seems inevitable. His last day is going to be like the Fuhrerbunker, but with sandals.

I wonder where their money trees are growing, b. There must be forest of them somewhere off Victoria Street.

Didn't the Labour party give him this campaign because it was un-winnable & will mean that he forces himself into retirement?

I saw some large graffitti on the train route I take to work.

it said. 'Corbyn is the first politician to tell the truth, register to vote'

I will see this ever morning for the next month will it have an influence?
I wouldn't be surprise if he did it himself actually.

Here's their money tree, according to the Institute for Fiscal Studies : If you earn less than 80k you'll be fine. :thumbup:

Well quite a large section of it tried to make sure he didn't get "given" the campaign - the ones who gave it to him were the members who believe he can win it. Don't think after the referendum the election was unwinnable for Labour - the Tories were in disarray. What made it unwinnable was Corbyn and his comrades

No doubt there will be a hugely funny take off from that scene in Downfall depicting it b.

Clegg, Cable and Blair are openly talking about a New party - would imagine quite a lot of groundwork will have been done. Tim Farron to lead? :hehe: Only joking

Clegg, Cable, Blair and Farron. Hardly the Gang of Four, is it? At least Owen, Steele, Williams and the other bloke had some credibility.

Poor Bill Rodgers - doesn't even come up when you look for his name on Wikipedia. Supposed to be a very good play on recently about the foundation of the SDP - Limehouse. I know you like that sort of thing

Nothing could do a breakaway party more damage than to be seen to have Blair and Clegg pulling the strings, though. Apart from both being disliked and discredited, it would essentially be seen as an elitist anti-Brexit party and would never gain broader traction.

I haven't heard Woy Jenkins called that before.

Obviously the 'other' bloke is Bill Rodgers. He was always the other bloke.

I almost want Tony Blair to come back so he can crash and burn. Again.
