So let me get this straight: Ken Livingstone has been appointed as joint chair of Labour's defence
review based on no expertise beyond the fact that he opposes Trident, causing yet more policy confusion and open infighting. The current chair of the defence review and shadow defence secretary was not consulted about this.
Shadow defence minister Kevan Jones then complained publicly about this, at which point Ken Livingstone decided it would be funny to counter with a slur about the man's publicly-acknowledged clinical depression.
Livingstone then refuses to apologise for this in interviews, only doing so later via twitter. He then follows this up by saying he only did so because he was told to by Corbyn and then basically distances himself from his own 'apology', bizarrely calling Kevan Jones 'Jeremy' several times in the process.
And still nobody knows what Labour's policy on Trident actually is.
:hehe: :clap: I am honestly struggling to find words to describe Labour at the moment, but 'omnishambles' and 'clusterf**k' are certainly right up there.
apparently, corbyn is only unpopular in the 'westminster bubble'. rest of the county loves him
still not asked my question to the pm whether boris was at the other end of the pig and did they high five when changing ends.
I can say with some certainty, having dealt with a suckling pig, that you'd get little joy from its
back end, since the sphincters have all been removed, meaning a lack of traction. Also, if it had been cooked, it would be rather dry.
How the devil are you, old chum? Still in Essex?
It's a rather amateurish affair - The appointment of Corbyn has surpassed my estimations on how
destructive it would be for the party. Surely they have to get rid of him now?
Labour are not going to be electable for decades :cloud9:
You forgot the genuinely hilariou John Mann interview with Andrew Neill
Andrew Neil: “Given Labour’s response to the issue of national security and Syria, do you have confidence in Jeremy Corbyn?â€
John Mann: “I have total confidence in Hilary Benn.â€
Andrew Neil: “So you have confidence in your foreign affairs
spokesman Hilary Benn, but not in your leader Jeremy Corbyn?â€
John Mann: “Jeremy has confidence in Hilary as well.â€
Andrew Neil: “But you can’t bring yourself to say you have confidence in Jeremy Corbyn.â€
John Mann: “I have huge confidence in Jeremy allowing Hilary to lead on Syria.â€
:clap:
I seem to recall a set of pretty sharp little teeth, as well.
In the front, naturally. I'm not claiming vagina dentata for the suckling pig.
I'm not sure the one we were dealing with wasn't a chap pig, though.
this is very good information. any other animals you've 'dealt with'? asking for a friend
i'm all good, IT network down at work so taken day off and killing time before doing a spot of shopping and perchance visiting the pub. wd the pub.
still in chelmsford. it's not bad, crawling with spurs and ukip though. hows things?
It's interesting how Cameron is giving him a relatively easy ride. He's like a boxer propping his
man up. The strategy is clearly to keep Corbyn in office for as long as possible, while every day he strips Labour of thousands more voters :clap:
