    Jess Phillips is a gobshite, reminds me of Gary Neville.

    I lolled at this in the Times:

    As the minutes passed to 10pm, when the polls closed, the team members gave their predictions. At the back of the room Dominic Cummings, the architect of Vote Leave campaign’s success in 2016, scrawled 359 on the sheet, characteristically the most bullish of all. It would mean a majority of 68. Lee Cain, Johnson’s spin doctor, went for a majority of 30.
    He's living in all our heads rent-free.

    Johnson's first priorities are abolishing the fixed term parliament act and redrawing constituency boundaries to 600, effectively cementing himself a decade long reign unless he really fucks this up.

    Ah the classic game of (my least favourite party) is gerrymandering the boundaries to rig the next election but when (my favourite party) did it last time it was totally justified.

    People waste a lot of air on process and electoral system. Everyone starts the day on nought.

    Sounds a bit like Arlenes sudden issue with electoral pacts (when they don’t work out for her).

    I'm all aboard for reducing the number of constituencies, but there is something in the criticism of doing them on voter numbers rather than population. It's probably worth the chimp out though so whatever.

    I think Lammy is smart enough to know where his ceiling is and that he would be exposed as a useless wanker on the national stage, so I imagine it'll be Keir Starmer and his disturbing haircut to take on the sparrows.
    All depends on if the PLP can withstand the calls to put a Corbynista in the running, if they do end up giving Momentum their way then it'll be more Corbynism, since these 18 year old students ran across the drawbridge when memberships were £3 and pulled it up as soon as Corbyn faced any sort of challenge.

    As for who I want, I've always been a fan of Starmer but the next leader is likely to be a woman and if that's the case I'd prefer Rayner. If Mong-Bailey or Burgon (aka the moron's moron) are anywhere near running I'll end up having to join another party.

    This brouhaha between Flint and Thornberry is quite funny. The problem dear old Emily has is that, regardless of whether she made those comments or not, they are the sort of thing you could well imagine her saying.

    Did Zac Goldsmith lose again or did he not stand? I was confused when I realised the other day that he'd actually managed to win his seat back in 2017.

    That's a fucked up seat. 2015, in. 2016, out. 2017, back in again. 2019 out again. The ultimate non-bell-weather by the looks of it.

    'If I ever manage to gain control of number ten'



    Richmond Park is the worst. An enclave of the worst kind of luvvyism. Almost a full constituency of people who talk a good game but have never experienced any kind of difficulty in their lives. Neighbouring Twickenham and Kingston also persistently return Lib Dems, and the disease nearly spread across the river to Esher this time - it's a little triangle of overprivileged scum. People are incredibly prosperous, but, being on the rich edge of London, have had to culturally align themselves to political correctness in order to keep their oh-so-important lives on track. Prosperous people in the rest of the country vote Tory, but these guys think they're too good for that - they don't vote Labour, of course, so the Lib Dems are a wonderful get-out option which allows them to keep all their money but also continue to feel morally superior to other parts of the country where people don't have it all on a plate.

    I think Richmond Park was something like 77% Remain, which sums it all up really. Just a few miles south, a few miles west and a few miles north there are Leave constituencies.

    Zac got in a couple of times because he opposed Heathrow expansion (obviously in NIMBY central, couldn't have those house prices affected by plane noise), Tories will never win there again.

    It's hard to disagree with that in regards to Richmond Park. When I lived and worked there the difference between North Wales and there was like night and day although even then I spoke to more supposed 'Leavers' than 'Remainers' so it was a surprise to see how high a percentage voted to stay in.

    Just the sight of your average Joe spending more in the pub in one afternoon than most around here would earn in a week was a little disheartening if I'm honest. Very nice and friendly people though.

    Zac Goldsmith is the personification of late-stage capitalism.

    Only real job he's worked was at a magazine owned by a family friend (or was it his Dad?), goes into politics where the only impact he makes is failing to achieve the only thing he was vocal about, loses twice, becomes a Lord.

    Start with money and it is impossible to throw it away. A whole generation of idiots constantly failing upwards.

    Corbyn stood in Parliament yesterday, after presiding over one of the worst political campaigns and outcomes in all of human history is one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever seen.

    Presumably it hasn’t twigged with him yet that by being there he does more good for the Tories than his own party.

    Might as well leave him there forever then.

    As summed up by Blair, the party need to move on from him and his wankery as soon as possible or die, having him and his abject failure hanging around isn't good for anyone. He should have no influence on where the party goes from here. None.

    He won three elections. He knows what he's talking about and he knows the hard work it takes to dislodge a sitting government.

    Corbyn presided over handing Boris a majority of first term landslide proportions, on the back of the Conservatives being inept for most of the last nine years.

    The party machinery is in the hands of cranks, the new MPs are mostly cranks, and then you have the crank membership. Even if Keir Starmer or some other 'moderate' goon becomes leader they will still end up having a load of mental shit forced on them by the party conference.

    20 years ago maybe. What the fuck does Tony Blair know about the common man nowadays? The poorest person he's probably talked to in the last 10 years probably earns in excess of 100k a year.

    And ultimately, while I'd have never voted for Corbyn it's hugely unhealthy for a sitting party to have been this inept yet been in power for so long, let alone have a majority of the size they do. They need an opposition.

    And for all my Facebook feed being full of people saying Tory voters need to own what they've done, the individual with the highest level of culpability for a Tory majority that will ultimately see them now do what the fuck they please is Jeremy Corbyn.

    I don't know why people, all people, can't see this. Given the context it's a political failure of previously unseen proportions and it's like people are burying their heads in the sand over it.

    A damn site more than a plank who has just handed the Tories an 80 seat majority.

    Do you not see the scale of failure here and what that means?

    They will if he continues to influence things. If you're cool with that then maybe you're not bothered about all of the injustice in the UK after all.

    I'll say it again. There's not an election for five years.

    You didn't answer the question. What will he be influencing between now and 3 months from now that will affect the election five years from now?
