SERIOUSLY, EVEN DIE-HARD CORBYN SUPPORTERS WOULD FIND IT HARD NOT TO BACK SOMEONE WHO AGREED WITH ALL OF CORBYN'S POLICIES BUT HAD PLP SUPPORT AND KNEW HOW TO TALK TO THE CAMERAS
tea’s gone cold
BUT OWEN SMITH

OWEN SMITH WHO IS OF THE LEFT BUT THINKS THERE'S TOO MANY IMMIGRANTS TAKING OUR JOBS
tea’s gone cold
OWEN SMITH WHO GOES ON ABOUT HIS CONNECTIONS TO THE CAMPAIGN FOR NUCLEAR DISARMAMENT BUT SUPPORTS BUILDING A LOAD OF NUCLEAR MISSILES
tea’s gone cold
BECAUSE 'TRUMP MIGHT GET ON THE NUCLEAR BUTTON'. OKAY, NUKE TRUMP, COOL, BUT, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW NUCLEAR POWERS WORK (HINT - THEY'RE NOT THE US AND THE UK)

TRIDENT BELONGS TO THE US.

obviously i hate nuclear missiles having played a lot of Metal Gear games in my time, but there is a case to be made for MAD (e.g. it basically worked). however, considering our missiles BELONG TO THE US and
tea’s gone cold
the huge amount of hot Trump-on-Putin action that will definitely, horribly happen
tea’s gone cold
this is a bullshit argument

anyway, i hope owen smith becomes leader so the historic labour loss won't be blamed on corbyn, except by the entire media and political analyst class
tea’s gone cold
i fear that if Corbyn loses the GE (which he will, but not because he's Corbyn - because ANYONE will) it'll give Labour no reason not to go full National Socialist, only without the socialism.
fairy lights
stinky stinky wee wee man

I'd never even heard of him before like.. the past few weeks honestly, he's such a non-entity

owen smith is not a blairite but he's a sort of blank slate into which PR can be applied.

AGAIN - I'd rather have a careerist obeying vaguely social democratic principles than what the Tories are becoming
fairy lights
yeeeah
tea’s gone cold
but it's so sickening how the overton window is so far to the right that Corbyn's thoroughly boring views are considered radical
tea’s gone cold
and that the institution of Labour is so busy trying to poach Tory voters that they can't even say "Tories are wrong", instead "Tories have some good points but I don't like their faces"
tea’s gone cold
so, what will happen. i don't know. i can only sit tight and vote well in the GE.
tea’s gone cold
I'm honestly, please forgive me for this candace, considering voting UKIP
tea’s gone cold
on the grounds that there's basically no chance of a UKIP PM, and my area is so disgustingly right-wing that UKIP might have a chance of unseating the Tories enough to spook them.

i hate FPTP

also, remember that thing I said a while ago about weird media sexism about Theresa May?
