    When the Tories inexplicably win the next election it will be because of the untold amounts of foot shooting like this.

    Ah yes, Corbyn, the man who sat back and lost his second election, consequently letting Brexit happen… what a great politician

      ‘How dare he not be in office!’ is always a fucking stupid sentiment.

      Stop blaming the people you kinda like for the actions of unrelated bastards.

        He should have united with the lib dems to advocate a second ref. But sat back and didn’t. If he cannot beat Boris at an election then why would he be a decent PM?

          Boris had a party breaking election campaign spending laws employing Cambridge Analytica to do last minute targeted Facebook ads.

                It is when you lose an election and allow the would-be criminals to muck up the country

          Are you importing our shitty American propaganda now? ‘She lost to someone actively evil, so she must be worse.’

          Arsonists get into power and you blame the fires on the firefighters.

            He obviously was worse if he lost. That’s how elections work.

              Then Brexit was the right answer. Yeah? More votes equals better choice.

              No worse option has ever won an election. Apparently.

      I’m no political analyst, but I imagine everything he does is to try and win back votes from the Tories

        Which won’t happen. The Lib Dems will get the disgruntled Tory vote, as per always. All he’s doing is depressing turnout.

        A pineapple could beat the Tories at the next election but he is desperately trying to follow the Dems and gift it to proto-fascists.
