Jeremy Corbyn in Southport today ...

[Desert Region]

We're just having a laugh. I think you'll find the target of most of the joking around is Hamble, who is joining in as much as the rest of us.

Just because we might be on different sides of the fence politically, doesn't mean we have to be sworn enemies. A sense of humour is far more important than red or blue.

There are plenty of other threads where you can go hammer and tongs with the opposition

Very true. (Although in saying that I believe I've already breached one of the rules of Rees-Mogg's writing style guide! And again!)

I notice it's as difficult a task to find a photo of Jeremy joking around, as it is to find a photo of Boris looking serious. I've often thought Jeremy would enjoy more success in the Commons if he employed a sense of humour - with said sense of humour of course receiving a living wage, full union membership, and a suitable plot of land for non-commercial gardening.

Jeremy's dourness and Theresa's dreariness was a match made in the dark, illuminating no-one.

People forget (and this is Blair's own fault) the power of Blair's razor-sharp wit, especially in that he deployed in the Parliamentary bear-pit, and the effect that this had in consolidating his standing.

Some on the left never forgave themselves for having an electable leader.

They happily returned to endless opposition and when the Miiliband boys arrived they of course picked the one most likely to keep them in perpetual whingedom in opposition.

Today they have packed the cabinet with vote losers, despite the dour May and seemingly endless bashing of the poor they lost again.

Boris the dysfunctional one has already surged in the polls and he is not offering diddly to your average joe except a dose of democracy.

He doesn't look a riot at parties, does he? I've listened to him at rallies several times, each for 30 minutes or more. I don't remember needing a change of kex because I laughed that much. A wry smile was the best he mustered.

Mind you, I don't see Fat Al having a career in stand up. I can imagine him at the dispatch box declaring 'My friends, the Honourable gentleman crumbled like the Persian forces at the Battle of the Granicus'...uneasy silence...Rees Mogg coughs up a puny 'oh yes. Ha. Very good'...which is his version of rolling around on the floor, clutching his sides.

I imagine Thornberry, on the other hand, would be pure acid, calling into question the size of the manhood of every bloke on the front bench and swearing as much as Parliamentary rules would allow. She is a riot when she speaks at events, particularly private ones.

At least politics would be entertaining, instead of 'OMG, WTF are they doing now?'.

Milliband was rubbish as a Labour leader.
Apart from that the least likely candidate to woo back the block Muslim vote abstained in General Election vote as a direct result of Blair/Labours invasion of Iraq.

Dig out pro Palestine Corbyn and Boom!

most unlike mr smug to miss a self promotion opportunity.

Here we have Damien talking to one of the young conservatives

He was out canvassing.

Still makes me laugh. I must have watched that 20 times when it first happened.

How did he miss high five-ing Emily's breast?

That's the only thing that'd make the clip funnier. Plus I imagine she'd have decked him afterwards.

I do like Emily Thornberry.

[seivad]

I do like Emily Thornberry.

Me too. I'd like to see her as Labour's leader, as you know I'm not a fan of Corbyn... despite his interesting high fives.

I respect her as a politician.

Please please, having Thornberry as Labour leader from Steptoe to her continues the Labour comedy theme,

who can forget her trying to name a successful socialist country based on the Corbyn policies on question time,

Then for dessert there's Thornberry v Abbott.

Don't worry there are plenty more, Thornberry is the gift that keeps on giving.

Diane Abbott has racist thoughts of which when they spill she would deffo come under my '3 strikes and your out' policy.


Emily Thornberry seems a genuine person with the best intentions in politics
Just a shame that being in the Labour Party she has to come to terms with Socialism looking better on paper.
