[Politics] Next leader of the Labour party

[Hastings gull]

You mean nothing in The Sun before you turn the pages to do the sudoko on the puzzle pages?

But it really has gone quiet over the last few weeks, so was your infantile comment really necessary?

As it happens, [MENTION=451]BensGrandad[/MENTION] and I had a discussion about the Sun where he said he loves the suduko. He'll get the joke hopefully and not take offense or consider it infantile.

What you doing on the Labour leader thread anyway, there's plenty of other threads for you to be getting offended at on behalf of others.

You must remember the old saying little things please people with little minds, so it is not a problem.

aka snide bullying, especially if a differing political is held.

I do not take offense at such posts so it is not a problem to me and I do admit I do read The Sun sports section and do their sudukos as well as saving the vouchers for a £9.50 holiday. Incidentally we have changed our minds about France due to my health so we are going to Ilfracombe instead as wife says easier for medical help if needed.

Your resilience is remarkable.

That's because it wasn't intended to offend. [MENTION=21158]Weststander[/MENTION], it wasn't snide, and certainly not bullying, it was just a reference to another thread BG started. Wasn't infantile either. You must have your sensitivity dials turned up too high (not you BG, far too sensible to be offended).....https://nortr3nixy.nimpr.uk/showthread.php?377497-Sun-%A39-50-holidays

Ilfracombe, such a stunning part of the country. We were just up the road last summer in Minehead. Hopefully the brisk Atlantic sea air will do you some good (and hopefully not blow the Sun sports pages away...).

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Surely not, Harry.
'Our brilliant Beccy' as named by the old ghoul McDonnell, is getting quite a bit of stick, bordering on piss taking in some of the media, or that is the impression I get.
You may be right though, if enough lunatics have taken over .........you know the rest!

Piss take you say?

 

[BensGrandad]

When we had our campervan, before selling it, we visited Ilfracombe and liked it so going back. for a spot of nostalgia.

Hove CLP nominate Starmer as leader, Raynor as deputy.

Thought they’d been taken over by the all powerful Momentum from the posts on here?

Burgon got the lowest votes 1st round for deputy and was eliminated, Kier beat LB in the 2nd round for leader with twice the number of votes.

Newsnight, just started, has the 4 candidates together for questioning.

Nandy and Thornberry just said they knew all along that Labour were going to lose the GE. Thornberry said she told “them”, but wasn’t listened to.

Just turned over, I like a comedy program

Nandy actually talking sense, spot on in her analysis of the GE disaster and very honest.

RLB it is then.

 

[Beach Hut]

Blonde one is too corporate, Thornberry is a fruitcake, Starmer is smarmy so whoever the brunette is should be elected

I thank you

 

[Weststander]

All now want to be really tough on Labour anti semites and said they’d failed on that. Why weren’t they so assertive and open on that before the GE? Instead very defensive and whataboutism.

 

[Biscuit Barrel]

My God. If these are the 4 best options to lead the Labour party, they are going to be in opposition for another generation.

It's as if they just haven't realised that the anti-Semitism row had nothing to do with losing the election. They'd let down their core vote left right and centre, both on Brexit, and by being a London-centric chattering-classes Guardian-reading version of Labour which many Labour voters just didn't recognise - as well as producing a 'manifesto' that was actually a wish-list, which people saw right through.

Singularly, many items on the wish list were liked. But voters deemed it not credible/affordable in its entirity.

Yes, exactly. Free this, that and the other would be very popular ........ sadly just unbelievable. TBH, though, if they could deliver 'the other' free I'd be tempted!
