Oldham West by election: Result Special...

[Bry Nylon]

So, is Jezza marching towards Number 10...?

I'll be interested in the percentage turnout. It's bound to be higher than usual because Corbyn has ignited huge interest in those put off by traditional politics and so they will be out in force tonight voting for this new way in British politics.

Is that REALLY Jeremy Corbyn's brother on This Week...?

Bloody hell, Jezza's the normal one...

Jeremy Corbyn's brother is on the TV now - looks even more scruffy if that's possible

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Is it Piers Corbyn?

Now that, perhaps like this by election result, is a close call, the dress sense is a close call as well, i bet Diane Abbott has the hots as well.

Yes, it is.

I've seen better dressed wounds.

Is that a Pompey tie? It's strange enough

I've seen better dressed wounds.

And I've dressed most of them, and they were shockers by the time I'd finished!

You sure... looked like ancient ruins to me.

>40% turnout.
That's pretty high for a by election.
Guardian reporting 62% labour.

Pompey it is then

Labour 1.01 on the machine

Corbyn's older brother is a tin-pot conspiracy theorist. Utterly bizarre performance.

 

[Pavilionaire]

3 voters in 5 couldn't be arsed. An indictment of Labour, or UK politics in general?

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Yes, it is.

Piers is a character in weather forecasting circles, and was the original Daily Express weather scarmonger, with his special techniques for weather forecasting (never clarified, but to do with sun spots I believe). He's also a vocal climate change denier.

He makes his brother look well dressed. He is definitely the less rational member of the family.
