No. The quality that's missing from Corbyn, that Blair had infinite amounts of, is discipline.

Tony Blair got to the top of the Labour Party with the kind of discipline that Corbyn has never learnt.
Corbyn became Labour leader by accident. He never expected to get the job, and he never wanted it. It just came his way by crazy fortune, and he has staggered around ever since in a clueless muddle.
And it's that complete absence of discipline that most resembles Trump. They both came in the same way, as a clownish escapade, and neither of them has shown any sign of even the basic maturity for the job.
Donald Trump is a racist piss take. He's like white people boasting how shit they can be and still get away with it.

We're not expecting a withdrawal agreement on October 18th, but another Euco is pencilled in for November 15th - just in case.
But the stupidity of English politics . . . We'd better go through this properly so we all understand what's what.
The "deal" we're talking about - but anyone using that word has no right to call themself a journalist - is a withdrawal agreement. Just that, and nothing more.
When they say a "deal" can be done, what they mean is complete a withdrawal agreement.
And that's the easy part, remember. Withdrawal agreement. Could have done that at any time in the last two years.
That's what Article 50 is for: Complete a withdrawal agreement

Theresa May is the global village idiot, and English political journalism would embarrass a three year old.
There is a problem with BBC news. The BBC has always been a bit inflated with this image of itself as the journal of national record.
And what they've done in Brexit is they've adopted government posture. To the extent they've almost become a propaganda outfit.
The BBC has chosen, quite politically, to disregard the European Union as a valid source of information.
And that has left the country entirely ignorant because it turns out the European Union has been providing valid information.

Like playing chess with the gods. Everything is exactly set. Scotland ready to split, Labour led by a crank who would nationalise everything and break up the country, and the Tories with no majority and dependant on the DUP.
Theresa May is checkmated.
You wasted two years on junk news, but you were always being forced to this point.

The Conservative Party sacks Theresa May and abandons Brexit, or they will destroy the whole country.

That's the choice.
Okay, I underestimated people's stupidity. Because I could already see how this was going to end two years ago, I thought everyone else would as well.

For the confused amongst you, I'm looking at you Blakeley, this is the basic economics of the situation.

The UK imports 50% of the food we consume.

When the £ falls in value against the $ & the Euro, the price of food we import from USA & EU rises, purely because you get ...
... fewer dollars and Euros to the pound.

You may be familiar with this concept, Grace, if you've ever been on holiday abroad, perhaps for a spot of skiing, at a time of currency fluctuations and had to exchange the £ for the Euro and then back again.
A general rise in prices, Blakeley, is what economists call inflation.

Ah, you say, but we were only talking about food.

True, but oil is priced in dollars so when the £ falls in value against dollar then, for example. the cost of transporting goods goes up across the economy.

Why is it the Tories make the case for true conservatism so hard, especially in the time of #Corbyn and #McDonnell the rise and stupidity of the extreme Far Left it should be the easiest time for them to do it? #TheBattleforBrexit Thread 1/10
When I was younger, the Conservatives were the party of aspiration, law and order people if they wanted to improve their lot in life voted Conservative, you wanted a small state and low taxes and if you worked hard you were successful. 2/10
If you were lazy, feckless or belonged to a union and had no real ambition then you voted Labour because you wanted a big, nanny state because you were someone who wanted to be infantilized and never grow up because you were incapable of taking care of yourself. 3/10

THREAD: I think we need to talk about the lefts stance on Party rebirth, & the holier than thou attitude that #Labour has on #libdems & tuition Fees. Given the rise of the far right & how much we actually agree on we really should be working together, so lets try to clear this up
For many of us @LibDems, we left @UKLabour when they voted & took us into Iraq.
Now the Labour left make the argument that Labour is not the same party that it was with Blair, & because Corbyn voted against Iraq; all must be forgiven. The party should be allowed to start afresh.
Fair enough. But if this was the case, why was Tim Farron nailed to the tuition fees cross by Labour campaigners at the last election? He voted AGAINST Fees in the same way Corbyn voted against Iraq.

After my tweet below & the Times article today, I wondered if it was just a one-off, this support by a former Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan for Mr Corbyn?
It wasn't.

(Thread) To all @UKLabour candidates in the upcoming May local elections:

Unfortunately I will not be able to vote for you as a representative of the Labour Party; this is despite having been a #Labour voter myself in the past. Please allow me to explain briefly my reasons why.
After the sacking of Owen Smith, I cannot vote for @UKLabour in any shape or form at the moment due to Jeremy Corybn's approach towards #Brexit which I view as highly undemocratic and contradictory to what the Labour party is meant to stand for ("for the many, not the few"?).
The attitude towards #Brexit by @jeremycorbyn and other hardcore Brexiteers like him really is now bordering on the fascist, something I find deeply disturbing. It seems that dissenters are being crushed.

Goldberg the council’s cabinet member for economic development was accused by #Labour councillor of “bagel-barrel politics”

Same councillor said academy schools comparable to “Kristallnacht”, the Nazi pogrom in which 1,400 synagogues were attacked & dozens of Jews murdered 👇
