As if Jeremy cares about media operations. His disdain for/intense irritation with them is perfectly obvious.
You want a better media operation? Hire a new leader. Chances of that before the full horror of the next General Election campaign? About equal to the random probability of Corbyn dying or being incapacitated, and he's looking fairly healthy right now.
Poor, tragic Labour. You'd need to have a heart of stone not to laugh.
Why? That assumes Mr Corbyn is working to the same game plan as all the other politicians. Presumably, by his own measures, things are going just fine the way they are.

Corbyn. Making [insert name] look competent.
Actually...
Not a peep from Jez apart from tweeting about his snapchat account.
A decent leader would have had Mrs May on the rack.
Yes
No
That would be an ecumenical matter (and needs to be referred to the NEC)
'Let's run away' is not a suitable response.

Apologies to others who saw this a few minutes ago.
If Milne & Corbyn were in a brewery there would be no piss up.
1. UK access to 500 million customers in Europe’s single market.
2. No watering down of EU workplace rights.
3. Guarantees on safeguarding consumers and the environment.
4. Pledges on Britain picking up the tab for any EU capital investment lost by Brexit
1 and 4 seem to be things which could be defined so nebulously they are meaningless. 2 and 3 seems to require the government to bind all its successors.
But as is stands, Labour are finished as a political force.
I'm revising my forecast, it's going to be an utter disaster.
It'll be equivalent of the Anglo-Zanzibar war.
Even Gordon Brown led by similar amounts during his honeymoon.
I can't recall a period where Britain's future looked so bleak. Nothing good can come until we have leaders to guide the nation away from the moral dregs we are now languishing in. None are remotely in sight.
For Tories, the one biggest downside of the A50 judgement is that an early GE may lead to an early removal of Corbyn while Labour is still salavagable. Would Tories prefer 3 and a half more years of a tiny majority against an almost non-existent opposition, or a massive majority against an opposition who might actually oppose?
Brown led Cameron for a sustained period?
Would Corbyn even manage that?
Edit - or that German aeroplane which attacked two of its own destroyers in 1941?
Do you think that Labour's chances are that good? :-))
Seriously, this is liable to severely test my hypothesis that Labour won't drop much below 25% in the next election.
The lack of ability is within the opposition parties. Right now it's looking like Paul Nuttall will be the most talented of the lot.
You're not yourself today: I saw the improvement immediately

Tough to do when your Fearless Leader is a garden gnome . . .
COULD it be because Putin has ordered him to stay off this otherwise Trumpian topic????
TSE, BTW how are you getting along re: legal research on the West West Virginia project?
She can destroy Labour after she's dealt with the EU.

LOL

David Cameron was better than Brown, but even he gave up on Our Britain, 25% of the electorate, to pursue New Britain, 6% of them.
What is Mr Corbyn's agenda, given that it makes 'running away' the right response when a journalist asks a standard political question? We must assume, I believe, that Mr Corbyn believes it is the appropriate response.

I'm reasonably positive about Labour's chances because they have large numbers of very enthusiastic troops and a still-effective party machine, and there is some mileage in JC's quiet-man persona. And although the Mail and Sun will tear him to shreds, I don't think the other parties will get a smooth ride either.
If you are worried about violence, tell your friends to STFU for a bit
I'm surprised it wasn't posted on PB.
Note: the brunette in the corner is not the Trump girl

Remember a few days before the 2016 referendum Farage said he wouldn't stop fighting for Leave if Remain won 52-48
@MrAndrewCotter: The All Blacks great run ended by epic Ireland performance in Chicago. First ever win over New Zealand in 111 years of trying. Superb.
Indeed. It's going to be hard making the best of it if one bunch are prepared to ignore a referendum (without a care to gaining a similar democratic endorsement) and the other side overreact out of fear of that happening.
The Far Left platform is not an election winning prospect, especially in England where 5 in 6 seats are contested, or anywhere close.
