politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Laura Pidcock – the 33/1 newbie MP who is being tipped as Corbyn’s successor
Following what was perceived to be a success at the last general election, although Labour finished 58 seats behind, there have been few questions about the future of Jeremy Corbyn. He looks pretty secure and the biggest issue he faces is that he will be in his early 70s if the next election does take place, as planned, in 2022.

Rayner has gone rogue and alienated a lot of middle class Corbynistas (is there another kind?) by talking about working class aspiration and respondibility. She’s out.

Just watched an advert on ITV showing a woman hearing an alarm and jumping out of a Tower Block in free fall to be caught in a net.
She then said
'I've never been the right age to jump out of a building'
And then goes on to say use No 7 day cream with our clinically proven serum.
I was utterly appalled at the inexcusable bad taste following Grenfell.

Re Ben Bradley
I wonder if his birth control thoughts might have been influenced by this other Derbyshire Man who was regularly in the news in the preceeding years:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mick_Philpott
' Michael "Mick" Philpott (born 1956) is a British father who was found guilty of causing the deaths of six of his children by arson in 2012. Philpott, who had made several media appearances because of his benefits-funded lifestyle and polyamorous relationships, was sentenced to life imprisonment for their manslaughter. He had first come to prominence in the British media as a result of his large family (having fathered 17 children by various women), and his reliance on state benefits. '0 -
I'm currently happy with my ante-post portfolio of if Jezza fell in front of a bus candidate,of Emily Thornberry at 28-1 BET 365 as advised by me a while ago on this site.As in any ante-post market, it's a long term market for future betting bank accumulation.If you're looking for a quick return of income,then you need to obtain a tradeable asset .To reduce risk these days,I always use a dutching method.Who says you can't back more than one horse in a race and not 2 or more?
As the event is so far away,Laura Pidcock could blossom and 33-1 could look very big come 2027.I trust John McDonnell's judgement and Rebecca Long-Bailey at 20-1 I might leave for the kids' inheritance.I cannot advise to do this as I do not yet have 3 reasons to do so and under OLBG rules you always gotta have 3 good reasons to part with your hard-earned,a good discipline.0 -
So, Labour agree their next leader should be a women.
Which means their next leader won't be a woman.0 -
I probably should have replied directly to Southam on this one. He was asking whether there’s another kind of Corbynista in the post you were replying to - that was what spurred on my post.ydoethur said:

Pidcock's remarks on Tories may not endear her to any who might want to jump ship and join vote Labour. By all means play to the core vote in your home constituency but words of encouragement go a long way. Wilson, Blair and Attlee recognised Labour was a broad church, and tempered their appeal to win power. So far, Pidcock has remained antagonistic and tribal, so far there is little to show that she can reach out to floating voters.0

A woman leading Labour ? I’ll tell the jokes..0

Some Labour supporters think they can win by convincing more non-voters to vote for them.

The current Labour Party should find a mountain somewhere and christen it Mount Losemore. And in its rock, they should sculpt the faces of those heroes of Labour who have taken Labour to glorious defeat. The magnificent Michael Foot. The windbag Neil Kinnock. The dour Gordon Brown. The legendary Jeremy Corbyn who like Neil will have the glorious honour of leading Labour to magnificent defeat twice.
None of these heroic losers cast in stone on Mount Losemore however at first will be the face of a woman. Who will it be for 2027? Will it be the innumerate Diane Abbott? Or will it be Laura Pillock, ...sorry Pidcock, who declares that she would never be friends with a Tory, but expects voters in Tory marginals to vote for her.
And as this remarkable Mountain of losers and failures is built, have a thought for those of us who want to get rid of the Tories and remember the days when Labour leaders had the lap of honour AFTER they had won an election.0 -

But what of those who have voted for them, then switch to Labour (or someone else) and back and forth?

Indeed, and I think that is one reason some Tories hold the view it won't happen again, on the basis they only did such a thing because they thought Corbyn wouldn't come close to winning. But that would be a very risky thing to rely on indeed.The_Apocalypse said:

A lot of Corbynistas see turnout at the last election as something which supports their point - they did manage to get non-voters out to vote Labour. Though I agree that they’ll need more than just non-voters to win a GE.Mortimer said:

Would this be the Laura Pidcock who jetted off to Venice for her birthday for a week when Parliament was sitting thereby missing a debate on Universal Credit, a topic she claimed was close to her heart, and which formed the basis of her questions to the PM?
And who, when criticised, moaned that it was her birthday, apparently oblivious of the concept of weekends / celebrating her birthday in London / putting her constituents first.
The Laura Pidcock who claimed she could not afford to buy a house and then bought a 3-bedroom house?

https://twitter.com/newstatesman/status/954098572777148416
But the reason why the “Millenials are Maoists” narrative is so tempting to the right is that if the Conservatives cannot win stable majorities among a generation that wants to own its on home, is economically liberal in general, that raises very difficult questions about either the party’s strategic abilities, the effectiveness of its policy platform or both. It feels like the right is simply getting its excuses in early: because saying “We couldn’t possibly win over this generation of leftwingers” is a lot more comforting than the real question: which is why is the British right doing so badly with a generation of economic and social liberals?0 -

I have met Ms Pidcock. She is personally charming with a good deal of charisma. (So does Norman Tebbit for political balance).
She is, however, 30 years old. She is too young to be leader next (even were JC to continue and win in 2022) so am not betting on her.
Next but one is not impossible though.0 -

When you say buy you mean her and her partner who also claims to be a Socialist got a mortgage on one. I agree very odd. You are right to be suspicious of her. What next the pitter patter of little Jeremy or JeremiahRobD said:

Maybe. But elections are more likely won by getting your own vote out than wining converts. CON lost majority in June because the oldies didn't out on same scale as previous elections but there was a much bigger turnout than previously of younger voters.Charles said:

It's certainly true that if the Tories cannot convince sufficient numbers of the young to support them, even accepting Labour would be expected to do better with the young, then it is their own fault, nor are outright communists a large number of the young, even when I was that age it was a joke about how there were such people among us, and usually they were the noisiest. The joke of the newly enlightened communist young person is not without any foundation, but the Tories cannot use it as an excuse for not winning.The_Apocalypse said:https://twitter.com/newstatesman/status/954098572777148416
But the reason why the “Millenials are Maoists” narrative is so tempting to the right is that if the Conservatives cannot win stable majorities among a generation that wants to own its on home, is economically liberal in general, that raises very difficult questions about either the party’s strategic abilities, the effectiveness of its policy platform or both. It feels like the right is simply getting its excuses in early: because saying “We couldn’t possibly win over this generation of leftwingers” is a lot more comforting than the real question: which is why is the British right doing so badly with a generation of economic and social liberals?0 -

You miss the point. MPs have long holidays. She could have celebrated her birthday then or at the weekend. If the plight of her constituents on UC meant as much as she claimed, she should have stayed for the debate and done her bloody job and fought for them.bigjohnowls said:

She earns well over twice the average salary so moaning about not being able to buy a house was self-indulgent nonsense - and untrue.
Your party claims the moral high ground. It is nauseating when the evidence is that so many of your representatives are just as self-interested and selfish and hypocritical as the rest of us. So bloody stop it. Stop looking at the motes in others’ eyes and examine the beams in your own.
Like this - http://hurryupharry.org/2018/01/16/the-shortlisted-labour-candidate-who-shared-antisemitic-memes/ - for instance: does it make you proud to be a Labour man when fellow members write stuff like this?

The point is does Labour want to win a general election or it content to sing silly songs and do laps of honour when the B team comes second?
Corbyn, his cronies and his proteges are the B team -with few exceptions. As the Stalinist grip on Labour tightens Labour is in danger of becoming a Friday night Marxist book club, and not a serious party of government. Laura Pidcock looks like a Maoist librarian. She may be content with that role.
There is no law to say that Labour has to be one of the two great parties competing for power at general elections. Parties can and do die. They get replaced. Ask the Liberals.

Boris Johnson has raised the prospect of Britain and France building a bridge over the Channel as Emmanuel Macron said the two countries should “make a new tapestry together”.
The Foreign Secretary, who met his French counterpart at an Anglo-French summit today, said it was “ridiculous” that two of the world’s biggest economies are “linked by a single railway”.
He has already championed the idea of a road tunnel under the Channel alongside the existing tunnel that carries rail passengers and freight but believes a bridge might now be an option.....
.....Mr Johnson’s hopes of a 22-mile Channel Bridge, however, proved the most eye-catching suggestion to come out of the talks. He hinted at his desire for more big Anglo-French infrastructure projects when he tweeted: “I’m especially pleased we are establishing a panel of experts to look at major projects together.
“Our economic success depends on good infrastructure and good connections. Should the Channel Tunnel be just a first step?”
Mr Johnson is understood to have told aides: “We are two of the world’s greatest economies linked by a single railway. It’s ridiculous.
“Technology is moving on all the time and there are much longer bridges elsewhere, including one that is 34 miles long in Japan.”
He believes the Channel Tunnel cannot provide the capacity which will be needed for increased tourism and trade between the two countries in future decades, and The Daily Telegraph understands that he discussed a new privately-funded bridge or tunnel link with his French counterparts.
