It’s a shame Edinburgh Festival wasn’t a thing when Leon Trotsky was alive. He’d have pulled a bigger crowd than JC.
Warra election victory
Tbh this is a good thing, the last thing we need is more cult of personality
I’ve never been in step with the voting habits of those in my country but I remained optimistic when voting for Corbyn but wasn’t surprised at the result or the media smear campaign and the majority of the British public falling for it as they did with Brexit.
Even in these current times the tactics of binary division and manipulation would still work and people will continue to vote for the greedy & self-interested who actively make their life worse because they appeal to an unhealthy base tribal instinct or fear.
Pulling big crowds is not an metric that translates to being a good politician.
Wait, an anti-unionist, anti-monarchy left wing politician pulling a crowd in Scotland !?! Who would have thought such a thing.
And we all.know that having a.bigger crowd of fanatical activists makes a massive difference to….oh no, it makes sod all difference and doesn’t reflect the electorate in the slightest.
The media went into a overdrive anti Corbyn frenzy before the last election. Boris was the chosen one on a Gold plated Murdoch chariot. Before you slag him off read his manifesto, and then think about what you were convinced to vote in, especially the red wall
The Fringe is a pretty liberal event and the Tories are not popular in Scotland. I’d be worried about reading too much into this because Corbyn was playing to the home crowd here. You’d probably find the opposite would happen if both were at Ascot or the Henley Regatta. I do hope more people look somewhere other than the Tories for help but there are still a lot of diehard Tories and shy Tories out there to convince too.
Unfortunately he wanted to help people and tax the rich, so that’s why he never made it. Still I see people saying least we know what tories are like, and I can’t believe it. They’re robbing us blind, we need to do something
Stop trying to make corbyn happen, he isnt going to happen
Not that surprising when you consider how unpopular the Tories are up there really is it. I feel like a crap ukelele player could probably beat Truss for a Fringe turnout.
Liz Truss couldn’t pull a blanket over herself. She’s hopeless.
Jeremy went to an event that already had people going to it. I doubt they were going to the Fringe purely to see him speak.
Liz is campaigning to less than 200,000 Tory members who will be spread out across the country. And I doubt a majority of them will be going to see her or Sunak on their campaign trails.
I don’t see how this is a meaningful comparison.
Jeremy Corbyn, the Elton John of politics.
Still endlessly touring, even if the act has long since gone stale.
Unpopular opinions it would seem but still true imo: the media isn’t the only reason Jeremy Corbyn lost and his policies weren’t as popular as people ITT are making out, at least not with the majority. Nationalising all the utilities wasn’t supported by most people. Revisionist history doesn’t change that.
Jeremy and bernie could have been the start of a new era for worker rights and the enviroment, but no. Allot of Twats are too busy making murdoch richer
Are they listening to him talk about his support for the Russian position and telling Uk not to arm Ukraine
Corbyn’s recent language regarding Ukraine was shameful.
In this thread: Corbyn idiots that probably think Diane Abbot is remotely useful.
At least I know what Corbyn stands for. I have no idea what any Tory leader has stood for in the last decade other than sheer incompetence.
Why are we still giving this guy press coverage? He’s an irrelevant independent backbencher. The quicker he fades into oblivion the better.
Here we go… The sowing of the seeds of division to keep the Tories in power. Jezza has been keeping the Tories in power since the 80s when he undermined Kinnock.
How shit does your life have to be to unironically turn up at a Liz Truss event?
I never understood infatuation with Corbyn. Anti EU boomer who blames the West for war in Ukraine. Massive fool

He’s more interesting than Truss no doubt
