The - we don't have a Labour thread, thread

I was replying to your sneer and giving examples of what I meant by my remark. But of course you know that don't you? You enjoy playing games. Conversation ended

Thank goodness for that...!

I don't think it's such a big deal with Corbyn and Barnier. I mean, Barnier has met loads of UK politicians in the recent past, both Tory and Labour, and plenty of business people too. The journos are just getting over excited.

I'm assuming Bernie knows that Corbyn swings both ways Re brexit. Wish I was a fly on the wall

The preview bit of this thread only shows up to 'both way's', petra. I thought it was breaking news! it really made me giggle - I know, before anyone says anything, infantile! My excuse is that I've just seen the hygienist!!

You need a lie down in a darkened room kittylester, while someone who is very kind makes you some soup.

I think ww was talking generally about asking for sources for statements and not getting one.

And people do so moan about being given links... So what is one to do to evidence a statement?

A link to Bloomberg in that link.

I wonder how JC will handle his spin doctor Seamus Milne, now he's been caught out cheating on his wife. Not great to be caught on camera in 5* hotels with a woman half the age of your wife.

I wonder which newspapers you read. Second thoughts, I think I know.

That's a silly assumption durhamjen, irrelevant to the facts and a bit aggressive! My nephew is a political journalist and we were talking about it.
Trying to put me down won't stop him being a cheat!

And the photo was sold to which newspapers?
Aggressive? Not at all. Just a statement, like yours.

Does Corbyn have to do anything about it?

I don't know which papers bought the photo, I haven't checked with the photographer. I'm not sure how that's relevant.
If something isn't reported in the left wing press, it doesn't mean it didn't happen!

I think JC should do something. He was very slow off the mark with the antisemitism row last year and condoning this behaviour (which is what doing nothing is) will not help the Labour party. But I was interested in other opinions on it.

Nothing to do with the party, Corbyn not in any position to criticise his aide when he was having it off with Diane Abbott whilst still married to the second Mrs Corbyn . And it isn't Corbyns business what his aide gets up to in his private life

So proxy sex and half truths are the way to go primrose?

I would rather focus on the actual. Like a year ago Maybot got into power by default. Beating Loathsome the useless who had said she ought to win because she is a mother!!

A year later Maybot has not moved on from her store of about 20 sound bites and has completely run out of ideas. As a result she is begging for the opposition to come up with policies.

"Don't just criticise" says Maybot

Doh! the clue is in the name opposition - come on Maybot time for a re-boot or perhaps to be kind - a complete new circuit.

I disagree. JC suspended an MP for sexting. How does that work? Sexting bad, affairs OK?

This chap isn't an MP primrose , he is a waster but not an MP

I don't think that just criticising the opposition is enough, personally. Deflection isn't a winning strategy.

Nope primrose won't work. Dirt doesn't cut ice unless you are a reader of the gutter press. Try discussing policy - I think that might get you more respect.

He was the MP for Rochdale. Good or bad at his job, that's why he was suspended. I personally didn't like him at all, but you can't have one rule for your mates and one for everyone else. Not if you're going to run the country!

Policy primrose?

If you're referring to Simon Dancsuk Promrose, the sexting was one of a number of extremely inappropriate behaviours. He'd been offered support/therapy via the HofC and had written about his drink problem and attraction to young women. I think the sexting was to a 17 year old he'd met in the course of his work as an MP.

I haven't warmed to Seamus Milne but I see his personal life as his own business, providing it isn't getting in the way of him doing his job, SM isn't an MP. I can't imagine his wife will be indifferent to the photographs in today's papers.

Very happy to discuss policy ww!

I haven't warmed to Seamus Milne but I see his personal life as his own business, providing it isn't getting in the way of him doing his job,

Absolutely, Iam64.

His only crime is being caught out now instead of having it revealed in memoirs several years after it's ended (that's if anyone thinks he's interesting or significant enough to remember him...).
