Believeing more of Boris' lies.  The sky might not, but the pound will, the standard of living will, the employment rate will...  You have taken us back to the 70s, not Corbyn!

Baron99   794 #15 Posted December 12, 2019 Well Lab wanted to fight this election on other issues rather than just Brexit & clearly if the exit polls are correct, that's resulted in the predictions of of a Conservative win.   If it had solely been about Brexit, the predicted result would be closer but the scale of the Conservatives victory suggests voters have turned their backs on Corbyn, McDonnell & their manifesto based on a massive borrowing programme as well Corbyn himself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Rubbish, Corbyn was the problem, if they had had a better leader they would have done well and they were too blind to see that. Ask any Labour voter and they would have told you the same. I've never known life time Labour voters switch parties, Corbyn is finish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Car Boot   10 #19 Posted December 12, 2019 The Brexit position Corbyn took was absolute electoral suicide.  Corbyn wants to Leave the EU, but he was pushed into supporting another referendum by middle class Blairites. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Litotes   63 #21 Posted December 12, 2019 Yes Corbyn was the problem, but in winning the BoJo jolly boys will be taking us back to years of isolation, no trade deals, resulting in a depreciation of the pound (yes, it will soar tonight, but then we will see a slow decline in the value against most major currencies) and as a result, the standard of living will decline with the poor hit the most, unemployment will increase and the UK will become a leader in the third world.

Baron99   794 #23 Posted December 12, 2019 Listening to election special on Radio 5. Just interviewed a Lab activist who has been doorstepping in the Lab heartlands in the Midlands. He was telling of visiting life long Lab supporters who weren't happy with Corbyn & also said that their areas had voted to leave the EU but their views have been simply ignored by the Lab Party over the past 3 & a half years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
