This Labour lass has a horrendous voice on her.
Hysterical German lady vs brain dead banana lady

Long-Bailey with her first speech in the leadership race there.
I'm fecking bored of people complaining about the media's treatment of Corbyn. It might be true but it's the exact sort of whining Scottish Labour used to do, diverting all their problems onto everyone except themselves, and the sort of shite that put me off voting for the party at all. If Corbyn can't improve his parties polling at this point then he can feck off. Voters aren't interested in excuses.
An English dream? Rebecca better watch out for Thornberry's tweet.
Seriously though, I do wonder why she didn't say British.

''Come on Jeremy, just try it on. It does well in the polling''
The "he's a good man", "not like any other politician" argument is even worse.
I'd be a good man too if I had John McDonnell doing all my dirty work for me.

Nawaz made some good points about the Left's approach to the Brexit debate i thought.
Just in general, decent arguments and a sensible voice without having to resort to soundbites and platitudes.
Further on the apt remarks made by Portillo at the beginning:
If only the EU had a democratic and proportionally representive parliament, then none of this would have been an issue
Bollocks, if the British public had bothered to vote in EU elections and actually send serious politicians instead of clowns like Farage over there, we'd have plenty of representation.
That really annoyed me. The mentality of people to actually vote with something so important on their lives - with their view on bananas. Sadly a lot of brexit voters had this mentality I fear.
Jeez, she seems to have attained a degree of internet 'fame' for her stupid comment.

Even were that true, i'm not sure what relevance it has the point being made by Gove there.
"Are Brexiteers Jihadis?"
Edit: fecking hell, Anne Widdecombe comparing 40 years of campaigning to leave the EU to 40 years campaigning for the abolition of slavery.

Under-16s for the vote now?
Why Owen Smith would have made an appalling leader, in just a few sentences.
Owen Smith is terrible.
He would Nick, but he has a point, holding a referendum was clearly in the Tory manifesto, so if anyone did vote Tory and yet is now desperately unhappy about the result they should stfu, it's their own fault.
She made her point in a poor way but the general, underlying suggestion was relevant: we're probably going to see the strongest possible implementation of Brexit on the narrowest of majorities on an issue that many younger people were against, despite the fact they'll have to live with it the longest, and often when the Leave side receive genuine criticism all they can resort to is 'Remoaners' or 'You lost, get on with it'. Leave won and we'll see Brexit either way, which is fair enough, but it feels like we often see this argument painted in terms as if Brexit was a football match where the winners takes all.
It's completely fair for people who feel alienated or disillusioned by this to point out that their voice still matters, and that we'll likely be living with a demographic in 10-15 years that are either against the decision, or with more people around who were against it than were for. Telling such people that they're 'moaners' for raising legit points is fair enough.
Hard to believe people would doubt the PLP's definition of electable isn't it?Owen Smith is terrible.
Has Anne Widdecombe mentioned that she's Catholic yet?
I'm not an Owen Smith fan but people booing him for saying that Brexit will damage the economy
He would also have brazenly ignored the referendum, were he in office. A complete political own goal.
"For thousands of years, Britain has ruled and been a light to the world" — Average Brexiteer
Agreed.
I'm sure she'd have enjoyed living through those centuries as a peasant, enduring endless wars, monarchical rule and all the rest of it. I'm sure, being someone who values parliamentary sovereignty though, she'd have been very keen on the whole Supreme Court debate...
We do need to have a sensible discussion about funding. Even in other European health services, there is an element of non-tax payments. But if we're not comfortable with that, taxes must rise.
You just know from the tone of the debate that we're going to be successful.
0.2%? I think we could call that a token.
It's quite incredible. Like a bunch of children moaning at each other. The whole debate on whose conduct was worse just about sums it up...'you did this,' and 'no, they did that'.
Make the corporations pay their fair share of tax, then we'll talk about other options. That was quick.
Isn't that just modern politics?
Amazing stuff. UKIP twonk went from 'No he didn't, that is a fallacy' to 'He made suggestions' re: Nuttall's comments about privatising the NHS in the space of a minute there.
Is that before or after that revenue has paid for various renationalisations, improved infrastructure and housing?
The NHS debate might just be the one with the most cliches surrounding it. 'Honest discussion' and 'mature discussion' come up a lot, but the people who say such phrases rarely argue what that honest, mature discussion would constitute.
'Political football' is another which crops up a lot.

To an unfortunate extent, yeah.
They're all trying to look the most mature on the NHS by screeching "I'm the most mature on the NHS!" over each other.
You forgot nuclear warheads, revamping Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament and whatever this EU divorce fee ends up being. I look forward to you arguing just as hard that we need to find alternative methods of paying for those.
