Pity no one thought that when Cooper was in the running for Party leader when Corbyn was picked.
And Emily Thornberry can get fucked.

No, I don't know anyone who thought she'd be any good at all. Not after her stint as Home Secretary with the passport delays and "Immigrants Go Home" billboards. She was just less terrible than Leadsom, who is a straight out moron, Johnson who's a publicity whore, or Gove who fucked up education and stabbed Boris in the back. She was never a "good" choice.DjchunKfunK wrote: ↑Tue Jan 15, 2019 10:00 amRemember how everyone thought May would be a great Prime Minister?
The general discourse around May taking power was that she would be a steady hand and ideal to steer Brexit through, the Home Office stuff was pretty much glossed over. You might have felt differently personally but that was the general feeling in the media and around the nation at the time.Strudel wrote: ↑Tue Jan 15, 2019 11:51 amNo, I don't know anyone who thought she'd be any good at all.

I don't think it's a stretch to think Corbyn would be a bad leader for the country when he's been such a bad leader for the Labour party - he's not a bad guy, he just doesn't lead and there is no consistency because he seems to disagree with most of his colleagues. He's a great campaigner for the things he cares about, but cannot seem to understand the idea of collective responsibility.
Put him back on the backbenches where he can be more effective.

The Guardian, BBC etc were all onboard with May as PM when she won the leadership election.
