So she claimed May wouldn’t have the same vested interest in the future of the country because she had no children.
She denied saying it and called for the transcript to be released.
That was released so she called for the audio to be released.
That was released and now she’s screwed.

They both are. But yes she certainly is outcunting May at the moment.

Corbyn is on the ballot, the end for the Labour Party is nigh
Sanity has prevailed.
Democracy wins over the anti-democratic chicken plotters.
The delusion of the Blairites is absolute.
Sidney - from afar it would seem Corbyn is completely unelectable as a PM. While I’ve no doubt he’s a wet dream to the more left wing elements of the Labour Party who just can’t understand why the rest of the electorate haven’t signed up to their vision, it’s no more than a pipe dream?
Kinda reminds me of some of the hard-left groups here who’d prefer to be ideologically pure and not have any real impact.
Am I completely mistaken?
It doesn’t matter to them.
They know with First Past the Post that this is their only chance to direct one of the two main political vehicles in Britain. It’s be on board one of them or bust in terms of influence there. At least the headbangers here have PR which gives them a say (but of course the headbanger crank in Ireland will routinely go on about how terrible Ireland is versus everywhere else).
To be fair to Corbyn, I think he has actually campaigned for electoral reform so people like him will have an influence.
Where he is disingenuous is in hiding some of his real positions now. He is a 1970s Labour Socialist and everyone knows it but he tells lies like, for example, supporting Britain staying in the single market whilst undermining those efforts. The 1970s Labour Party are totally unelectable and he knows that. Himself and his ilk want to remain in the discussion to undermine the system from within.
The Blairites are the ones who are totally unelectable.
They stand for nothing except power for power’s sake, and they haven’t even a sniff of a chance of that. Blairism is dead and good riddance. Blairites have no idea of the mood against them in Britain. They are unbelievably deluded. Days after Chilcott they put up Angela Eagle, who voted for the Iraq War, voted consistently against any inquiry into it, voted to bomb Syria, voted for university tuition fees and then to increase them, abstained on welfare cuts.
The dirty tricks campaign against Corbyn started from well before day one. Effectively nothing has changed in terms of his support from the PLP.
Today it’s been hilarious, the sour grapes from the likes of Blair’s advisor John McTernan has to be read to be believed. McTernan is a serial loser, in England, in Australia and in Scotland. Corbyn unreservedly condemned a brick being thrown through the window of Angela Eagle’s office, despite nobody knowing who threw it. That wasn’t good enough for the Blairites. What have the Blairites had to say about the multiple death threats aimed against Corbyn? Nothing. We know who condones violence in politics. But then we’ve known it since 2003.
The Blairites talk of unity, when they’ve been plotting since before day one with nonsense smear campaigns about anti-semitism, constant undermining and Alastair Campbell and Portland Communications manufacturing incidents and feeding a constant drip of anti-Corbyn propaganda to the anti-Corbyn media.
The Blairites stood for the subversion and abolition of democracy. They attempted to deny a voice to the party membership. That needs to be remembered.
Corbyn may not win an election but he’ll do far better than any Blairite party, because he actually stands for real Labour values, and if he’s leader, Labour will exist as a living, breathing party and get stronger, not be continually strangled by Tory clones who serve no purpose other than to provide an illusion of choice.
If you stand for nothing, you stand against Corbyn. If you stand for real Labour values, he’s the only man to take the party forward at this moment.
Beautiful sentiments. But is he electable? Does that matter?
He’s far more electable than any alternatives, mate. Does that matter?
Maybe to you. But to the general electorate?
I was talking about the general electorate, which was kind of obvious.
