He is a textbook example of the kind of person commentators who understand nothing about the Labour Party think will lead the Labour Party

I guess that had you not enjoyed that routine, my life would have been entirely different, I wouldn’t have met my wife and my children would not have been born. Can I bill you

Hahaha! I wasn’t calling them up but your recall of the proposition is entirely accurate. Was an ad campaign for 1st class season ticket upgrades, but you couldn’t mention seats cos they probably wouldn’t get one. Can’t remember which train company! Must have been about 2006

Tipping Streeting is just an “I have not thought about what the membership consists of” position.

Ah, I was hearing people saying it was all a stitch up, and was in the “you get how that’s worse” stage.

Agree except that I think someone who manages to get themselves accidentally in the sun as a titty hypnotist would as party leader manage to get their foot stuck in a series of amusing buckets on a regular basis, so would be known for those too

They also have the problem that saying “I think we need to move on from the thing where he tried to hypnotise women’s boobs bigger” is not really something you can pull off without people laughing again

I also like the imaginary conversation it throws up.
Terminally Online Person: did you know that Zack Polanski was a titty hypnotist?
Real World Person: no but I do not find it very striking and the information will not stay with me.

Anyway, as bad as having a titty hypnotist as your party leader is, it’s probably less of a problem than having a guy whose poor judgement leads him to bring outed/set-up/whatever as a titty hypnotist.

My favourite bit was when she said that only the terminally online know about the titty hypnotism, as if there is a big real world discourse about Zack Polanski of any kind.

Suspect that for a deal to happen, the Tories have to offer to sell the entire shop to Farage, but also to have convinced themselves that that’s not what they’re doing. This seems a not unlikely set of circumstances.

Also important not to underestimate “being able to talk like a human being” which I do t think is a trait DM ever displayed

It would also split the PLP along hard to predict lines.

It would be a desperate gambler’s throw. The Stay Out line would be “Westminster never tried to make it work, we need to get rid of the lot of them”. And even if they lost, the ensuing reaction would surely still be a huge electoral fillip for Farage.

We have to start talking to Hitler at some point. Why not start talking to him now? Or once Stalin’s finished

These Tory party friendly platitudes, are they what we know as “hard truths”?

When I first had an office at the BBC, the previous occupants had covered one wall with Steve Bell cartoons and a sign saying something like “the wall of comedy death”.
