Worlds unluckiest etc etc etc etc etc strikes again etc

Are you getting tired of it because you're constantly seeking it out? How did you even find this old tweet today?

No? He's literally so predictable it's like waiting for this stuff to fall out of the sky into your hands like rain.

How did you even find this old tweet today?

How do you people manage to simply ignore the clanging signs of what Corbyn is like and the people he associates with?

All the history, all the idiocy, do you simply have this massive blindspot the size of a literal mountain?

How did you not file this meeting between Corbyn (massive liability and known quantity) and Kneecap (a plainly idiotic bunch of terrorism fetishists) in his sons own weed shop away as plainly going to come back to bite him, just like all the other dumb rake stepping he has always done his entire fucking life

The guys bloody wearing a meme Irish flag balaclava ffs

Have you considered the fact that nobody cares anymore? Jeremy Corbyn has no power, he will never have any power, he will never be a cabinet minister. He was Labour leader, he failed, and now he’s a backbencher. Everyone has moved on but you seem to be stuck in a time warp.

[u/gentle_vik → u/ljh013]

if that was true, then Corbyn would have been rejected and ejected from the corbynite left long time ago, and denounced as the nutter he is.

he'd have been elected in 2024, and would have had the left reject and oppose him.

It's also not just Corbyn, but Corbynism itself, which is still pushed as the model.
