[Closed] Ed Millibands Labour 'Relaunch'

The Indy did ( and nailed it ).

Heard something about it, but I attributed the noise to this...

😳

What happened? Was it on the news?

Jeeze he's utterly useless. I say scrap the Labour Party now, and start again.

A proper Labour leader would be kicking Cameron up and down the corridors of Westminister. It's as though the Tories elected a total spineless dick of a leader, so Labour had to try to go one better.

I'd love to see Red Ken (cha cha cha) as Labour leader. That would properly terrify Middle England...

... but he seems so dynamic.....

🙄

We can do better than that Fred. Elect Bob Crow as Labour Leader!!!!

The Daily Mail would go into total meltdown! Their offices would literally be covered in blood from their editorial writers heads exploding from outrage-overload 😀

Ah he's proper shit, in't he? Jeeze... 😆

Looks like young versions of Oona King and Diane Abbott with him there.

Elect Bob Crow as Labour Leader!!!!

Nah, Minister for Transport. 😉

It's quite sad seeing someone so obviously out of his depth and floundering. I think it will be amazing if he pulls this one round. If Labour were really ready they would administer the coup de grace now but probably favours the big hitters (sic) to lay low for a while as no politician will come out of this crisis smelling nicely. Good time to stay in the shadows?

The sadness quickly goes when you think back though......!

that mouse pic is fantastic 😀

Damn it Dan, I have just choked on my coffee. 😀

The girl on the left is priceless

He's Labour's IDS. Strong, principled (whether you agree with him or not), social convictions, zero political nouse, zero charisma.

Whenever I see him on PMQs I'm always reminded of the lad that played Pitt The Younger in Blackadder.

Like the Tories before them, Labour need to go through a few leaders until they get to one not associated with the BlairBrown years beofe they'll win an election again.

he's not useless, he's gritty and strong. he said so. anyone who makes cameron look OK, must be a total vacuum.

Dan that pic is amazing! 🙂

I had to laugh at the Radio 4 interview yesterday morning, as when they compared him and John Humphreys to Jedward, just so funny that a political leader is being laughed at in the studio, so not a good sign for a dynamic leader inspiring people.

Yvette cooper will kick him in to touch and then the Tories will start bricking it.

It's unbelievable really isn't it. Party elects the wrong brother and nobody has the sense to shout 'stop! mistake!' and sort it out. I actually can't listen to his speech impediment, oil slick of a mouth delivery. Listening to him on the Today programme yesterday was beyond sad, it was pathetic really. In the meantime Cameron is puffing out his cheeks and getting comfy... blah... 😐

That picture is indeed class Dan. The girl on the left, with that look on her face, represents the British electorate.

All that's missing is the 'I'm with Stupid' t shirt 😀

All that is missing is him having the same tie as the girls, then I could easily believe they go to the same school.

I reckon he'll resign before the year is out.

According to the gossip column he'd still easily beat ElfNsafety in a fist fight which I find really, really funny. 😆

Definitely the funniest post of the year.

Yvette Cooper may be better than the rest, but she's as scary as a stack of waffles to a hungry Belgian. Cameron is clearly a weak leader, but if the hardest opposition is Clegg and Cooper, he'll be looking to not just the next election but the one after that.

Hmmm...

Labour governments of old did some really great things, like creating the NHS and privatising the railways. But thats a distant memory.

The only thing that would entice me to vote Labour again would be if they held a public show trial and subsequent life imprisonment of everyone who was involved with the New Labour project. Maybe it would help too if they had some policies too instead of trying to out Tory the Tories.

😕

You're actually Not Very Well, are you?

Bless.

I think the electorate will like Yvette Cooper, and stir echoes of Maggie etc, could be very electable.
Still being in a relationship to Balls, is not a good omen.

It's as though the Tories elected a total spineless dick of a leader, so Labour had to try to go one better.

I'd like to see someone with a bit more maturity and life experience lead the country. Currently there isn't a single party that interests me enough to vote for them.

and stir echoes of Maggie etc

can't wait

and stir echoes of Maggie

And

instead of trying to out Tory the Tories

If that's the level of confusion around the opposition; DaveCam must be chuckling into his Champers

Who?

🙂

Is the term BLESS your attempt at being patronising or are you a Holy Elf boy? And do you wear robes in front of your congregation or prefer your normal full frontal stance?

Eh, ElfBwoy (Reverand Rambler)?

I am still laughing at the photo now!

Are you aware that help is still available on the NHS? I'd get in quick if I were you though, cos CallMeDave's lot will put an end to that soon...

Incidentally, one of the girls in dan1980's photo later recalled her meeting with Ed Milliband in visual form. The Labour leader, it appears, did not come across well:

I suppose i’m a potential labour voter; i’m not rich, i like public services.

there are lots of people like me.

But I guess many of us couldn’t bring ourselves to vote for Ed and Ed.

Is the crap labour leadership our fault? – i’m not a labour party member, i have no say in deciding the leadership.

Is it a bit like ‘not voting and still complaining about the result’?

Camo, that's ace! 🙂

Is that it?

tut tut

Trades union throwbacks elect a totally useless geek to lead their host cadaver of a party, shocka...

It's pathetic really, but we're the losers ffs our country is being lead by a bloke you wouldn't trust to hold your bike and opposed by t.wats that would only serve us best bent over as bike racks..

I mean it seriously would you go on a ride with any of them?

No, but I don't think I'd go on a ride with you either. 🙂

The reason the tories were in power for so long in the 80's and 90's is that Labour had leaders who were unelectable as a PM.

Deja vu?

So, in order to get into power, NL had to become Tory. That rather leaves Mr Miliband with few cards to play.

He'll have to rely on his charm and winning smile.

God help him.

Good time to stay in the shadows?

He could declare himself a Jihadist convert, bent on the destruction of western society, and I doubt anyone would even notice

Miliband earlier.

"oh man, not pan..."

We should call him Ed Miliwatt.

Moderate performance on Marr this morning.. Started with usual inane grin - doesn't he have any media advice?!? But it is bizarre that a Labour leader defends providing benefits to all and no means testing in the face f lack of resources ie, welfare for disabled after 18 and that he was proud of Labour allowing the banks to run riot thereby providing the income for labour to spend on public sector.mmmmm. Marr led him straight into that trap!

Lots of references to Ed and I - keep your friends close and your enemies even closer?

Possibly. Or maybe 'if you go down, be sure to take some other bugger with you'...
