| Jeremy Corbyn will resign as Labour leader after horror election performance | |
| 2019-12-13 | |
| via NEO via Instapundit [Independent] - Boris Johnson hailed a political "earthquake" which saw Labour support crumble in its heartlands, handing him a decisive majority in parliament. The Conservatives are expected to finish up on 364 seats. Jeremy Corbyn blamed Brexit for Labour’s devastating defeat, as he announced he would stand down as leader after overseeing a "period of reflection". The party is set to take just 203 seats ‐ its worst election performance since 1935. Lib Dem leader Jo Swinson lost her seat to the SNP and quit as party leader. Nicola Sturgeon said she had a "strengthened" mandate for a second vote on Scottish independence, as the SNP made a series of gains.

| #3 I think most of the Democrats in the US think that Corbyn made the following mistakes: - he didn't call his opponents racists enough times - he didn't promise a radical economy destroying Green New Deal (the is a Green party in the UK that did that) - he didn't promise to confiscate all privately owned knives - he didn't promise to award £ 500 to every woman who has an abortion |

| #2 The fact that the guy actually looks like a weasel should have been enough to disqualify him. (in answer to those who say he can't help his looks, I'm with Lincoln who said "Every man over 40 is responsible for what he looks like.") |
