More support this morning coming from some boy scouts in Chingford who spontaneously broke into the 'oh Jeremy Corbyn' chant on BBC Breakfast live...

Fucking beautiful. I like to imagine Laura K or Chuka's face watching that clip. I reckon most politicians yearn for the days when young people didn't pay that much attention to politics.

Buelligan

Thanks Blods, can't wait to see them!  DO NOT FORGET.

Try to get some banners, I bloody love those banners.

Buelligan

Precisely!  Don't let them slip though.  They have such neat little feet for a big animal.

Funny how Labour's usually outspoken feminists Jess Phillips, Stella Creasy and Yvette Cooper are all being very quiet Watson's treatment of Jenny Formby isn't it?

Buelligan

Please don't call them feminists. 

Sebastian Cobb

Doesn't Watson realise some of them have books to promote and they're having to waste time not tweeting!

Blodders and pancreas turn up at a Tory party leadership hustings by mistake... with hilarious results!

Thanks Blodders.  This is exactly what I had in mind, perhaps mine was a bit more colourful.  But there's no shame in being monotone.


Get to fucking Durham, you cunts!

Pancreas lost in Darlington

Last seen in a state of unbridled disarray and single-mindedly purchasing far too many mattresses for one person.

That Jonathan Cook blogpost in full

There's an excellent comment under that blog post:

How to destroy a political party.

1. Select your cause. This could be anything, but it'll work better if it's simultaneously highly emotive, imprecise, and presented as something people will find it difficult to argue against. ('Let's fight antisemitism', for instance.)

1:18 AM – 3 Mar 2019 816 Retweets 1,228 Likes 117 replies

2. Find 'evidence'. Social media is a supremely rich source of possible ammunition, and accounts can be combed and pored over to find what looks like incriminating material.

3. Denounce. Denounce publicly, denounce often, denoune repeatedly. Repetition is key: the messages must be repeated sufficiently that they become 'common sense', something people keep on hearing about so it 'must be true'.

4. Anyone who questions your narrative must be denounced as guilty thremselves. Denying your issue means 'not taking the issue seriously'.

5. Divide. Make sure your issue is one that will cause division. Set factions against each other, foment intra-party tensions and get party members fighting each other.

6. Find 'ambassadors'. People in the arts or entertainment sector are invaluable. They're publicity hungry anyway and can be flattered easily. Their sense of self-importance will drive them to work for you, and they will have a wide base of fans who will become messengers in turn

7. Recruit the media. Make sure your issue is one the media will find 'sexy', and will want to report. Your 'ambassadors' will have good links and contacts here. Media are scandal-hungry and credulous. Flood them with stories.

8. Comedy is a key battleground. Once an issue has become the subject of TV comedy, it becomes cemented as 'true' in people's minds. Your issue will gain far greater reach through TV comedy than any other route.

9. So give comedians material. Give them caricatures of reality, exaggerated characteristics. Comedians, like your media ambassadors, will be eager to be recruited if they can 'make material' out of your issue.

10. Swamp. The party will have some kind of complaints procedure. This must immediately be incapacitated by sheer volume. Complaints need not have any substance, it's the volume that matters.

11. Now complain the complaints process itself is 'too slow.' The massive backlog you've created becomes a new campaigning tool. The party is 'in denial', 'not taking the issue seriously', etc.

12. When complaints are dismissed for lack of evidence, complain again that this shows the party isn't taking the issue seriously. Dispute anything that suggests false accusations exist: the accusation of false accusations can itself become a new form of 'denialism'.

13. Demand 'action'. Your demands must increase as concessions are made. Every concession muct be denounced as insufficient. Whatever is offered, it must be refused and condemned. No apology should be accepted, but rejected as 'too little too late'.

14. Be implacable. No attempt shoud be made actually to resolve the issue. Resolution is not your goal: destruction of the party is. The party must be damaged so significantly that your issue becomes definitional in people's minds.

15. Be relentless. Never stop.

simon maginn Replying to @msjenniferjames

There isn't a playbook that I'm aware of. Labour failed from the outset to challenge the antisemitism crisis narrative, now they pay the price.

[A follower:]It's hard to expose false narratives when the msm won't let you in. Most voters won't be reading our tweets (sorry to sound so negative, having a down day!)

[Maginn:] I think that's the point. The crisis narrative has been patiently dismantled on twitter, but that's had little or no effect on the press reporting.
