Just so I can be with the programme on the day, can Corbynistas enlighten me: if Labour do lose Oldham on Thursday whose fault will it be?
-
-
@JuliaHB1@adamboultonSKY@gabyhinsliff@PCollinsTimes And it will be. Reduced majority at a by-election normal. But anti-Corbyn media not. -
@davidaslindsay@adamboultonSKY@gabyhinsliff@PCollinsTimes reduced majorities in by-elections is normal for parties... in government. -
@JuliaHB1@adamboultonSKY@gabyhinsliff@PCollinsTimes A win's a win, and a reduced maj after very longstanding incumbent not end of world. -
@davidaslindsay a new Labour leader in his first 100 days should be easily walking by-elections in safe Labour seats -
@JuliaHB1 There is no precedent for the present media situation. It's impossible to asses Corbyn against any predecessor. And a win's a win. -
@davidaslindsay you seriously think it's the media's fault that Corbyn is going to destroy Labour as a viable political party? god help you! -
@JuliaHB1 And if Labour holds#OldhamWestandRoyton, then the media will have failed in that very obviously co-ordinated campaign.

@JuliaHB1@gabyhinsliff@PCollinsTimes Ahem, Philip/Gaby/Julia, what was that you were saying.. -
@PaulEmbery@JuliaHB1@PCollinsTimes i was waiting for someone to say that:) You're the first off the mark -
@gabyhinsliff@PaulEmbery@PCollinsTimes all hail the great victory! -
@JuliaHB1@gabyhinsliff@PCollinsTimes Except it wasn't a 'tiny majority', was it, Julia? It was a very clear majority. -
@PaulEmbery@gabyhinsliff@PCollinsTimes I wasn't making a prediction about the result, only how that particular result would be greeted. -
@JuliaHB1@gabyhinsliff@PCollinsTimes Don't worry. You're not the only member of the commentariat who feels a bit disorientated today. -
@PaulEmbery@gabyhinsliff@PCollinsTimes not disorientated at all. I didn't predict the result.

@JuliaHB1@PCollinsTimes yrs of hated Blairite rule had so eroded majority that it's a miracle Corbyn cd save the seat at all. Etc. - End of conversation
