I cannot stand Tories but....

George Freeman, a former minister in Johnson’s government said:
“When Labour have a sensible new leader, Keir Starmer [if elected] should be invited to Covid cabinet, Cobra and joint No 10 briefings.”

So not Long - Bailey then? What a bell end. They can't resist it can they? Even in these extraordinary times and as the government implement many policies that Corbyn would have implemented anyway, they have to have a dig.

Let's see what happens if the leadership contest is postponed.

Freeman wouldn’t know a ‘sensible’ leader if he fell over one

Yes comments like that in the middle of a crisis where people are dying early deaths shows up some Tories for the scum they really are.
 
When this does calm down , it's whether we start making our medical supplies foodstuffs, and essentials at home and not like the Brexit goons want to have everything made in India and China.

Also half soaked semi detached man sees how the Tories have run down theA
NHS and start voting for people who put the country first.
 
I am no fan of the Conservative Party, but by God they are like Mother Theresa when compared to Trump who has adopted a Quid Pro Covid-19 approach to helping out State Governors and I have no words to describe how much better they are than the Belarusian president, Lukashenka. This is a man who believes it is all a 'psycosis' and that getting out on your tractor, drinking vodka and taking saunas will sort you out.
From someone I know online who lives in Belarus under this nutcase they aren't even reporting deaths as Covid-19 deaths, rather as pneumonia.

Reserve a special place in Hell for this one.

But what can you say when the Labour Party Chairman says the virus presents them with a great opportunity.

Yes, that was the quote as Guido Fawkes presented it and lots of right wing commentators piled in to criticise.

The reality is that he was addressing thousands of young grassroots members on an online forum about coronavirus and the deaths it would cause when he said: “But, you know apart from that, it’s going to give the fantastic battalion of Labour party members, community champions out there, a great opportunity of showing how Labour, and why Labour, is best when it gets on the front foot and best when it brings people together.”

He was rallying young activists to play a role in combating the spread of the virus.
 
“By the way when something like this happens, we’re going to see lots of our own dying as a consequence. But, you know apart from that, it’s going to give the fantastic battalion of Labour Party members, community champions out there a great opportunity of showing how Labour, and why Labour, is best when it gets on the front foot and best when it gets people together.
We need to make sure that we do that, and community organising what a great opportunity it’s going to give us.“

The question is - would you have defended the comments if a Tory had made them?

There would be nothing to defend, there's nothing wrong with any party urging its members to go out and help in their communities. All this was about was right wing media outlets desperate to politically exploit the crisis to distract from the incompetence of the Tory government who have put the economy before people's lives and after over 2 months of the cv19 being here still not testing enough, still not providing PPE to those in the frontline
 
No it was about someone seeing this as an opportunity. Not 'difficult times where we can help', 'an occasion when we can stand up an be counted'. No an opportunity to be taken advantage of.

There is none so blind as those consumed by their own bitterness and hatred that they can't see the failings on BOTH sides. Often it's legitimate, part of the human condition - the lack of perfection - but you cannot help yourselves but to find every opportunity to spew your bile and then come out with dishonest statements like the one above.

You would have been masturbating your disgust in collective glee if a Tory said that and you don't have the balls to admit it.
 
There has been a good political solidarity throughout this epidemic. The government's handling has been criticized at times, no more so than from Jeremy Hunt. I don't see why anyone wants to make political points and then claim others would as well in similar circumstances?
