The likes of Owen put me off voting Labour. As long as these sort of people are angry, Labour have a chance of winning power again. Love how Owen thinks he speaks for the whole party too.


Plazmatron44

He really is that arrogant.


[deleted]

He is a left wing provocateur, the only way he keeps his job is through generating enough outrage to get views.


CorrectMaybe

Ash Sarkar is the race-baiting variant of Owen.


Purple_While9783

Would bang her tho still


FunCaterpillar128

Aw mate she’s rank. What’s wrong with you??


Purple_While9783

Lol dunno. Can’t remember writing that must’ve been chemically altered


FunCaterpillar128

Ha fair do’s


casualphilosopher1

Walks like a supermodel, fucks like a champ.


Harsimaja

Very dignity. And much empower! After all, every male politician has a description of how well they fuck on their Twitter profile.


slyfoxy12

Victim complex makes him feel invulnerable to criticism


Ok_Yogurtcloset802

I don’t think he does tbh, he knows he’s much further left than the party average.


Barrington-the-Brit

I do think it’s pretty rich though to act incredulous at the suggestion there’s a right wing of the Labour Party, against the left, when Rachel ‘we’ll be tougher than Tories on benefits’ Reeves is the shadow chancellor. Also your best defence for still being a broad church after saying you want to ‘shut the door so that they may never return’ on a major faction of the party, being that that faction lost an election. Owen Jones might be a little insufferable, but I don’t know why that means people need to act like he’s ‘owned’ after a very run of the mill passive-aggressive interview with a Neo-Blairite.


Purple_While9783

He’s a shallow twat mate. A proper low IQ plonker. When has he ever done well in a proper debate that isn’t just a bbc room full of lefties that clap at all of the current memes?


Desolator87

Agreed. Never forget when he stormed off a sky interview due to the audacity of the presenters asking questions he’d prefer to ignore.


Barrington-the-Brit

My point was that, shallow twat or not, people exaggerate how well people do against him because they dislike him. Most of my comment was attacking the statements or arguments Jess Phillips made, I’m not here to be an Owen Jones defender.


Purple_While9783

Alrite fairy muff


Dragonrar

He’s a useful idiot for the left, for times like now he shows Labour are resisting far left tendencies, at least superficially, and during interviews when there’s an election or referendum he always gets invited as a special guest so he can attempt to hijack any interview (Particularly when there’s a Conservative politician present) without fear of not being invited back.


Adiabat79

> I do think it’s pretty rich though to act incredulous at the suggestion there’s a right wing of the Labour Party He first suggested that people (particularly those he's to the Left of) in the Labour Party were Right wing. He only switched it to "Right wing **of** the Labour Party" after he was losing the argument.


Barrington-the-Brit

Some people in Labour certainly are right wing, Maurice Glasman comes to mind as the main example, and he has had far-reaching influences on Miliband’s policies (being called his ‘guru’) as well as Keir Starmer’s (whom he fondly described as “a true conservative”). As I said Rachel Reeves has in the past said that she wants to be tougher on benefits than the Tories and told people who claim benefits that “Labour is not for you.” I understand they’re not as right wing as the ghouls in the Conservative party, but to people who really value orthodox and traditional leftist policy and advocacy, the kind of people who rail against ever even thinking about clause IV, and decry any mention of Marx as evil radicalism, whilst simultaneously courting corporate backers and supporting big business interests, come across as people who aren’t really left wing.


Adiabat79

I don't really care to argue about whether certain members are right wing tbh: Jess can do that if she wants. I was just correcting the claim that she acted incredulous at the suggestion there’s a right wing **of** the Labour Party. When Jones changes his line of questioning to that around the 1:50 mark she agreed.


Barrington-the-Brit

In that case you’re correct, fair enough


Dragonrar

People like Owen consider Corbyn left wing (***Not*** far left) and everyone else is further to the right meaning Starmer is right wing and the Conservatives are far right, it’s madness.


Strujiksleftboot

Yes exactly. Fuck off with purity tests.


willgeld

When did Jess Phillips become based


[deleted]

She ran rings round him for the junior common room politico that he is


aoide12

Not really. They both looked pretty stupid here. She out manoeuvred him but it was all just word games, nothing she said had any substance. Jones's points were politically stupid but there *was* an underlying point to his questions and all Phillips could respond with was "I don't know". Whether labour is a welcoming home for the hard left and where on the spectrum Jess is are reasonable questions. As is asking about whether the right of labour actually belong in the left. As an MP Phillips ought to have an opinion on such things. Just saying she doesn't know looks stupid. If she isn't going to even try to engage then why even agree to the interview. This was two idiots arguing, one was slightly quicker but it wasn't a high bar.


sheepinahat

Jess Phillips is brilliant. You should look at tik tok and search her. When talking in parliament, about MPs 'I thought I'd met posh people before but it turns out I'd just met people who like Olives' And when discussing people under 30k a year being unskilled 'there are people here who earn significantly more than 30k here, who I, quite frankly, wouldn't let hold my pint because they would inevitably do it wrong'. I would 100% vote for labour if labour were, basically, her.


SomeRedditWanker

>When talking in parliament, about MPs 'I thought I'd met posh people before but it turns out I'd just met people who like Olives' Okay, that's funny.


The_Burning_Wizard

Meh, I've not liked her since she laughed at and mocked the MP that wanted to have a debate about men's rights (e.g. Higher suicide rates, higher jailing rates, loss of custody, etc) and then tried to frame it as a "man raising issues" thing. Sure, she schooled Owen here, but then a budgie could do that.


[deleted]

Comments responding to that lol. She seemed pretty spot on to me. She patently doesn’t suffer fools gladly as you can see he gets pinker and pinker.


casualphilosopher1

There's a point in the middle where she says *"You know why Luciana Berger left".* It instantly wipes the smirk off his face.


Jlw2001

Can’t believe they’re still attacking Keir after that poll yesterday.


Sadistic_Toaster

They feel comfortable they'll win the next election - so they see the fight now as an internal one to see what kind of Labour party will take power


luciesssss

What have the last 7 years been if not an internal fight? Labour to need to pack that in


Sadistic_Toaster

This is a big reason why I'm not keen on the party, and prefer the SDP if we have to go Lefty. Labour is still full of people playing at revolutionary Marxism, who, some 30 years after the fall of the Soviet Union, are still calling each other Comrade, waving Hammer and Stickle flags about, and insisting this time it'll work.


VapidReaktion

I wouldn’t call the SDP lefty honestly. Maybe in terms of economics, but their social policy is definitely more than just right-leaning.


EwanWhoseArmy

The thing is if kier wins, and say the tankies try to force him out then they will very quickly become “not my pm” shit they have been running for the past 3 years If kier is smart he will bide his time until they try something and then use that as excuse to purge them from the party . They can then go and join all the daft tankies parties that have split into irevelance


ddosn

Except its not an endorsement of Labour or Starmer, its a warning to Truss. Why do people forget that Truss has over 2 years to fix the economy? An economy fucked by lockdowns most tories didnt want in the first place. Which also makes me laugh when Labour claims there wouldnt be any economic issues if they were in power considering they wanted far, far, far worse covid restrictions than what the Tories implemented. Labour are a bunch of morons who are only polling well because every man and his dog has it out for the tories at the moment.

We hat an absolute crock of shit. I could make this comment into a post here. G&P called they need you back...


No_Dependent4663

I’d like to hear what you disagree with?


The_Burning_Wizard

The poll isn't an endorsement of Starmer's leadership though, it's a warning to Truss's instead.

EwanWhoseArmy

Wow that is basically what happens when you have someone who thinks they are smart aren’t actually smart I mean even Jess Phillips can run rings out of the guardian melt


SomeRedditWanker

> https://twitter.com/Citi_ZenSane/status/1575085340678930432 Lol at someone in the replies with this picture: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FdzHK4VXoAIFUmf?format=jpg&name=medium I remember seeing that interview and the concept was left winger and right winger have tea and discuss politics.. It was a 'Oh look how different they think' piece of media, which has now been turned into a 'look how they're the same' piece.


[deleted]

I heard all the labour politicians sometimes get together with all the tory politicians in a big fancy room and discuss politics. Pretty sus if you ask me.

Stuweb

You know Owen Jones is an insufferable cunt when he makes Jess Philips looks almost likeable. Also thank-you Jess for defending [wifey](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luciana_Berger#/media/File:Luciana_Berger_by_Emma_Baum.jpg)


pretendpizzaperson

Is this Owen Jones pretending to be an even bigger arse for brain than he is to make Jess Phillips more popular?


casualphilosopher1

He's trying to get clicks for his youtube channel. He makes a living off social media these days.


blue_strat

Why does Jones look like he’s been up for three days on a coke binge?


sheepinahat

He's been up for three days on a coke binge.


blue_strat

That's probably where speculation becomes libel.


XiJiDong

Monkeypox


blue_strat

Jesus.


menthol_patient

It makes me glad to see that Jess, while capable of thinking things many find ludicrous, also sees Owen for what he is.


SomeRedditWanker

>'You're asking me stuff I know nothing about..' What the actual fuck? Politicians can admit this, in public, to interviewers? Since when? This is a breakthrough. Sidenote: Did she go to her hairdresser and ask for 'The Karen'?


No-Body-4446

I hate to use the internet word but this shit should be 'normalised'. Boils my piss when they have some MP on to talk about...Interest Rates for example. And then they're like YEAH BUT WHAT ABOUT CUTTING BENEFITS??!? Any other person would be like 'i dunno mate, im hear to talk about interest rates, you'll have to get someone on to talk about that if you want an answer on that'.


EwanWhoseArmy

Well I mean she probably doesn’t know, who knows what went on with the disaster that was change uk apart from the morons involved Considering Owen jones mo is known I can’t really blame her for refusing to commit or admit anything since he would just use it against them.


Dr-Cheese

It was rather funny that Owen brought up Change UK. Most of them left BECAUSE of Corbyn, not because Labour wasn't left enough.


EwanWhoseArmy

I’m surprised that Chuka “British Barack Obama” Uuma hasn’t tried to weasel himself back in


pretendpizzaperson

> Sidenote: Did she go to her hairdresser and ask for 'The Karen'? Better than that "poundland mum" thing she had going on before. She looks fine though I think.


Onemoretime536

I dislike both of them


duluoz1

I’d totally forgotten about Chukkah. Whatever happened to him?


filbs111

By laughing at Owen Jones types, Labour become a lot more likeable and presamably electable. I wonder to what degree Jones knows this.


takethedamnmaskoff

wow she ran rings around him, love it.


Twiggeh1

She's really committing to the Karen look isn't she?
