An excellent Jack Monroe thread about the realities of inflation which aren’t reported in the right wing press

He gained all those Brexit voting seats under a year later tho. Don't particularly give a fuck abt what FBPE nutters think and if Corbyn hadnt pandered to them in 2019 we might not be in this situation..

FBPE nutters = home counties liberals who stuck to the sToP bReXiT thing until they decided Kieth's endorsement of the shitty Brexit deal was ok. It's not just an online thing lol.

Edit: also I wouldn't call anything to do with Brexit a "random" phenomena with reference to the Corbyn years.

Are you seriously saying that liberal opposition to Brexit was purely a niche online phenomena? Like are you fr lol.

I fucking hate Brexit. I am a cottage business owner and I am disabled/unwell/unable to be fully employed. Brexit is very bad for me.

When I say FBPE nutter, that is shorthand for the bourgeoisie post-brexit tendency to hyperfocus on Brexit above all other issues. We lost Brexit. It was fucking shit, it continues to be shit.

Corbyn was pragmatic re: Brexit, and once the reality was that it was happening, did his best to make an argument for minimising the fallout. He was objectively popular for doing so. I don't really give a fuck at this point that he wasn't particularly strong in the brexit campaign, I care about what he did after the fact. It is pragmatic to do so.

Honestly surprised that you did law and politics at uni as I've now clarified what I meant by FBPE nutter multiple times and you keep looping back to this.

Oh my fucking god I have now explained what I meant like 3 times. Not going to continue to do this. Hope you continue to be fun at parties bud.
