James Whale compares Jeremy Corbyn conference speech to Neil Kinnock's 1992 disaster

James Whale has said the speech given by Jeremy Corbyn at this week's Labour Party Conference reminded him of Neil Kinnock's infamous performance at the Sheffield Rally on the eve of the 1992 general election.
James was referring to a speech in which Kinnock, then the Labour leader and the favourite to win the election, adopted an American accent to shout "We're all right" over and over again - an act which was roundly mocked for its naivety.
Kinnock went on to lose the election to John Major's Conservatives, and James said Corbyn should beware falling for the "hysteria" which greeted his headline speech at this week's conference.
James said: "It seems to be abroad in the Labour Party, people who seem to be hysterical about Jeremy Corbyn.
"The last time that happened, it was Neil Kinnock. Remember he came on at the conference with the pop music?
"That was more or less how Corbyn did it today [Wednesday].
"He's like an old Bay City Roller, isn't he?"

Conrad

Hammonds speech on socialism 02/10/2017

A quick summary, not word for word;

A few nations have held out to the trend of market economies and rising living standards;

CUBA – cows in fields but no milk in shops, the citizens must be eternally grateful the State controls the price of milk

ZIMBABWE – once 1 of the most prosperous, productive nations on the continent, now not so much as bread basket as a basket case

VENEZUELA – rich beyond imagination in resources, where the economic policies publically supported by JC have so tragically impoverished its people they can no longer feed themselves, economy has contacted 4 yrs in a row and inflation runs at 1000%

Briliant speech by Hammond.

Shame it wasn't made during the GE.

Theresa's speech won't need to be mashed with anything to make it funny. :rotfl:
A P45, slogans disintegrating behind her back and a coughing fit.
All that while endorsing Labour policies like an energy price cap and increased council house building.

Not a fan of May? I wouldn't have expected you to prefer Corbyn, since he's far more euro-sceptic than May ever was. Obviously he pretends otherwise if he happens to think he's talking to a pro-remain crowd.

Indeed.
I can't criticise Mayo`s dislike of this Tory government, but Corbyn and McDonnell know that to carry out their socialist agenda they need to seize back the all the levers of economic power currently in Brussels and return them to Westminster. For rabid remainers who wish to vote for Corbyn's Labour this is a problem. The betrayal will come eventually.

The way the Tories are going at present, Corbyn will be getting in by default at the next election...

I still have no idea who the next Tory leader is going to be ( I really can't see any way in which May leads them into the next election unless the government simply collapses unexpectedly before they have the time to give her the boot).

Boris Johnson shows himself to be ever more unsuited for ministerial office never mind the PM job.

The social conservatives may love Rees Mogg but he's done nothing of note in his career, and like Johnson I don't sense that he has huge popularity in the parliamentary party.

Davis maybe, although age isn't on his side, and I don't see anyone being too happy with whatever Brexit deal gets delivered, so he's going to take flak for that.

Rudd and Hammond are too "Remainy" for the members and Rudd is in too much of a marginal anyway.

Are there any other obvious candidates around?

And stealing speeches from a TV show.
