Mick Lynch is the exact sort of person that you would want at the forefront of Labour and the exact sort of person you'd expect a Labour politician to be. Honest, fair, respectful, straight-talking and cool-headed. There was not a single journalistic or political hot-take on the strike action yesterday that he failed to easily and calmly dismantle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought John McDonnell would do this and for a few years he was very good with the media but when things came to the crunch he fucked it on Brexit while Corbyn stood firm under pressure. Looking at the SCG it doesn't look like there is anyone ready to step up. Zarah Sultana is the most capable but she's very young and the press will destroy her. Claudia Webbe has already been destroyed by the courts/ security services. Burgon has good politics but doesn't come across well. Sharon Graham at Unite is impressive as well but the media would go into hysterics if a strong union leader moved onto the front bench (moving from a hedge fund or big Tobacco to the front bench is completely natural obviously).

GiGi Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 We should just have a Mick Lynch appreciation thread at this point. Would be good to collect all of the heads he's taking across Labour, Tories and shite journalists. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remaining calm and pointing out journalists that are insulting the audience by acting stupid to try and trap him. Are you a Marxist? Ehhhh.... No m9, i'm an elected trade unionism, why are you talking about Marxism?

Albus Bulbasaur Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 He has been doing very well and been quite impressive. Was perhaps quite needlessly hostile to Jenny Chapman on Politics Live. You can tell he loves the argument because he lowkey tried to create one out of nowhere with her then quickly gave up and said he'd prefer Keir to the shower we have right now. The Kay Burley one was one of the best political interviews I've seen in a long time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee-Bey Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 What Lynch and the RMT are doing well is broadening the argument to make it 'all workers v government/bosses' rather than narrowing it to a RMT v Rail companies dispute. It helps that Lynch can speak honestly because he doesn't give a f**k if he's not invited back for not toeing the party line. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Kay Burley equating this to the miners strike. Daily Mail equating the loss of trains to lockdown. BBC bland to the point of sleep. British journalism is utter bollocks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin_Nevis Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 That Kay Burley interview is wild. It's like watching an episode of Drop the Dead Donkey. She's so far out of her depth it's scarcely believable [emoji23] 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You couldn’t write that as satire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty dingus Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Mick Lynch getting interviewed and schooling Piers Morgan and Kay Burley is top TV. He's also kicking all Tory challengers and having digs at Sir Shush Starmer. The reason he's getting so much support is because the public know these politicians lie and the compliment media know it too and say f**k all. He's only calling a spade a spade. Also on politics live when baroness whoever gave the game away by saying Starmer says nothing about nothing as he wants to become PM by not being worse than Bozo and claim it by default. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't she the arsehole that was shoving a microphone under the noses of parents who'd just lost their kids in some horrendous accident? An absolute cuntress, so obviously any and all episodes of her being publicly humiliated make for excellent viewing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure, but she definitely seems like that type given she's clearly a massive Tory scumbag. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Sorely lacking a "THE MAN WHO HATES BRITAIN" headline from the Daily Heil. I guess they thought this would be over by now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a Labour politician makes that winning argument in the media the topic is sudden changed to Anti Semitism or gender or the deficit. In 2019 there was more debate about Corbyn not supporting the fascist coup in Bolivia than housing or employment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that not as much because the labour party ends up trying to answer those topic changes instead of just blanking it, when blanking it would probably kill the nonstory that it is Edited June 23, 2022 by BigDoddyKane 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
