Explain precisely why the Lib Dems should’ve backed a pro-Brexit politician? I’m serious. Stop being a worthless bloody troll and put down some substance you damnable coward. 

Your man here is very interested in not admitting that Corbyn has never been anti-Brexit and the only reason the Lib Dems could seize the “repeal Article 50" position is because Corbyn spent years running away from it with vehemence. 

This pissy little troll is now dismissing the responses that make him look less special and intelligent than he feels. Bloody mature. 

Corbyn has repeatedly refused to take an anti-Brexit position, despite widespread anger in Labour outside of his more loyal cadres.

Please note this explicit evidence that he/she did not read the article, which contains far more than that and which explicitly supports my point about Corbyn and his pro-Brexit bullshit.

I know what I’m talking about. Your man there, well, he’s less informed than he thinks. Or more biased than he realizes. Regardless you might want to reconsider.

Also, I don’t think anyone who thinks Corbyn is anti-Brexit has any damn business claiming I don’t know what I’m talking about. Labour has pissed away so many chances to take the anti-Brexit position under him. 

Preferable, but it won’t happen because there’s too many incentives against such a straight answer. 

You know the Lib Dems have changed leadership since then, right? The previous leader was far more Brexit friendly than the current leader. I’m responding to recent news.

Brexit is a giant mess, a group of far-right hardliners getting called on their lies when basically no one expected that to happen. There’s a fair bit of evidence many of the people who voted for it in the initial referendum have changed their minds as the chaotic mess has been ongoing for awhile. If Labour wasn’t too…

I spent a few years doing freelance stuff in the production industry. Both my parents have worked in it off and on since before I was born, and my dad was pretty well known. I heard all the politics and financial executive bullshit as well as how bad it messed up gigs and was happy I was generally doing lower level…

I wish I was shocked by this. The perception that tech companies will be different than any other company really should be put to rest. 

Khalilzad is our negotiator, but otherwise you’re probably on the money. It shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the Taliban’s ideology and goals. 

I’m fairly certain it was both, as both were referenced as making the US possible party to war crimes. But I could be remembering wrong. It was near the end of his presidency. 

Obama stopped US refueling and ammunition sales to the coalition in Yemen, far too late, but Trump began them again. Given Yemen is currently a core haven for surviving al-Qaeda, some of whom seem to be getting money from either the Saudis or the UAE as local militias, I wonder when Mattis will criticize that failure.…

He was aligned with the wildly deranged “we must have war with Iran” pseudo-intellectual industry as well as some ties to anti-Muslim groups as well. He’s been coasting on the generally uncritical portrayal of military leadership in civilian press and being the “adult” in Trump’s daycare.

Mattis is wildly oversimplifying what happened, which doesn’t suit his narrative as well as “they didn’t listen to the military”. It was the Obama administration’s diplomatic failures in Iraq, particularly with Sunni discontent, rather than the troop withdrawal that gave space for the Islamic State expansion. The…

The talks weren’t secret, the Camp David meeting talks were. What Trump did was, I think, a bad attempt to dangle legitimacy in front of the Taliban. But that’s not really what they care about, and cancelling creates no leverage I can see (nor can Afghan experts). With a state actor, a visit for a formal summit to…

Camp David is prestige. It’s leveraging his office. It’s traditional. He likes using those things as bludgeons to support his ego. Other presidents held peace talks and summits there.
