He's still trading on Iraq, which you'd think only he had opposed.

As the recently-departed Nicky Tesco once said, "This is a medley of our greatest hit".

[Tubby Isaacs]

Ha ha.

He can certainly make a case for others too, though Syria is a big mark against him.

[mattomac]

He would lose his support if he changed tack now.

Not like his support is worth anything like, they are the empty vessels that make the most noise.

[Crabcakes]

If only we knew exactly who was responsible, eh Jez? It’s a real mystery.

[Malcolm Armsteen]

He's demanding that the bullets be sent to Moscow for identification...

[The Weeping Angel]

Oh look war crimes denial

[Tubby Isaacs]

Here's more from Howell.

I think Jez may just have done a bit of clumsy phrasing, but you don't get the benefit of the doubt so much when you try and blame NATO for the war. Whatever else Johnson is, he's been reasonably clear on that.

[Tubby Isaacs]

There was me supporting Blair for Labour leader till I saw this.

Tell you what, Howell - how about we say they’re BOTH shit?

[Tubby Isaacs]

Johnson's shit but UK's been good on military support for Ukraine. People know that the Tories will show up with tanks if they have to. They know Corbyn Labour wouldn't have.

Oh look war crimes denial

Interesting that he's gone for outright denial, the ones I've spoken to have said "YEBBUT ALEPPO"

[Youngian]

Wake up, sheeples!

[Andy McDandy]

"Prolong the war" sounds nasty. Maybe we shouldn't have prolonged the war after Dunkirk? Could have saved on all that lend-lease.

[Boiler]

That cunt Brand can get in the fucking sea.

[davidjay]

All hail the great man:

[Abernathy]

Anyone else is making precisely this point, and more besides. Jez isn’ t the fucking oracle.

[mattomac]

Could have spent browsing for five minutes on Google to find better takes than that.

[Crabcakes]

I've seen people who support the bloody conservatives make this point. No problem with Corbyn on this occasion - anyone with an audience adding to the pressure on the govt. to bin the idea is welcome. But the hero worship is bewildering, given it would take mere seconds to show that it is neither unique or even particularly well put across.
