There is a terrible Adam Sandler movie called 50 First Dates. There are many terrible Adam Sandler movies, but this one is a right honker. Sandler falls in love with Drew Barrymore, who suffers from anterograde amnesia — an inability to retain new memories. He tries to help her remember but she keeps forgetting. Eventually, he makes a video explaining everything, shows her it each morning, and they live happily ever after. This, I kid you not, made $200 million.
Someone needs to make a video for Labour supporters to combat their Corbynesia. At Prime Minister’s Questions, Theresa May talked up the many areas where she and Jeremy Corbyn agree on Brexit, ahead of a meeting to reach a cross-party consensus and get her withdrawal agreement passed. ‘We both want to protect jobs,’ she told the House. ‘We both want to ensure that we end free movement’. Corbyn’s spokesperson confirmed the latter point in a post-PMQs briefing to journalists, who then reported it, to the astonishment of Labour members and left-wing commentators on social media.
Corbynesia wipes the memory of all sorts of things.
