Let's Get Political!

That I agree with, after all Corbyn and Abbott in the club someone has to do the joined up thinking. Oh he is also a millionaire as well. When you going to lynch him for having more than you?

These days millionaires are fairly thick on the ground.... the labour party has always been for the worker making the most of him/herself whether by ideas, cleverness or physical graft

Would you care to share some examples of Corbyn's behaviour that merit your analysis?

terrorist-loving, Jew-baiting, for starters

21 months ago Labour under Corbyn achieved the biggest swing at a GE since Attlee in 45...... 9.6%.

Unfortunately not enough to win, but enough to prevent the Tories riding roughshod over the British people.... the purpose of opposition.

In what way has he managed to hamper the Tories? Social care cuts? Education slashed? Police cutbacks? Universal Credit? The omnishambles that is Brexit? Selling off the NHS? He has not managed to stop any of this, instead he's allowed himself to be hamstrung by inaction and navel gazing over anti-Semitism and Venezuela, both easily avoided, and internal factionalism of his supporters which he has shown far more enthusiasm for than holding the govt to account, which is actually the job of the opposition.A job he has significantly failed at

Bollocks.

Polls aren’t perfect but the fact that Labour are trailing the worst government in living memory says everything you need to know about Corbyn’s leadership ability

Wasn’t a huge Ed Milliband guy, wanted David, however Labour would be taking advantage of the current situation if he was still at the helm

It’s OK, Uri Geller has stepped in and offered his services in an open letter to May. Problem solved, then.

Think the MPs are all bent enough as it is without his help! What we really need is Gazza to rock up to No 10 with a bucket of chicken and a couple of six packs of lager

They used to be reg, until the war criminal decided he wanted to be a tory all but in name. Labour party are dead.So are the rest to be fair. Be funny when the next turn out is below 30%. except it wont really.

See the Brexit go-slow on the M4 and M5 this evening which was going to "bring the country to it's knees" ... erm, didn't: this is the Bristol Post's summary of what a country on it's knees looks like:

"The protest appears to be over before it began in Bristol, with no disruption hitting the area at all.

Our sister website Cornwall Live has given the following insight into how the demonstration kicked off on the south coast.

About 10 vehicles set off along the A30. The vehicles, three of which were decorated in banners and flags, left the service station at Plusha at about 3.30pm.

No lorries took part.

Organisers initially said 25 people had signed up to take part in the rolling road block after the prime minister asked the European Union to delay the UK’s exit date beyond March 29.

Speaking at the start of the protest, organiser Ian Grindod said: “It was never going to be a massive event anyway.”

Things got worse for the demonstrators further along the A30, when police stopped nine vehicles and reported two motorists for inconsiderate driving."

On a par with Nigel's March #sadface

Would you care to share some examples of Corbyn's behaviour that merit your analysis?

Genuine question; are you at all aware of how much you undermine any good points you make by posting this kind of garbage?

I can't believe I am biting but here goes.  Latest example is walking out of No 10 because Chuka was there. A key accusation against his leadership is that he is more interested in gesture politics than actually  achieving anything for the British people.  That action fits that narrative perfectly.

[Flashheart]

There's clearly a smear campaign against Corbyn and I think 90% of the stick he gets is unwarranted.

But it's still obvious that the bloke's a wet blanket.

This century’s Michael Foot. Unelectable.

As Flasher points out Corbyn is subject to a sustained campaign of smear.... it works, look at Ed Milliband painted as some sort of dangerous Marxist, or weird for the way he eats a bacon sandwich.  Would have made a perfectly good PM.

It's politics, a dirty business....

So you have given example Corbyn walked out of the meeting when realising he''d been stitched up... perhaps a misjudgement, but I'd have probably done the same, and not exactly crime of the century.

Corbyn is no Michael Foot... look at the manifesto when we get an election.  Foot's 1983 Labour party was genuinely left wing. 

There will be little in the next Labour manifesto, which would raise an eyebrow, in any mainstream European Social/Christian Democratic Party.

The problem is that most things have lurched off to the right.... it's what happens after economic crash, hence why we live in dangerous times.
