Check out his first leaders speech, the whole thing is a charter for spongers and handouts, he wants your money folks.

I dont know about that. He didn't mention the Royal Family or the City of London once as far as I can recall.

Who'll stand in the shadow cabinet.

If we work on the basis that collective responsibility will continue to apply many Labour MPs will have a problem serving under Mr Corbyn.

Mr Corbyn will need about 20-24 shadow ministers which is c10% of the Parliamentary party.

oh no that means the Conservatives will be in power longer than anticipated...

Three current ministers have resigned already.

The shine is already wearing off. Mr Corbyn isn't bringing unity to the Labour party. Seems to be splitting it further.

The Telegraph are predicting that Corbun will contemporaneously make Labour become irrelevant and destroy the United Kingdom.

The MSM at some point needs to decide amongst itself whether Labour is now the communist peril ready to indecently interfere with House Prices, Maddie, Caravanning holidays, and the memory of Diana, or an irrelevant spent force.

I fail to see how it can be both.

The first PMQs are going to be interesting. Corbyn will metaphorically tear Cameron a new one.

60% of the Labour party voted for Corbryn, a massive majority that is larger than Blair enjoyed.

It appears that in actual fact many Labour MPs are woefully out of touch with their own constituents. I doubt many of us will be mourning the loss of Tristram Hunt from the Shadow Cabinet. A man who seemed to have got lost on his way to Tory HQ and somehow ended up in the Labour Party due to a clerical error. Like most of the Blairites.

Blair was disliked by the unions.

Blair was liked by the electorate.

Sums up the situation today.

Corbyn has 35 years of history at Westminster.............

That's a lot of mud..........

As a floating voter, able to choose between parties when I vote, I rely on having a sensible choice, until today that was Labour or Conservative. So though I voted story at the last election, I was keen that Labour would remain a moderate, left of centre, party. I am disappointed at the result of their leadership election.

With Corbyn at the helm, that's not the case any more, and my potential vote is lost for the Labour Party. In that it is the floating voter that determines the winner in a UK election, if floating voters think as I do (which I think will be the case), Labour have locked themselves out of power.

Out of interest what would it take for you to vote for a Corbyn led Labour Party at the next election or would you simply not vote for Labour with Mr Corbyn at the helm?
