    The more you lot scream and tantrum about Corbyn the more we want to vote for him.

    Carry on.

    I must say, I don't think Angela Eagle or Owen Smith are any better.

    Labour has no talent.

    Is he? Where's the evidence to support such an assertion.

    That'll be the fact that
    A third of Labour voters think Theresa May would make a better Prime Minister than Jeremy Corbyn

    Same old Labour oppose oppose oppose. Where's a credible economic plan B ? Had enough years to formulate one.

    Headlines from the weekend were of raising of higher rate tax. Not the solution to the problems.

    It might not be the solution to your problems but it would be a good start for many who are left behind.

    Anyway, as I said. There is no debate to be had here. Only closed minds and timorous, privileged men who fear change.

    I'm not in the social group you're castigating (oh the irony), and I disagree with Corbyn's stance. I'm much more in favour of libertarianism, you do what you do, I'll do what I do (within the remits of law of course) and we live or die by our life choices. I agree that there should be a safety net for people unable to compete, disabled, medically ill, but those who can - should. If they choose not to then that should be their issue. Although recently I feel that responsibility for ones actions has been lost from our society.

    If Jeremy Corbyn hadn't been the only candidate at the leadership election last year to oppose these, he wouldn't be leader now.


    It's a total joke.


    pity Corbyn didn't condemn the IRA bombers who planted bombs in Warrington high st. and the birmngham pubs and the brighton hotel and other places that killed and maimed.

    There are a couple of new polls out:

    The Tories are sitting on a lead of about 10%. It looks like those people that abandoned Labour for UKIP have moved on to the Conservatives. Oh well, I think Labour might be an idea whose time has passed. I wonder what will replace it.
