Hummm. Sounds like you want people to lose their jobs???

Be positive mayonnaise....

Reed.co.uk, the jobs website, said 151,836 new jobs had been added since the referendum, 8 per cent more than were added in the same period last year.

Amazing....150,000 jobs created in just 3 weeks since the brexit vote. Must be Liam Fox's new free trade agreements kicking in.

If 150,000 jobs had been lost, would you dismiss that by saying "It can't be because of Brexit because we are still in the EU for at least two more years"?

Still leaves 3.5 million people either looking for work or wanting an increase in working hours. Another 300,000 migrants isn't going to help the cause.

Reed are the only agency that I've seen saying this. Maybe they are trying to recruit Brexit negotiators and insolvency practitioners?

Skills are lacking these days. Too many call centre operatives.

JC is a decent fellow who says what a lot of people think.

Why are you lot all so anti him?

What you say might very well be accurate. I'm not sure these two items constitute the majority of attributes required by a prime minister though!

Even if the majority of the members of the Labour Party agree that he is the best person to lead their party, there is the rather more daunting task of convincing the electorate to vote in sufficient numbers for his party for Labour to form a majority, seemingly with practically no support from meaningful numbers of MPs from Scotland and with them facing problems in parts of England.

In these circumstances, what is seen as a pretty left wing Labour Party overcoming a 100+ seats deficit in England appears, to put it mildly, 'problematic'.

That also assumes that Labour can hold all the seats they currently have. In any Labour-Conservative or Labour-LibDem marginals, deselecting a 'centre' or 'right wing' sitting Labour MP and installing a left wing candidate might not attract many converts to the Labour cause, particularly if the deselected candidate stands again even if only to obtain a redundancy/severance payment. Personally, I'd have thought that would make the chances of the newly installed candidate negligible.

That twopence worth is my quick summary, for what it's worth this far ahead of an election.

I think that's why so many people are "anti him". As I've mentioned to others there is little point in being a party of left wing ideological purity if you remain in opposition. Seems to me that the Corbynites would rather win the leadership and stay in long-term opposition than win an election as part of a far broader 'church' and at least have a chance of seeing some cherished policies being put into law.

Just all IMO of course. I've yet to hear from any Corbynite of the 100+ target seats in England and Wales they are confident of taking, on the assumption that a massive Labour comeback in Scotland is not particularly likely.

Hope that helps :cool: .
