Corbyn is like a dinosaur. Soon to be extinct as failed to evolve in a fast changing world. Even crocodiles managed to adapt to different conditions.

You and your buddies have spent the last forty years pushing the electoral landscape of the UK so far to the right that the current Labour Party is indistinguishable from the Tory Party of the eighties.

I for one, am glad to have a front row seat.

if toastie didn't exist, then the tories would have needed to invent him as their best ever recruiting agent.

if it wasn't for his hatred of his parents I would in fact believe he is a tory provocateur; but the tories are too decent for that.

Something nobody really seems to have cottoned on to - in the MSM at least - is that there I absolutely no reason to think that after shattering election defeat, Corbyn will resign. Why would he do that? He is still leader and will not quit unless voted out. And that looks highly unlikely.

I think the model to look at I Arthur Scargill. That's what we should expect from Corbyn. He's automatically on the ballot as leader which means, given the composition of the Labour party, that he is leader for life - like Scargill.

Corbyn will lose badly come the GE but he won't resign. He'll blame the PLP for the defeat and with maybe 170 MPs left, and a lot of big names probably standing sown, there'll be no credible candidate to oppose him. Corbyn will still be there in 2025, I reckon, and given that about 8 million people will and would vote Labour even if their leader were the Yorkshire Ripper he will point to these votes as proof that if not for the traitors he could have won.

Scargill is still leader of the NUM even though it now has almost no members...

The fact you actually associate that repulsive political party and all the "fck you" unearned privilege that it and its venal supporters espouse, pretty much sums up Tory voters.

Yeah keep telling yourself that while you are trying to justify your triple locked state pension and winter fuel allowance.

your hatred for your fellow citizen with a different political opinion and for your parents and for everyone over 50, and for most of the labour supporters, is a deeply troubling issue.
You need medical help asap.

Sadly the Tories you love so much seem to be pretty keen on ensuring that there isn't an NHS any more so medical attention is becoming quite scarce.

A point nuanced of irony which, naturally, is completely and utterly lost on you.

I agree Corbyn will be Leader until the next election, but not that he will have 170 MPs. I expect about 40, though a combination of Tory and UKIP gains, a revival of the Lib Dems and existing Labour MPs standing against the Corbyn candidates diving the vote.

By the next election Labour will be lucky to get 4 million votes if the centre left organises itself properly.

He does not need to justify it, it is Government policy. Many retired Labour supporters living on £150 a week will not be impressed by your attempts to label them as wealthy boomers.

Had you lived through the 1980s you would not take this view.

Would you rather have a Labour Government with left of centre policies or a Corbyn led party perpetually in opposition?

You can argue whether Blair was sufficiently left wing but he did win 3 elections.

A full dose of what, this time next year Corbyn will probably not even be Leader of the Opposition, which seems fair since he has not provided any.
