    What! ...............I'm the one asking for political balance rather than the continuous, monotonous smearing by the usual suspects;)
    It's so eddifying that people are more interested in easy target Corbyn bashing than commenting on the absolute state of our NHS and Social Care services. What is the world coming to!
  • Oh right. I didn't know.

    ive no idea exactly why, and it doesn't matter. I disagree with him totally in nearly every respect, but he should still be allowed to state his views IMO.

    Such is life...

    You might be misunderstanding the motives of the Corbyn bashers. Well, some, anyway.

    From my point of view a leader of the Labour Party who is useless CANNOT threaten the Government - if the middle ground voters think he is an eejit, they will never consider risking him becoming PM.

    It follows with an elegant inevitability that if the Labour Party cannot be elected into Government, the Conservatives can basically do what they want. An unelectable opposition gives the Conservatives no reason to modify their approach to the NHS, Social Care services or anything else!

    Jeremy Corbyn’s Approval Rating Slides Into Net Negative For Every Demographic

    Even Paul Nuttall is ahead.

    Even more worrying for Corbyn is that amongst young/old, North/South, Leave/Remain, male/female, middle/working class and even those who voted Labour in 2015, Corbyn has a net negative approval rating (% who replied favourably, minus % who replied unfavourably).
    Amongst the working class, traditionally Labour’s heartland, he has a score of -40 and amongst the 18-24 age group, -1.

    If you had talent why on earth would you be Labour? Labour stands for uniform mediocrity. It thinks all schools, all pay, and all houses should be roughly equally bad.
