That is the first lie that we know of now all we have to do is to look out for the others. Once you start to see one you can usually start to see others.

Here are some more he told Andrew Neil during the campaign:

https://blogs.spectator.co.uk/2017/05/the-three-lies-that-jeremy-corbyn-told-andrew-neil/

Corbyn told Neil: ‘I didn’t support the IRA. I don’t support the IRA. What I want everywhere is a peace process.’ This is a lie.

Corbyn told Neil: ‘I never met the IRA.’ This is a lie.

Corbyn told Neil: ‘My role was supporting a process which would bring about a dialogue and I believe you have to talk.’ This is a lie.


Why is a lifelong leftist seemingly abandoning hitherto unshakeable views? For the same reason any politician does anything: There are votes in it.

There is no evidence Corbyn has genuinely changed his outlook. He believes what he has always believed – that the West is an oppressor, jihadists are helpless victims, and targets of terrorism were asking for it”. What he is trying to do is triangulate between the far-Left fringe, who love this stuff, and Labour voters who don’t but want an end to austerity.

The Labour Party still doesn’t get it; a few do, but most don’t. Corbyn is not some mad old geography teacher with a lapel full of lost causes. He is not well-meaning or idealistic or a bit quirky in his views. He is an extremist and an enabler of extremism.

Labour lost by nearly 60 seats.

Another Labour leader might have won

JC lost this election and he will lose the next.

There is no chance that JC will be PM. Never. Ever.

Moby "was" right. Even if he has suddenly had a change of heart for wharever reason.

Moby I hope you are still posting 5 years from now, after 12 years of Labour being out of power. Will you still be saying JC is great then?

What about in 17 years of Labour being out of power? Come on will you still be saying Corbyn was great?

You'd never know that listening to Jeremy Corbyn.




Deluded or what?

Thank you that link is very interesting. I especially like the fact that they have used the word triangulate.

Oh Jeremy Corbyn, give it a rest: how a mindless chant ruined Glasto

It’s official: Glastonbury is dead, and it has been murdered by its newly-elected Messiah; the high priest of peace, the most reverend Jeremy Corbyn. The precise moment Glasto’s credibility went toes-up was when Radiohead’s jazz-for-postgrads set was interrupted by a mindless, repetitive chant of “Oh Jeremy Corbyn!” to the tune of the White Stripes’ Seven Nation Army.
Because nothing sums up the inequality of austerity-hit Britain better than 100,000 metropolitan liberals who’d paid £243 each to stand in a field, chanting “Oh Jeremy Corbyn!” while live streaming it to YouTube on their iPhone 7s.

Ed Balls says Labour would have to hike taxes on working people to pay for lavish spending plans

The Shadow Chancellor called on Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell to 'understand why they lost'

LABOUR will have to raise taxes on every worker in order to afford their spending plans, Ed Balls warned last night.
The former Shadow Chancellor said Jeremy Corbyn’s claim that “only the rich will pay” for higher spending would prove to be false if he ever became PM
And he also urged Mr Corbyn and John McDonnell to “understand why they lost” the election and cast off their outsider persona if they want to take power.

But speaking at the Politics Festival in North London last night, Mr Balls ridiculed the idea that ordinary people can get better services without paying more.
He said: “The reality is that we all have to make a contribution if we are going to have this great thing which is the NHS.
“The argument from this Labour manifesto that only the rich will pay, I don’t think it stacks up.
“From opposition, you can say, ‘Don’t worry, someone else will pay’ – but you can’t do that in government.”
Mr Balls paid tribute to Mr Corbyn’s performance in this month’s General Election but pointed out that he still lost to Theresa May.

He said: “Relative to the Conservative party it was a success – absolutely, it was a failure.
“The right thing for Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell to do is to understand why they lost.”

Poor Ed - he seems to think that Corbyn cares that he lost.

This year, the festival’s increasingly middle-aged and middle-class audience, paying £243 for a ticket, got to witness a speech by Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn. Just as Glastonbury allows the comfortably off to play at being hippies, so Corbynistas – who in the General Election won a surge in support among the very middle classes who flock to Worthy Farm each year – like to pretend they are speaking ‘for the many’.

It was all an unintentionally hilarious reminder of the middle-class Safe Space that both Labour and Glastonbury have become. Corbyn said there was a message for Donald Trump on the walls surrounding the festival – ‘build bridges, not walls’. The wall he was referring to is a multimillion-pound ‘superfence’ first erected in 2002 to keep out those who either can’t afford or want to flout the hefty Glasto ticket price.

Naturally, he talked a lot about ‘the young people’, at a festival where the average age of attendees is 36. (To quote Glastonbury founder Michael Eavis from some years back: ‘30- and 40-year-olds… now swarm the festival like overgrown teens desperately seeking kicks.’) Corbyn also claimed that this hyper-corporate festival offers a chance to young musicians – but the average age of Glastonbury headliners these days is 41.

If Corbyn’s time on the Pyramid Stage taught us anything, it’s that the Labour Party has officially supplanted Glastonbury as the most bourgeois thing on the planet.

Well at least get his position correct.

The Former Shadow Chancellor called on Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell to 'understand why they lost'

John McDonnell is currently the shadow Chancellor.

Who himself seems to be alienating other Shadow Minsters already. How long before the Labour party implodes. What a farce.

John McDonnell has been accused of trying to politicise the Grenfell fire disaster after claiming the victims were "murdered by political decisions".

The shadow chancellor alleged that cuts to firefighters and stations "contributed to those deaths inevitably" after the west London inferno.

However, the London Fire Brigade has said there were no problems with staffing levels or resources while the service battled the blaze that left at least 79 people presumed dead.

He also sought to blame housing policies "over decades" for the disaster. But McDonnell was accused of playing "politics with the lives of those who suffered".

But Mr McDonnell's position was contradicted by John Healey, the shadow housing minister.

Asked if his colleague was right to say the victims had been "murdered by political decisions", Mr Healey said: "I wouldn't use the word murder.
