The facts are that he is getting better and better while May is showing to have feet of clay.
Corbyn is pouring water on the fizzbang bright sparks of the PLP and ensuring they stay water sodden and immobile. He has done this to half the Labour Party and he will do it to more.
And the MSM say that he isn't capable of anything!0 -

pity that toxic toastie never has anything to say about policies that might actually help the poorer section of society.
however, it interesting to know that comical ali still survives and can still give us a laugh in these difficult times0 -
So he's going to take Harlow, is he?0

utter nonsense. Corbyn is a dreadful speaker, it's just a drone.
Teresa May is shaping up very well, and I think a snap election may well be in the offing, to cement her position, and give labour cement shoes.
Yes, Corbyn will take over the labour party, and they will in all likelihood split...something needs to happen as the Corbyn led labour party cannot provide an effective oppostion: another centre or centre left party needs to emerge, and it will.
All Corbyn is capable of is whipping the hard left into a frenzy...but no hard left government has ever come about and nor will it, elections are won and lost from the centre. And the centre will never be hard left.
I'm still happy to pay out to charity at 4/1 any stake anyone wants to put up. In fact let's say 9/2. Anyone interested?
And can anyone here name a country where hard left policies have actually worked and are in operation right now? No. Socialism has failed everywhere its been tried.
As opposed to capitalism, which is not perfect but has only actually failed twice...the 1929 wall street cash and the bank crisis of 2008. And it's recovered very well since. It works. If it ain't broke don't fix it.
Corbyn will never be PM. Good job too.0 -

Precisely.
He'll be lucky to hold existing labour/ con marginals let alone win anything.
They might grab back 10 or 12 seats in Scotland if the SNP bubble should burst, but in England, forget it.0 -

The dam is about to burst and the tyranny of Britain's right wing pensioners is going to end.
In fact, you will be sent fleeing.0 -

As usual, a total disinterest in discusing policies to help the ordinary people of the uK.
Just the usual trotysite infantile fantasies and the usual hatred for his parents and grandparents.0 -

Never in my life time, let alone Neil Kinnock's
anyway...9/2...want to put £100 up? If you win I pay £450 to charity. I I win you pay £100. I'll put my money where my mouth is...but I doubt if you will. But I'd be delighted if you did.0 -

There are no coherent costed policies. It's all very well promising the earth in opposition, but where will the money come from?
Yes, Disneyland has nothing on the fantasies of the left.
Where has it or does socialism work? nowhere's ville, that's where.
It's all very well being anti 'austerity'....but borrowed money has to be repaid. Austerity is living within your means, a lesson that everyone needs to learn at some point in their lives.0 -
