An Evening With... Jeremy Corbyn

Agreed. And I think a lot of the reason why JC has survived OK so far is that nobody much has gone up against him. The Centrists are playing a dangerous & fairly cowardly game of wanting Corbyn to be the guy who takes the fall at the next election. But by then he could have done who knows how much damage to their party. Clearly he is prepared to risk everything the party has without a second thought & even if it means taking them to oblivion. Bearing in mind his voting record when Blair was in power & his current behaviour its hard to think of a more disloyal party member so it's amusing to hear him talking about the importance of party unity. Of course his definition of party unity is everybody must agree with him.
I wouldn't rule out a Vince Cable-esque sting at some point in his future as he seems to have an eye for the ladeez & definitely gets off on having his ego stroked. Hard to imagine a few editors out there aren't already plotting such things.

No, no one much.

Only the relentless propaganda arm of the Tory owned mainstream media, Liz Kendall, Yvette Cooper, Andy Burnham, the entire PLP, his own cabinet, the NEC, Angela Eagle, his own Deputy, Tom Watson and Owen Smith.

All seen off.

Dear rugged you are either obviously dyslexic or as thick as a workhouse pi$$pot

It's all very well putting up headlines but:

Here we go again, in bold. And italics. And underlined.

Where has hard left socialism ever worked or is working now? UNANSWERED

where's the money going to come from? 2% ANSWERED

Which 60 seats is the new leader going to capture from the vile Tories? UNANSWERED

Cant answer can you? Rhetoric is cheap, but that's all you've got, just rhetoric, no answers.

All these questions have been addressed in the thread and the OP. Why don't you just read it?

I appreciate UKIP supporters have pretty selective attention but there is a limit to the accommodations the world will make for you.

And in the latest out break of rational Corbynism, an olive branch has been offered to the turncoats and splitters of the PLP. Even Blairite stooge and treacherous chest of drawers shaped mountebank, Tom Watson, will be offered clemency.

A clemency they do not deserve.

The membership will be watching these individuals closely.

The commisar should not only help organise the party but also educate about the party. So far you're not up to standard.

I'd like to see a new post with all the answers educating me as to why Jeremy, Momentum and Co. are the dawn of a new era.

No they haven't been answered at all, unless you would be so kind as to point me to them as I cant see them.

FYI I have never voted UKIP and do not agree with many of their views. Too narrow, too one (or two) issues based for me.

just the gentler, kinder style of politics that makes Corbynites the nasty pieces of work they are.

What is that olive branch and does it depend on them voting in line with the party leader unlike him.

Oh: the ideas that Corbyn expresses were pretty mainstream in the 1970s in the UK and are today in most of Europe. If he ever does become PM, then people afterwards will be amazed that anyone regarded him as some kind of extremist.

Why in the world do some elements of the Labour party suddenly think we want to be dragged back to the 1970s, it's 2016! I've voted Labour mostly and I would say I'm more centre left in my views. I quite liked Tony Blair as I thought his government did some good for the country. I think the way he has been demonised by some of the new Labour supporters is quite ridiculous.

I am just in despair at the situation at the moment and actually considering voting Conservative for the first time if we have a GE anytime soon.

The opening post does not give any answers at all, just a long list of what he thinks is wrong (and some of it is worthy, there is no perfect system)

But none of it tells us where the money will come from
none of it tells us which 60 seats he's going to take
and none of it gives any historical or current examples of where radical socialism has or ever will or presently works

So perhaps you will be good enough to answer the above. But I doubt you can, since the whole combined minds of the labour party can't.
