To think Corbyn despises Britain?

That's putting it mildly. He is thoroughly dishonest.

I agree with you about the "despises Britain" thing, but disagree with you about "decent". What do you think about his dishonesty re Brexit, and his equivocation re comdeming antisemitism?

He used to remind me of people who stood outside our student union building at lunchtime (late 60s) dishing out Marxist Society leaflets.

I don’t think he ever actually wanted to be PM. Much easier sitting on the opposite benches criticising whatever the Other Lot were doing, rather than putting his money where his mouth is (was).

🙌🙌🙌

This thread is the essence of “rent free”.

Me too! 💪

Of those 600k, I personally know five anti-Corbynites who registered under false "funny" identities, I doubt they are the only ones! So not really trustworthy data...

No, absolutely no evidence that he 'despises' Britain he comes across as a generally decent idealistic person who wants a fairer society. The Tories have shown far more contempt for Britain.

‘What these loyalists really think is that the left should only ever be divided on their terms. That entitled and coercive logic has now had consequences.

A new leftwing party, risky and imperfect, could be here to stay. This time, it’s possible that our politics will never be quite the same again.’

Whether it’s Corbyn or a ‘comrade’ (🤮).

Yes Guardian journo. A sensible voice for a change. A clock’s right twice a day.

of course he doesn't hate britain, but I think Farage and Reform do.

He’ll pick up some votes, including younger voters who will vote next time. I don’t agree with everything but if he speaks up on the small things such as allotments then good.

His anti-semitism is writ large.
His misogyny is now almost as obvious.

Once you’ve got those clear in your head, it’s easier to stop listening to anything else he has to say. He’s an absolute arse.

I think it turns a lot of people off!

Does a foreign sounding name rule out being British?

I didn't know that.

Perhaps you apply this to the previous and current Con leaders......

I'm not sure that I fall for the rhetoric that he hates Britain. But there's only one person I blame almost equally to Cameron for the Brexit shit show that unfolded - and that's Corbyn. I can see how he comes across as an obsessive as far as foreign affairs is concerned.

I've always been a Labour voter, never liked Corbyn though and have no intention of joining his party. I'm increasingly unsettled, though, by the direction the Labour government is taking. I understand that it was never going to be lollipops and rainbows in the first term, after the UK was ruined for 14 years. But I'm perplexed by policies such as selling off allotments. I mean, why? How much is it going to gain, and at what cost? It seems like a small issue, but a friend's mum lost her daughter a few years ago and having an allotment to focus on was the one thing that improved her mental health and likely prevented her suicide.

It all feels a bit like rearranging the deck chairs. The reality is that in 4 years, the UK faces the most problematic/ dangerous general election ever. A familiar story in some respects - the electorate dividing themselves to fall behind the least worst option. But at this time, I can't see how we will avoid a Reform government. At which point, I hope Corbyn will be satisfied with the catastrophic outcome because in a few years, he can look back and again blame the UK for everything that unfolds thereafter.

I tried to like her but in all honesty, her policy of snipping from the side lines and having no policies is a mistake.

One reason why, despite a Labour Govt open goal, the Cons are so far behind the Govt in the polls and given a Starmer PM or a Kemi PM, she is by far, the least favoured.

Its not a derail at all, she is a party leader, as is Corbyn.

Perhaps she should join Reform? like many of her colleagues, very little to chose between the 2 parties now.

Ah, convenient ❤️

Ah yes. Mohammad Sidique Khan, Sherzad Tanweer, Hasib Hussain and Jamaican born muslim convert Germaine Lindsay. As British as Big Ben or Axel Rudakubana.

Must remember to thank their parents for culturally enriching us.

I have no idea what most of that post means. Splinter parties rarely last. I don’t see this one as being any different.

You can try and change the direction of comments, but you know the truth.. can you handle the truth?

Chukka had too many skeletons in his closet, allegedly.

I think if the choice is Kemi, Corbyn, or Kier I’d go Corbyn but I doubt he’ll run.

No we need to take it back further than that.

To another Labour party moron. The imbecile blood brother Ed Milliband.

Stabbed his competent and electable brother David M in the back in an attempt to be Labour party leader.

With the support of the trade unions (I was going to say equally moronic, but that they are not ££££), he then was elected as Labour party leader …this meant that Labour then lost the election (they would have won with Dave Milliband, the competent electable brother) to Cameron.

And we know what happened next.
