Jeremy Corbyn

He is fantastic for the Conservative party. Long may he lead the Labour Party

I wonder why Katie1970 signed up especially to rehash this old thread. Almost like she has a hidden agenda...

"I think you are only going to mainly attract comments from bored Tory and UKIP voters with a question like that"

I don't necessarily think that is true.. Lots of people on this thread said they have voted Labour in the past.

I think you are only going to mainly attract comments from bored Tory and UKIP voters with a question like that.

I'm someone who has voted for different parties based on their policies. My opinion is that he should have been a better leader and needs to step up. I also think too many people read the Daily Mail and Express before forming their own opinion! As most people in this thread have pointed out, the Tories are an utter shambles and he should have wiped the floor with them by now. BUT, as someone who is desperate for improved social mobility in this country and a party that actually gets on with sorting out domestic policy and moving this country forward - instead of the shambles that is Brexit which should have never even happened without a clear plan of what would happen if Leave won - I would vote Labour, albeit very reluctantly as there is no other alternative (Would really like to know the Lib Dems stance on a lot of things, but where are they?).

Politics is in a weird place right now. No real leader and everything stagnating, which worries me as the next charismatic sociopath that come along is likely to get elected as our next PM! (Waiting now for responses saying this is JC, ha bloody ha)

I think the most appropriate tribute would be to forget about him after he is no longer Labour leader - which I hope is soon.
Don't think wishing death on an MP or celebration of the death of an MP is a good thing.

When he dies I’ll be popping the champagne. He’ll be somewhere where he can do no damage.

He's just another idiot who likes to try and claim to be for the working man when he hasn't done a hard day's work in his life.

He's a terrorist sympathiser and has obviously communist views. He didn't even deny being a Marxist! He's not the sharpest tool in the shed and doesn't have a clue about economics. Although he has claimed to have read this and that, I very much doubt he has read anything besides a Beano comic.

He's very insincere, sly and deceitful. There is just something not right about him.

He's done a lot of damage to the Labour Party and has moved the party to the far-left of politics which has consequently turned away many traditional Labour voters. I've heard many times people say that they will not vote Labour whilst he is leader.

The far left is this country’s greatest comedy institution. Better than panto, Monty Python, Mr Bean and all the rest.

In a way I missed the hilarious Tony Benn and Ken Livingstone years after Blair took control. So it’s good to see some slapstick and pratfalling back now that Corbyn’s in charge.

If the comedy gods smile on us he might even get in as PM.

I hope JC remains leader of labour as all the time he is labour will not be in power.

He's an utter joke.

He and the Labour Party should be surging ahead in polls considering the mess the Tories are in.

Labour should be more popular but he has made them unelectable.
He is very pro Brexit so he has done remainers in the Labour Party a disservice.
He is a classic Marxist. He basically isn’t very bright nor pleasant but cos he looks like a nice old man he seems to be getting away with it.
I’d love to vote labour but no way with him in charge. As for mc Donald.....

All talk and no do.

He’s a man of sound bites and inaction, he has also made it clear that he’s a misogynist.

Momentum are a different party from Labour but hiding under its previous credibility which allowed voters a real option at elections. If they were honest they would separate from the Labour Party and reveal their true identity. They are manned by the mostly young and inexperienced who wouldn’t have got a sniff at their present positions if the real members of Labour hadn’t tried to shift Corbyn by mass resignations. Corbyn is being worked by his puppet masters and their aim is for only one thing and that is power. The credible members of the original Labour Party should stand up and establish themselves as true Labour. They will be supported.

I think the Uk deserve a strong, eloquent opposition. Our governments have always been better when there is a robust opposition. I definitely respect the Milliband brothers and I liked what Tom Watson said following the Brexit vote. I have no strong feelings on Corbyn but I think that's bad as he isn't a strong enough presence.

And as pp say, don't even get me started on what he think about women and what mast he has nailed his colours too there.

That one, absolutely fundamental, issue is enough.

Both JC and my local Labour councillor share the same tactic, which is simply to slag off the Conservatives; while at no time offering an opinion, let alone an actual proper PLAN, for what they would do differently/better.

It's all just vague airy fairy "they're bad and we're good, we'll sort out the nasty boo-boo and make it better than those horrid meanies"

I ended up blocking my local labour guy because even specifically asking him to respond with what his party would do differently just got another tirade of "yeah but yah boo nasty mean tories!" (on a FB local page where councillors of all colours contribute to threads)

OOOOOHHHHHH Jeremy Corbyn

When I heard that Yvette Cooper, Hilary Benn, Ben Bradshaw etc had defied him, I suddenly remembered that there are actually competent politicians in the Labour Party, they have just been vilified and ignored by their own front bench.

Journalist alert. He's a useless twat but you don't need a separate thread to see opinion. Maybe ask your editor for more time to research your story.

O the Why would you think everyone who doesn't support Corbyn has led a sheltered life and can't cope with the truth. What an odd view and rather an offensive one.

I think uou lost any little credibility you had there.

Have always backed labour and I just wish he would get his act together. He's totally unelectable.

Up against the most incompetent government in living memory the Labour party should be miles ahead in the polls.

The reason that they are still polling behind the Tories is down to one man, and one man alone - Jeremy Corbyn.

Jeremy Corbyn is unelectable in a time where really the Labour Party should be a shoo in

^This

The shit shower that is the government at moment has been a sitting duck for Labour to have wiped out and walk straight in.

UK politics is in such a state.
