Why do people not like Jeremy Corbyn?

I believe that poster's 'bubble' is immigration.

Just about everyone I know holds an opinion on this. Maybe your bubble is apolitical. My bubble isn't.

I voted against Corbyn being leader 2x in the party leadership elections.

He was a terrible leader of LP. He communicated badly with colleagues/MPs and ended up undermining them. It was hard for his colleagues to say what LP stood for... Corbyn spent ages being a serial rebel and thought it was fine for people with other views to be senior leaders but as a result, there was no unified message, the MPs often floundered about what 'Line' to take or indeed whether Corbyn would turn up at events he was booked at.

His party's financial plans in 2019 were naive at best, reckless and poorly thought out basically.

He had supporters who were deranged bullies & Corbyn didn't try to reign them in. He has consorted with nasty characters internationally & wouldn't recognise that, he shrugged at overt anti-semitism among some of his supporters. He was slow to recognise that women political leaders are especially targetted by unhinged haters.

For a guy supposedly supporting Woke, his shadow Cabinet was rather White Male.

I think you're in a bubble. And your algorithm is showing you what you want to see. Sorry. People have their own lives to worry more about.

So that is why social media is awash, there are protests in the streets, bands / singers supporting Gaza are experiencing otherwise unwarranted popularity.

Keep telling yourself that.

This 👆 don't believe everything you hear OP, most of it will be gossip, hearsay, and slander. Fact check for yourself.

Because he didn’t step down when his senior cabinet resigned in 2017. Arrogant, putting himself first.

Also the anti semitism within Labour during his tenure.

The majority of the population don't care about Gaza.

The majority of the population care about their own lives and the UK.

Apparently he's very popular with his constituents because he's a hard working, dedicated MP. His majority at the last election was over 7,000.

He's an activist, regularly joining marches from the 60s against social injustice and for civil rights. He votes with this in mind, and has stood firm against contentious issues such as the invasion of Iraq, of which he was a vocal opponent.

He's an old fashioned socialist; he wants renationalisation, redistribution of wealth, to tackle injustice and unfairness in society. When he was leader, Labour was the biggest left wing party in Europe. I believe 500,000 have now registered an interest in his new party, which isn't bad for its first week.

I'm just adding an alternative view to the usual right wing shtick.

Watch the labour files. He was done a number on.

Thank you for saving me the effort of writing this.

I have friends who’ve heard him speak at rallies and thought he was wonderful. He had firm support from many within the Labour Party.
I wanted to support his party, but I just couldn’t do it with him in charge.

There was an undercurrent of arrogance. Hard left supporters made social media posts saying things like ‘ are you willing to have a Tory government just because you don’t like Jeremy Corbyn? They clearly knew he wasn’t popular with the general population, and was unlikely to lead his party to victory. For the sake of his party ( and the country) he should have stepped down.

There was nothing about the way he conducted himself that made me trust him.

I’m not a great fan of the current leader, but I don’t have strong feelings of aversion.

Possibly because the majority of the British population support Gaza. And he represents us.

No it was an advisory referendum there was no need to leave we just needed to push for the changes that were annoying people the most even if they had failed people would have been placated and it would have died down

Cameron was wrong

He cosies up to terrorists. The IRA loved him. Silly naive little man, used by thugs.

There was a smear campaign in the media at the time which made a lot of people dislike him for vague reasons. Others didn’t agree with his policies/politics.

I think he is one of the very few politicians with integrity and isn’t going to say something just to win votes and tow the party line.

He didn’t chase power/leadership but was nominated and won. For me, that’s a massive plus point - never trust someone who is trying to appoint themselves as leader.

Corbyn was not a fan of the EU, it was his personal view. He knew being openly pro Brexit would be a bad thing, and kept his mouth shut.
The majority of the people voting for Brexit were not fans of Corbyn.

I used to live in his constituency. He’s a very good constituency MP and really cares about people.

However, he was an appalling leader for labour. He takes a simplistic “my enemy’s enemy is my friend’ approach to geopolitics, which means he has got into bed with some terrible people, from Russian to Iran to the IRA. His economic ideas are poorly thought through and would cause huge damage to the country. And he’s not that bright.

I’m glad he’s in politics because it’s healthy to have a broad range of views in parliament, but I am very glad he’s not running the country.

Just like his (ex) acolyte Starmer who is currently focusing on Gaza for some reason.

Because he doesn't follow the usual pattern for politicians by being a corrupt liar.

He does what it says on the tin. Fair enough, plenty of people don't like the quality of his paint. But what you get is what you see. No front and no spin for him.

Like Farage. I guess it balances out the extremists.

This is how I think of him, too. Surely, if you're British, you need politicians that focus on the needs of Britain. His interests seem to be largely elsewhere.

He’s clueless and dangerous. It would be a disaster if he ever got in. Not that he would thankfully

I've been Labour all my life, politically homeless now. I read a couple of biographies about him, the most recent by Tom Bower
His views are terrifying. He has failed at everything he has done, terrible council leader with nothing being done for residents and totally inefficient
He is very black and white. If you are 'good' you can be as violent as you like. Its an uprising and understandable
He doesn't read or understand economics
He doesn't believe in borders
He is misogynistic and antisemitic

Totally agree with this. I’m from Labour heartlands and he was really unpopular. I think he appeals to middle class labour voters but really didn’t to traditional working class labour voters. I think Corbyn had something to do with the loss of traditional labour seats in the North —-it seemed the Labour Party no longer represented the working class. I kind of miss the old fashioned labour firebrand that has come up through thr unions

Yes good idea. I think often we assume a party stands for one thing and actually they do something completely different!
