Who else thinks that the name of JC’s new political party should be LeftyMcLeftface?

Well, I think it’s funny.

Suggestions here ⬇️ to help out decide upon the new name.

I don’t really care what it’s called. I’m more concerned about policies and their world views. I’d vote for his party tomorrow.

Good thinking, that’s an excellent suggestion. Could also perhaps be Power of Ordinary People (POOP), or Progressive Left Organisation Party (PLOP)? Or Workers Alliance National Coalition?

Here we go with the Corbyn bashing.
I wish him and the new party every success.

Personally I will never forgive Corbyn for enabling Brexit and for then facilitating the worst possible Brexit deal by whipping Labour MPs to not back Theresa May’s deal. And by now splitting the left he is parachuting Farage into number 10.

Suggest a suitable name then.

@BoatyMcBoatfacesailsagain
Well chosingg a name for the party is a serious business. It needs to represent what the party stands for and it's policies in a concise and memorable way.
It requires a lot of thought.
I certainly don't know enough about the proposed policies and aims of the party and I certainly don't have the time to devote to devising an appropriate name so I'll leave that up to those that do.

I will say though I think you've got a great user name!

He threw away two elections that were virtually in Labour's hands and was less than clear about how his party responded to Brexit with the result that leavers thought Labour was pro-remain and remainers that it was pro-Brexit.

Frankly I am amazed at the arrogance of the man in thinking he still has something to offer the people of the UK.

Not a fan of left wing policies then?

I’ve never heard a respectful dispassionate discussion of what Farage would actually do if he got in. Apart from that he would dismantle the NHS being free.

TBH I don’t think he ever really wanted to win an election. As PM he’d have had to put his money where his mouth is, instead of sitting on the opposition benches and just criticising everything the Other Lot do.

At least Jeremy Corbyn brushes his hair.
