AIBU to think that Corbyn was strong, intelligent and likeable?

[deeedeee]

Have you changed your mind about him?

[Atenco]

Here is an interesting blogpost about Amber Rudd: www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2017/05/ambder-rudd-really-horrible/

Such as Piglet?

*The PLP has behaved with huge disrespect towards Labour party members given than JC

As he has done to previous leaders.

[Two4One2017]

My Labour candidate will not endorse Corbyn in fact went out of his way to say he wouldn't - email received today. Will there be a coup post June 9th even if he wins? Does he have support of the PLP?

[christinarossetti]

What are the dangers veragrant?

The PLP has behaved with huge disrespect towards Labour party members given than JC was democratically voted in, but I don't think that's because they 'know the real him'.

[VeraGrant]

JC has certainly performed well in the last couple of debates/ interviews.

But surely SURELY that doesn't blind anyone to the dangers of him being in office? He has precisely nothing to lose at the moment, and has no government record to defend.

I'm no lover of the Tories, and Theresa May has been shockingly awful lately. But this isn't a game. Who in their right mind can honestly say they see Diane Abbott as a credible Home Secretary? And John McDonnell in high office? The very thought makes my blood run cold.

Remember how many Labour MPs can't stand Jeremy Corbyn! Surely they know a lot more about the real him than we do.

[christinarossetti]

Critiquing JC's financial transparency is laughably desperate.

He's the lowest expense claiming MP.

"I don't think he's dishonest but why publish tax returns when you haven't checked they leave out vital stuff and make you look so?"

Is this non-story
what you're referring to, JanetBrown?

[BakewellSliceAgain]

I ended up with it on the radio after all. Robertson didn't want to go there on the referendum. Unsurprising in the circumstances. They see a potential alliance ahead with Labour as he said!

[Bluebeedee]

JC and Caroline Lucas just won the debate for me

[MyDarlingWhatIfYouFly]

Nope not convinced they can manage the economy and with both Corbyn and Abbott being vague on costings it's to big a gamble

But the Tory manifesto is not costed. Plus May and others have slipped up just as often in interviews, but for some reason it's not reported as headline news.

[christinarossetti]

I think it's a good negotiating tactic, actually.

May could learn a thing or two about winning people over.

[PigletWasPoohsFriend]

As explained upthread he, Corbyn, wanders off the policy line

I can see Robertson tying him up in knots over inyref to be honest.

[PigletWasPoohsFriend]

He clarified the 'friends' comments about Hamas in the JP interview. Twice. It was 'inclusive language' to facilitate negotiations.

He can clarify as much as he likes. Doesn't mean to say people have to believe him. There was absolutely no need to use the word 'friends'

[BakewellSliceAgain]

I will not waste my time watching, it won't provide an answer. As explained upthread he, Corbyn, wanders off the policy line (presumably agreed with colleagues) and confusion is the result.

[JoshLymanJr]

I thought he came across as warm, confident and likeable, but it should be remembered that this is Corbyn in campaign mode - that's what he lives for, particularly when he has something to kick against (party establishment, an incumbent government). Corbyn in day-to-day management mode seems to be something very different.

[makeourfuture]

Definitely the more strong and stable. Tory positions crumble under examination.

[christinarossetti]

Maybe watch the Leader's debate tonight?

Without the current prime minster who called this election of course.

[BakewellSliceAgain]

That's all cleared up nicely then.

What's his plan on the Scottish Neverendum?

[christinarossetti]

[BakewellSliceAgain]

^^Yes about the wreath.

I do not think that he's what I would class as a nice man at all.

[SoloD]

I am worried about his links with Terrorist, not just the IRA, but he laid a wreath at the grave of the mastermind of the Munich Massacre where terrorists murdered Israeli civilians.

I am all for opening talks with terrorists, but Corbyn goes beyond that, and appears to me at least to be actively supporting them (hence inviting Sinn Fein into parliament 4 days after the Brighton bomb and calling Hamas (who have murdered a lot of people) his friends.

Apart from that he does come across as disorganised, not something you really want in a PM.

[waitforitfdear]

Come on jezza stop posting.

No not changed although he comes across better than May. He's a lot better than I thought he would be to be honest but unfortunately he has a very weak team.

None sensible can see Abbott as home sec. defies belief.
