To ask - Jeremy Corbyn - PM

[MommaGee]

There's stuff about how he thinks he'll be PM in 6 months. How the GLASTO coverage is a BBC plot to "see a MARXIST in power" etc etc but how?
TM is hardly going to call another election and Labor are likely to keep her long enough to get through the crap that is Brexit.

Apologies for all those thinking in thick but I don't see how JC has any even inkling of getting it, let alone a discussion on how much swing he'd need

Plus maybe it's because May and the Tories have proved themselves so disastrous for the last 7 years that we are desperate for a credible alternative. As in garnering cross demographic support. Actually winning the election. And then making a success of governing.

the dealing with the issues that have come about since the tragic Grennfell Tower

Maybe if they'd dealt with the fucking "issues" (nice way of putting a situation that has murdered people) before the fire hundreds of people wouldn't have died! (And yes I'm aware the "official" number is 79 but we all know that's complete bullshit!)

I feel the ones in power - making decisions that will affect us all - are the ones to focus on.

Still, remember all the criticism of Corbyns magic money tree?! brilliant that the cons found it today...

@tobee talking of Blair and corbyn in the same messianic terms may be that they are seen as leaders. I was depressed about corbyn because I'd grown up with the benn/foot naive idealism handing the right wing press the levers to keep labour out of power. Having seen Kinnock and milliband destroyed by Murdoch et al I had no hope that anything other than a centrist labour party could be elected.

Corbyn has changed that - the levers are being democratised Murdoch is going to live long enough to see him become irrelevant - obviously the conservatives will give him sky but that's irrelevant

The only remaining attack is to call the manifesto extreme - it's clearly not so that, along with the spin on 'uncosted' just won't wash.

The Labour leadership seem to be thinking in terms of "we got x number of seats in June , so those are ours. We'll just need to build on that". Hmm ... I wonder which party thought that just a few short weeks ago? Don't think it worked so well for them.

It's not the manifesto I object to.

From a purely practical perspective, if JC does indeed become PM and a few years down the road, there is no money left, what will he do to sort it out or leave it to the Tax payer to sort out?

IMF anyone for those old enough to remember 😀

I just...all this criticism of Jc, you really don't think the tories are complete incompetent tossers?

@engtech I remember imf well and the revision of treasury figures that showed it was unnecessary. Perhaps you also remember monetarism and the EMS?

Histiny this is a thread about Jeremy Corbyn though. I can do Tory bashing. Just I'll do it on another thread.

got it!

Frankie401

I do indeed.

Every day is a school day 😀👍

May I have a link to that data please so I can read up on it.

I don't see why I have to like Corbyn just because I don't like the tories. Little bad change is preferable to more bad change.

I should think Greece would be where to start if you want to look at recent IMF bailouts - reasons why that couldn't happen here?

But we have to agree with the Barnett formula.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barnett_formula

It's important to having a secure and trustworthy government.

I don't trust this government and I certainly do not trust May.

I never thought I'd say this, but Corbyn is our only hope.

These seats are ten very expensive seats.

I can't believe May did a deal with terrorists!

From a purely practical perspective, if JC does indeed become PM and a few years down the road, there is no money left, what will he do to sort it out or leave it to the Tax payer to sort out?

The good thing is, that if JC gets in, the country will begin to thrive again, there will be investment in infrastructure, more jobs, more houses with lower rent, more money flowing into people's wallets and higher wages, so the tax revenues will be higher, so they can be investment in infrastructure and then everyone will decide the unions are too strong, the Tories will get back in and it will all go downhill again.

Vote Corbyn, vote Utopia!

I'm not a Corbyn fan particularily, nor a regular labour voter, but my rage at this terrible govt of idiots eclipses all else.

I mean tm is astoundingly bad.

Sorry, sorry!

sorry, that last post of mine should really be deleted.

How do you know that Lost? What are you actually basing that on?

Sorry lost didn't read properly. Should have known because you wrote more than a tweet length post.

May promised strong and stable government. What do we have?

A nothing. Not even the Queen could be bothered.

Disgrace! And the Conservatives should actually hang their heads in shame at this. FS!

Why do you keep going on about no money left under labour?

You know leaving the eu is going to cost us billions- you know the deal with the dup to prop up the Tory govt is going to cost us a massive amount, yet still there persists this idea that t may is safe hands.

I genuinely don't get that.

Histiny Not sure what you've got to be sorry about!
