To wonder if Corbyn could become PM?

[brasty]

I am not a fan of Corbyn, but I am beginning to wonder if he could become PM?

I really hope not, I find him quite repulsive

I've gone from "of course not" to "possibly".

Of course he could become PM he's less repulsive than Thacther 2.0

I hope not.

opheliacat that is exactly how I feel. I am now wondering if he could actually do it.

A lot depends on whether May stays or not I imagine.

Yeah, and half the private sector would lose their jobs the next day. But hey, who cares about them, the unionised public sector will be borrowing more and more money to live in the land of milk and honey. For them.

Oh god, I hope not. But obviously if he's leader of the Labour party and they win the next general election, then he will be PM.

Then we can all sit back and watch him bankrupt the country.

I’m surprised the Bombardier thing didn’t blow up in a more massive way last week, and bring down the government (DUP ain’t gonna be happy about it). I wonder, in fact, if it could halt Brexit in its tracks? No-one wants 220% tariffs shoved on exports to the US.

Corbyn may yet be PM. Don’t know how I feel about it.

Actually a lot of the private sector depends on the public sector. The company I used to work for, went under as local authorities no longer had money to spend.

He failed even against Theresa may and her shambles, so hope not.

If he does - we will be run by a student politician that never learnt to listen, his racist pals and his insane policies. Be careful what you wish for.

I used to think he'd be great, but, like the current administration, his knowledge of Scotland is woeful.

I see a lot of people are hoodwinked by the bogus private versus public sector ‘war’ that the Tories engineered in order to cut public services to the bone. You’d have to be pretty hard of thinking to believe that steaming pile of horseshit, or so I thought.

His big fans seem a bit extreme in their views so I'm not sure there are enough 'extreme' types to vote him in.
But anything could happen.

I'm not mad keen on him myself but have gone from thinking not a chance in hell to may be a possibility. Current lot seem Teflon coated though so who knows.

Well he can't be much worse than may but i voted for Blair in 97 so wtf do I know 🤔

He'd be a nightmare. He won 3 more seats than Gordon Brown did in 2010, yet see's himself as ready for government. Absolutely deluded

It's 4.5 years later until the next election. He hasn't a hope in hell of covering up his incompetence that long.

God help us all if he does.

Actually a lot of the private sector depends on the public sector. The company I used to work for, went under as local authorities no longer had money to spend.

Yeah, we'll keep the entire economy running on the public sector and private companies which service the public sector.

That'll work out really well. Remind me who'll actually be paying tax to keep it going rather than just merrygorounding back a small percentage of what the gov gave them anyway?

I hope he is, I'm a fan. The public sector needs a massive injection of cash after years of being stripped to the bone. Education and health are in a real crisis.
But we're a long way from an election and I think he's teetering on the edge of smug.

Britain loves an underdog but he's becoming increasingly mainstream (even said it himself at conference) so folk will simply stop rooting for him.

Heaven forbid, but the delusionary element are always about and they are shouting the odds very loudly right now.

Well if the current chair of the labour party, Ian Lavery, is a typical example of any potential labour government we'd have if Corbyn were to become PM, then god help us.

Was I the only one cringing every time he managed to rouse himself to open his mouth and speak when he appeared on Question Time on Thursday. He seemed to have no idea what anyone was talking about, kept going off at a tangent and most of the time seemed to be miles away in his own little world.

Was Ian Lavery the aggressive, shouty, finger-pointy one on QT on Thursday? He was AWFUL.

Yes that was probably him. When he was actually paying attention.
