What the actual fuck is wrong with Corbyn?

[HarrisIsGoingOut]

He is less useful than a chocolate teapot anyway, but for a man who blusters on so much about "listening to the members" and "making policy based on the members" he's certainly got an odd way of showing it.

I just find it extraordinary that such a shambolic, self-interested and, frankly corrupt, government has been enabled to get away with it because the opposition is so extraordinarily ineffectual.

jas and this is Corbyn late June 2016.

Corbyn along with almost everyone else didn't really understand the art50 process, why would they? it was never really meant to be evoked, least of all by a major EU player.

I posted that speech because JC did support Remain, however, the diversion here is somehow to blame JC for this god forsaken mess, where as the blame lies squarely at DC and Mays doorstep and we shouldn't forget this.

Corbyns error is following and not driving the agenda, same with May really, she could easily be prime ministerial and lead the country - she knows full well that brexit is going to damage the country, deal or no deal.
It is quite scandalous really.

NO
He said he supported remain
but his whole political life has been anti EU
he regards it as a capitalist plot
the true picture was the morning after the vote when he could see his socialist utopia wishes coming true

Yes. I want to see leadership.

I'm sick of this.

Jas It’s not trying to blame Corbyn instead of May and Cameron for this mess, but as well as May and Cameron.

He demanded Article 50 be invoked as soon as possible. He had a three line whip on his MPs to vote for it. Invoking Article 50 without any sort of plan of action was a huge mistake that should never have happened.

He is entirely complicit in this omnishambles.

@jajas

We are all being so badly let down.

He is entirely complicit in this omnishambles.
I agree with noble
The Labour party are the opposition
Their JOB is to hold the Government to account
and in that Jeremy Corbyn is an utter failure

Does he still do that “Maureen and Kevin from Norwich have written to me about...” stuff at PMQs?

I haven’t watched it for ages because both him and May grate so much.

I have just googled Diane Abbots son, she been Corbyns ex girlfriend who sits with him on the front bench.

It's a shame your googling skills don't extend beyond that @Vicky1990. Diane is a Cambridge graduate and was the first black woman to become an MP. She's served on numerous parliamentary committees and her 2008 speech on civil liberties won a Parliamentary Speech of the Year award and a Human Rights awards.

She is much more than just Jeremy Corbyn's ex.

Thanks Vicky

She is much more than just Jeremy Corbyn's ex. Yes, we know, Cambridge, first black woman MP, awards, yada yada.

People are still allowed to say she's Jeremy Corbyn's ex though.

Diane Abbott has lots of positive qualities and is a groundbreaker in lots of ways. But she's still hopeless as a front bench politician. I abhor the racist stuff that she endures. But that doesn't mean she's any good as a front bench politician.

I posted that speech because JC did support Remain

No he didn't. Just like Dennis Skinner and George Galloway, he is a leaver and always has been.

'She is much more than just Jeremy Corbyn's ex.'

Very good point, and I am no fan of hers

No he didn't. Just like Dennis Skinner and George Galloway, he is a leaver and always has been.

Glad to see that nothing, not even facts change your opinion Sally

I get he's a cranky contrarian, with anti-western viewpoints, untouched by the sunlight of of post-70s politics, and that makes many old Stalinists feel as frisky and at the heart of things as having necked a whole load of Viagra, but I would expect him to be listening to some voices of reason - rather than ploughing in in a manner that is going to wreck the Party -and possibly the UK.

I am still appalled that after the Referendum when Cameron resigned that Labour was in complete disarray and that Corbyn has spectacularly failed to oppose properly time and time again . It should be inconceivable that Labour aren’t hugely ahead in the polls given what is happening in Tory party.

Of course they are @DarlingNikita but it's a little strange that given all she's achieved, who she once slept with is apparently the first thing people mention about her. I wonder why?

Glad to see that nothing, not even facts change your opinionSally

What facts are they then? The facts he has always been Eurosceptic. The facts that his closest political allies all voted leave? The fact that on the day of the result he was callling for article 50 to be triggered straight away? I mean if you were in the voting booth with him and so watched him vote, then please tell us.

FirstOfHerName, it was the first thing ONE poster mentioned about her. And it's not just any old person she once slept with; Corbyn is the subject/point of this whole thread – it's entirely germane to talk about her personal relationship with him.

{Their JOB is to hold the Government to account}
This.
IF Brexit were a truly brilliant idea and Corbyn managed to show why leaving would be a good idea then it would be fair of him to agree with the Tories and not just oppose for the sake of it, but for him to come up with no real supporting evidence to leave is so wrong.
