I’m hearing Jeremy Corbyn is going to lose his seat

[noblegiraffe]

If so, this is the election that just keeps on giving.

His refusal to stand down gave us Boris Johnson so it would be nothing less than he deserves.

I love Jeremy Corbyn. Someone who has principles and convictions. I really hope he keeps his seat 🙏

Not sure every party needs people like him - as you outlined, he was a complete disgrace.

I would be genuinely shocked if Jeremy Corbyn lost his seat.

Jeremy is a wonderful man and I wish he were our prime minister

But the polls mainly seem to predict Labour.

JFC. What is it with the nutty hero worship?

I used to live in his constituency. He’s a great constituency MP. Terrible leader though.

We're all entitled to our own views. The polls for years now have made it clear that people who agree with you are in a tiny minority. The British people were even willing to elect the Tories under serial liar and champion slacker Boris Johnson rather than vote for Labour under Corbyn. My view is that Corbyn would have been an absolute disaster as a Prime Minister. His judgement has been woeful over the years. Look at his ties to Sinn Fein during the Troubles.

I also think he's a hypocrite. He joined the Labour Party and got elected as a Labour MP. Most people who get elected as MPs accept that they have to toe the party line. He never did. He always voted as he pleased. Fair enough, his choice. But once he was the party leader he insisted on pushing through unpopular policies and he and his henchpeople clamped down on dissent. You can't have it both ways.

Aye, that too! It’s all been such a mess the last few years! 🙄😕

I wish I was in his constituency.

I'd vote Labour for the first and only time. I'd actually feel like my vote was worth something.

As it is I have a choice between fucking useless, a fantasist, a racist and bat shit crazy

He was my MP when I left England. Before him I had Dianne Abbott funny enough. I think it will be like Tony Benn - when he's gone all the people who hated him saying ' he was a man of principle blah blah' . Utter wankers.

Yes! Chumptastic move to make someone like that a leader. Like admitting to everyone you have no interest in being a government and that votes are just something you get inbetween protest marches. Bloody stupid

Tony Benn actually did things and was a minister. Corbyn was bloody useless.

You're wrong.

Another one here who sincerely hopes he doesn't lose his seat. I grew up wealthy, went to private school etc etc. JC is the reason I actually joined the Labour Party, 'betraying' my own background and staunch Tory voting parents. He's the only politician I've ever felt had a shred of integrity.

Why does this dreadful anti semite have so many Jewish friends and supporters? It's just like transphobia : the accusation is the verdict.

Given the best efforts of "Labour supporters" campaigning on his behalf (leaving some greenery here for them to hide behind 🌲🌲🌲) that is hilarious 😂

Bloody hell we would be under Hamas rule now if Corbyn had got in 😉

I include him in the many people responsible for Brexit. Even Diane Abbot says he's a Brexiteer at heart. Basically he has stuck to the position of the 1983 Labour Party manifesto to withdraw from Europe and hasn't changed his mind in 40 years, in the face of all the huge benefits that EU membership has brought us over those decades.

This is the first general election we've had since Brexit where we haven't had two Brexit supporting leaders of the two main parties to choose between - Corbyn on the left and a Brexiteer Tory on the right. I think that is contributing at least something to the expected Labour landslide and I wish Labour would stop pretending that the will of the people is still the same as in 2016 when it patently isn't.

I worked on the remain campaign and can't bloody bear him. Stupid stubborn old man surrounded by his mad and blinkered hangers-on.

I'll be breaking out the margeritas if he goes. His time is passed.

Seriously?

The anti semitic posts are a disgrace. He's not, and never was. And you know it.

@kittybiscuits

I agree with you. I don't think he was / is antisemitic, however, there were racist stuff happening within his party and he failed to act, just like he failed to criticise Russia after the Salisbury attacks. He was a really poor leader

He was my MP for 10 years when we lived in his constituency and he was the best MP I've ever had. Engaged, accessible, passionate, honest. He answered every email and fought for every just cause that his constituents raised.

I joined the Labour party to vote for him as leader and I still believe that if the PLP had backed him, he'd have won in 2017. But no one would serve on his shadow cabinet and his own party briefed against him more than the Tories did. He never had a chance to show what good he could have done.

I believe that he's been Labour for so long (and still would be if the LP would let him) that lots of his constituents aren't aware that a Labour vote isn't for him. It'll be interesting to see when it comes to reading his name on the ballot paper will skew the results tomorrow.

Compared to any of the ignorant, amoral Tory cretins in Parliament, he is a giant.

If he loses it will be a true loss to our democracy.

That is also untrue and not what was found by the Forde Report, which says that 'antisemitism was used as a factional weapon in the Labour Party'.

He is a committed, lifelong anti-racist and campaigner for peace. Over 200 complaints of antisemitism were made by one person - Margaret Hodge. She had previously thanked Corbyn for saving a synagogue in her own constituency.
