It’s unprintable🥶

UnderHerEye · 18/01/2019 10:35

The Labour Party currently is so far removed from the people it is supposed to represent it would be a laughable satire if it wasn’t people’s everyday lives which were being fucked up because they have no one to represent them in parliament.

Jeremy Corbyn is a career politician, he has no clue what life is really like for the working classes. The Labour Party will be unelectable whilst he is leader.

DaedricLordSlayer · 18/01/2019 10:50

I liked JC, thought him and his views were refreshing, and just what the country needed.

ha! more fool me. scratch the surface and what do you know? a self serving career politician. it's his way or the high way.

He's stuck in 6 form politics mentally, which also makes him a very useful puppet.

Quartz2208 · 18/01/2019 10:55

agree with @perch somewhere there is a very different reality where David Milliband became Prime Minister and not David Cameron. Wrong brother, wrong David

Jeremy Corbyn is unelectable in a time where really the Labour Party should be a shoo in

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 18/01/2019 10:59

I couldn’t you what I think of JC, apart from his Marxist leanings, because I don’t know what his views on Brexit are.

^This

The shit shower that is the government at moment has been a sitting duck for Labour to have wiped out and walk straight in.

UK politics is in such a state.

CardinalSin · 18/01/2019 11:12

Up against the most incompetent government in living memory the Labour party should be miles ahead in the polls.

The reason that they are still polling behind the Tories is down to one man, and one man alone - Jeremy Corbyn.

sherrysfortea · 18/01/2019 11:23

Have always backed labour and I just wish he would get his act together. He's totally unelectable.

Bluntness100 · 18/01/2019 11:26

O the Why would you think everyone who doesn't support Corbyn has led a sheltered life and can't cope with the truth. What an odd view and rather an offensive one.

I think uou lost any little credibility you had there.

bellinisurge · 18/01/2019 11:32

Journalist alert. He's a useless twat but you don't need a separate thread to see opinion. Maybe ask your editor for more time to research your story.

noodlenosefraggle · 18/01/2019 11:33

When I heard that Yvette Cooper, Hilary Benn, Ben Bradshaw etc had defied him, I suddenly remembered that there are actually competent politicians in the Labour Party, they have just been vilified and ignored by their own front bench.

JustAnotherPoster00 · 18/01/2019 11:39

OOOOOHHHHHH Jeremy Corbyn

CallMeSirShotsFired · 18/01/2019 11:39

Both JC and my local Labour councillor share the same tactic, which is simply to slag off the Conservatives; while at no time offering an opinion, let alone an actual proper PLAN, for what they would do differently/better.

It's all just vague airy fairy "they're bad and we're good, we'll sort out the nasty boo-boo and make it better than those horrid meanies"

I ended up blocking my local labour guy because even specifically asking him to respond with what his party would do differently just got another tirade of "yeah but yah boo nasty mean tories!" (on a FB local page where councillors of all colours contribute to threads)

And as pp say, don't even get me started on what he think about women and what mast he has nailed his colours too there.

That one, absolutely fundamental, issue is enough.

littlebillie · 18/01/2019 16:07

I think the Uk deserve a strong, eloquent opposition. Our governments have always been better when there is a robust opposition. I definitely respect the Milliband brothers and I liked what Tom Watson said following the Brexit vote. I have no strong feelings on Corbyn but I think that's bad as he isn't a strong enough presence.

HappydaysArehere · 19/01/2019 10:19

Momentum are a different party from Labour but hiding under its previous credibility which allowed voters a real option at elections. If they were honest they would separate from the Labour Party and reveal their true identity. They are manned by the mostly young and inexperienced who wouldn’t have got a sniff at their present positions if the real members of Labour hadn’t tried to shift Corbyn by mass resignations. Corbyn is being worked by his puppet masters and their aim is for only one thing and that is power. The credible members of the original Labour Party should stand up and establish themselves as true Labour. They will be supported.

TheMatriarch · 19/01/2019 10:25

He’s a man of sound bites and inaction, he has also made it clear that he’s a misogynist.

ScreamingValenta · 19/01/2019 10:28

All talk and no do.

Biologifemini · 19/01/2019 10:29

Labour should be more popular but he has made them unelectable.
He is very pro Brexit so he has done remainers in the Labour Party a disservice.
He is a classic Marxist. He basically isn’t very bright nor pleasant but cos he looks like a nice old man he seems to be getting away with it.
I’d love to vote labour but no way with him in charge. As for mc Donald.....

Theansweris · 19/01/2019 10:30

He's an utter joke.

He and the Labour Party should be surging ahead in polls considering the mess the Tories are in.

pilates · 19/01/2019 10:44

I hope JC remains leader of labour as all the time he is labour will not be in power.

KissingInTheRain · 19/01/2019 11:03

The far left is this country’s greatest comedy institution. Better than panto, Monty Python, Mr Bean and all the rest.

In a way I missed the hilarious Tony Benn and Ken Livingstone years after Blair took control. So it’s good to see some slapstick and pratfalling back now that Corbyn’s in charge.

If the comedy gods smile on us he might even get in as PM.

Katie1970 · 28/04/2019 01:37

He's just another idiot who likes to try and claim to be for the working man when he hasn't done a hard day's work in his life.

He's a terrorist sympathiser and has obviously communist views. He didn't even deny being a Marxist! He's not the sharpest tool in the shed and doesn't have a clue about economics. Although he has claimed to have read this and that, I very much doubt he has read anything besides a Beano comic.

He's very insincere, sly and deceitful. There is just something not right about him.

He's done a lot of damage to the Labour Party and has moved the party to the far-left of politics which has consequently turned away many traditional Labour voters. I've heard many times people say that they will not vote Labour whilst he is leader.
