Corbyn at the Pink News awards last night. Ridiculous. As if life isn't complicated enough without pushing the idea that EVERYONE should introduce their pronouns and remember each others, whatever they may be!

So pretentious, I know many gay people who will be cringing at this nonsense. Does Pink News exist to support or embarrass LGBT people?

This will definitely connect Corbyn back to the working classes. Hmm I'm a lifelong Labour voter, but sod it, I will vote Boris this time. Yes yes, I know of his many flaws, but if Lib Dems or Labour get in this stuff is just going to get completely bonkers (plus other reasons)

This pathetic nonsense is the reason my daughter is called male, or asked how she identifies. Fuck You and everyone else who is elevating sexist stereotypes above reality! If children hate their bodies it's because we are teaching them to hate them. I am so disappointed with every useful idiot who goes along with this nonsense.

FGS, he's called Jeremy and has a beard - was anyone ever in doubt? Now had he announced they were she/her that would've been news!

Well yes I am aware strangely enough that corbyn is a man. It isn't his pronouns that make me know that, it's examples such as the Jewish woman on radio 4 a few minutes ago who described how the Labour party is targeting Jewish MPs and in particular female Jewish MPs. Oddly those hounding those female mps didn't bother themselves with worrying how those women identified, they just magically knew which ones to target. Under corbyns leadership. So yes I know he is a man.

I recently went to the science museum in Boston and every speaker and demonstrator did this. It pissed me off, not least because any Qs from the audience after each thing would have been direct, so no need for pronouns!

RaininSummer · 17/10/2019 07:54

Corbyn is a dick.

meditrina · 17/10/2019 07:58

He doesn't usually do this, so I assume it is simply to make a point on this occasion.

Which it seems to have done (would be no thread f it hadn')

He's an effective speaker when you are in the room. Though the latest opinion polls show this is not translating into wider support.

Jezza is just a buoy bouncing around on the tides of his advisers, except when he falls back into intransigent student ideology from the 1970s.

His lack of a decent education really shows.

VinandVigour · 17/10/2019 08:00

That’s it, I’m done with my party.

potter5 · 17/10/2019 08:00

What a dick!

TottieandMarchpane · 17/10/2019 08:02

I say that at least once a week these days @VinandVigour

But where do we go?

Love this comment: “It’s the adjectives I’m worried about”

This pisses me off so much. women in the LP and potential voters are not going to see this as a massive 'fuck off'. I am a LP member and although our constituency MP is beyond brilliant, I'm going to struggle to vote labour. So damn frustrating. This is absolutely pathetic.

Owen Jones and Jeremy Corbyn and all the prick news misogynists wanking over a biscuit.

SophoclesTheFox · 17/10/2019 08:13

Genuinely had no idea that a bearded person with a low pitched voice, a male looking body, who wears suits and is in charge of the Labour Party would need male pronouns Shock

Thanks Jeremy.

Ya fud.

Coldwatershock · 17/10/2019 08:15

Anyone got any ideas on what left-wing feminists can vote next time?Hmm

OneTerrificMouse · 17/10/2019 08:16

Jeremy, we all know that the leader of the Labour Party is male.

Apollo440 · 17/10/2019 08:24

Arse and hole would be more accurate.

LouiseLouisa87 · 17/10/2019 08:26

What a prat

NotBadConsidering · 17/10/2019 08:35

Why’s he never done this in PM Question Time? Does he only do this when he knows the audience will lap it up?

Macareaux · 17/10/2019 08:44

Reading the #PinkNewsAwards hashtag and seeing all the "great and good" - Bercow, Mordaunt, Abbot, Johnson praising it all to the rafters, and knowing the shit, women-hating, inaccurate 'journalism' that that organisation pumps out has made me think, yet again, that we're fucked. Sorry.

littlbrowndog · 17/10/2019 08:46

Yeah we all know the leader of the Labour Party is a man

The Labour Party has never had a leader who is a woman

BadgertheBodger · 17/10/2019 09:00

Pink News: We hate women!
Labour Party: Us too!!
Corbyn: Country is basically on fire but pronouns important!!
Woke bros and co: Amazing, so brave and supportive,

Women: Arrrrggggghhhhhhh Hmm🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

To paraphrase the excellent Dr Jessica Eaton; for Goddess’ SAKE Jeremy you utter melt

JoyceJeffries · 17/10/2019 09:25

Jeremy seems utterly determined to lose the next election.

What an utter tool.

GlitchStitch · 17/10/2019 09:28

He must be terrified of actually getting elected.
