    Oh Jeremy Corbyn

    The link was not about Amunna, despite the misleading headline. He had commented on the poll. It was evidence to support the point that the majority of Labour supporters want to stay in the SM and customs union. The country is already fractured.

    Oh Jeremy Corbyn

    Umunna – Majority of British public want to stay in Single Market and Customs Union Indeed, but on this issue it is JC and shadow cabinet line that is out of step with Labour members and voters.

    Oh Jeremy Corbyn

    We have to wait to see what emerges. Many possibilities. One scenario is that Labour will continue in factional fighting until the left disintegrates into cliques and turn on each other, then the sensible people will kick the troublemakers out and unite around a new leader. Then Labour can win...

    Oh Jeremy Corbyn

    Unfortunately for Labour the country has rejected the centre left, so called Blairite position, but it has moved to the right in the process and we now have a PM with broadly sympathetic positions to the centrists running the country. I know a lot of Labour people and none of them are Blairites...

    Oh Jeremy Corbyn

    To answer points made to me. Hard left is the term I am familiar with from the 80s days of Militant Tendency etc. I know them when I see them. Two areas I don't agree with JC 1. I have fe.w issues with Corbyn's domestic policies. I take issue with Foreign policies - anti Nato, anti nuclear...

    Oh Jeremy Corbyn

    I don't defend the press. Much of it is disgraceful. The alternative to accepting the press is censorship unless you have other ideas? A hallmark of extremists. In a free society we are stuck with the press. Labour people I know realise they have to get their message through the fog of...

    Oh Jeremy Corbyn

    It makes no difference whether you believe it or not. I have voted Labour in every election since 1978. I was a member as a student. I have canvassed for Labour as recently as 2015. A member of my family works for a Labour MP. You need to remove your blinkers and realise that Labour is a broad...

    Oh Jeremy Corbyn

    Media makes up stuff because that's what the media does. They cannot help themselves, although they are usually spinning a real event into something it is not. I think they are doing JC a favour actually. Keeps him in the public eye (when his actual pronouncements and questions in parliament are...

    Oh Jeremy Corbyn

    Not sure I buy this 'constant media attacks' on Corbyn boo boo, line. Firstly, every Labour leader gets ripped apart by the RW rags like the Mail, Sun and Express. Ed and in the early days TB got vicious stick. Secondly, Corbyn has given his critics a hell of a lot of rope to hang him with. He...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    One thing is certain if Brexit turns out to be a disaster those who voted Leave will not take any blame. It will be the fault of, The nasty foreigners, EU The nasty foreigners, who will continue to migrate to U.K. The remainers for having sabotaged the deal in some way. The politicians who...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Maybe this should be in the things that annoy you thread but 'baby boomer' is a misnomer. It covers 1945-1964. There is really no comparison between the experience of those born in 1945 with those born in 1964. I know since I have cousins born in those years. Most pensioners were born before...

    Oh Jeremy Corbyn

    Even Caroline Lucas managed to sound hawkish and not mealy mouthed, supporting a firm stand. National security is the first duty of a government. Corbyn doesn't measure up.
