What will the Mirror, Guardian and Observer say?

Well the Guardian has gone with this General election: Corbyn declines to apologise over antisemitism in BBC interview – live news basically the same as the right leaning rags.
Can’t see anything from the Mirror as of yet.

You have to wonder how much better Labour would be doing if they had someone more acceptable at the helm.

So many people just do not care for him at all.

Make no mistake - unless Labour churn out Blair 2.0 then the next leader will get the same treatment.
If they do get Blair 2.0 then they will be decimated as a party.

I think they’re all going with this instead Sajid Javid falsely claims Tory leaders have never been accused of Islamophobia

I guess you were a Michael Foot fan back in the day? Why not accept most people see sensible and want prosperity for the hard working and not hand outs to the losers in society?

You only have an underclass because the capitalists just will never accept the word ‘enough’

Maybe we should look at the ‘benefits’ at both ends of the scale.... don’t you agree?

Mr Corbyn I believe has a million pound property? The great socialist Mr McCloskey earns £400,000 a year.

I doubt these true socialists will ever have too much to worry about do you?

Completely deflecting from the point. Goes well in the collection alongside not caring about the breakup of the country

Exactly. Being wealthy enough to join tax avoidance schemes is a cost to the public purse. And therefore a benefit.

I think we can all agree that if you achieve and work hard you SHOULD enjoy rewards.

I think we can also agree that if you achieve and work hard it DOESN'T MEAN YOU GET rewards.

Not sure the MCB are representative of most Muslims. I think successive governments haven’t dealt with them due to historical links to extremists. I have to admit, I’m not sure where the relationship is currently other than looking at their twitter feed, very anti Tory (some of it possibly justifiable, some of it not)

From what I’ve read/heard the Jewish community as a whole was historically very much supporters of labour and this is a recent change of stance (I stand to be correct but think that’s the case)

There are several high profile groups that represent the Jewish community. The fact that some of those are in direct conflict about this comment suggests that it is complicated - I would suggest this reflects the division on the Israel/Palestine conflict.

Corbyn has his strings pulled by Sturgeon - she said that at the last debate - he just wants the top job and doesn’t give a fuck about principals - don’t be so naive

By that logic, Mr Johnson does not either - as David Cameron seems to think.

Like or loath her I find Nicola Sturgeon the most accomplished politician of all the leaders. Corbyn had a terrible interview tonight imo. He seemed rattled and his calmness entirely strained and overacted. I'm looking forward to the buffoon Johnson being grilled but Andrew Neil needs to pin him down and prevent the usual waffle and sound bites. Depressing stuff really.

All on a day that a think tank fronted by a Tory claims child poverty is on course to reach a 60 year high under the Tories.

You taking her words at face value when her agenda is there for all to see is the bigger display of ignorance. At least we can dispel the idea that the hard Brexiteers give a damn about the British interest
