And let's face it, the rest of the candidates are absolutely piss poor. He's the best option because the rest of them are various versions of the Monster Raving Lib Dems.

It’s come to something when the best candidate is a bumbling buffoon who is a liar and a coward

Yes, on the one hand there's the smiley and completely vacant Swinson and on the other there's the hugely charismatic and forthright Jezza.
A real plethora of great leaders right now.

I don't care about charisma but I do care about a politician who on balance has spent his time arguing for what he believes is right and what will benefit society. Value that more than a notorious liar and charlatan

Good for you. There's always Dianne Abbot to fall back on to do number bonds to 10.

When you pick politicians because they can pull wisecracks and wave Union Jacks you reap the consequences. Corbyn has many faults but I at least buy that he has conviction in what he says as opposed to cracking jokes when under pressure

So as long as he has the conviction in what he says you'll vote for him, irrespective of what it is he actually says. Well done, top marks for that logic.
Who waves a Union Jack ? Nigel Farage ?- there's a leader better than all of them . He has the conviction but can also crack jokes at the same time
I'm guessing you find waving a union Jack offensive. Isn't that a bit old hat ?

I’m not opposed to a flag but these are just things he does to appeal to the lowest common denominator-pint holding also seems to be the fashion with these two. Doesn’t matter if he’s a raging liar who has been a careerist his whole life.

Social democratic policies are tried and tested. Right wing economics tends to cause global crashes while socially conservative policies have failed the test of time. If you’d bothered to read this thread and others you’d see I didn’t want Corbyn in place for an election I didn’t want him to agree to. I’ve spent most of the year criticising him and his party for their handling of Brexit.

I still don’t know who I’ll vote for and with the Tories so far ahead there seems little point anyway. But the usual morons creaming themselves at Fatso getting elected will be the same ones blaming everyone else for Brexit being crap and public services going to shit.

Not where I live, it's neck and neck according to the bookmakers and "Brexit" isn't a consideration as far as I'm concerned. It would be if the two parties were otherwise identical.

Your normal out of touch Tory. The type of person she mentioned does exist. But does she think they don't have living expenses? A lot of people give up their life as they know it to look after someone. They suffer a big income reduction most of the time. Every penny that comes in is needed. Those who have never had financial difficulties or even don't know anyone who has just haven't got a clue. To them it is ready cash....or lack of it that is hard at times. But they don't know what it is like to worry about a bill due in.

I would like to see something like working out how much it would cost for someone to be looked after by the state. Then a minimum payment of 50% given to relatives who look after this person. The ones most in need of help would then get it. But they want it all done for free.

You seem to have failed to notice that the Tories have out Diane Abbotted the Labour Party. The Tories have Rabb and even more worrying Boris. All three of them would have been on the thick table at school and Abbott would have been helping Boris.

I have a feeling that Tories and Labour both have something big (and nasty) up their sleeves that they have been saving until just before the election, in order to have maximum impact and less time to defend against. Some nasty sleeze on Johnson, and something other than the usual anti-semitism stuff on Corbyn. Wonder what it will be.

So that’s interviews and experts the public have apparently had enough of.

How anyone can vote for someone that shows them such contempt is beyond me.

never under estimate the subservient nature of large swathes of the British public. A posh accent can cover a multitude of sins, not least a total lack of substance.

Well...Labour claims about savings under their policies are not credible

So either Labour are also at best telling big porkies, or at worst they are terribly incompetent with the math, is what that suggests to me.

Again, shows them all up to be as bad as each other.

Well there we have it...someone without the balls to defend their own policies but is happy to criticise others' policies off the back of the same interview. Says it all really - and to be sure, its going to look a bit silly when he explains himself tonight.

Hardly seeing as he knows all the Tory lapdogs will rush to defend him anyway. The flak for not doing it will be nothing compare to the flak he would have gotten for being unable to defend his horrendous record, numerous lies and awful policies.

The policies we want are too hard to get so let’s take some more crap instead and ask where the nurses, doctors, teachers and police are a few years down the line.

When I lived in Coventry I did know someone who struggled with the concept of money. Had a social worker to look after the issue this caused until austerity came along.
