Dont you think there will be a split. Even some of those that nominated the man didn't vote for him.

I agree - I think politics will be much more interesting and I look forward to Cameron and Osborne being exposed by Corbyn at the dispatch box as flanneling and superficial lightweights having limited principles upon which they base government policy.

No chance of a split. Entirely right to nominate someone if you think they will add to the debate, but not vote for them.
It needs to disassociate itself from Messrs Blair and Brown, but no reason why it has to be a party of the hard left!

Unfortunately Corbyns inability to give a half decent speech may limit his impact. He's got to stop blaming everyone else for the ills of the country. As someone who has already spent 30+ years in Parliament and his party have had periods in power he has to start taking some responsibility.

Not in any way seeking a move to the 'hard left' whatever that really means...
just policies that don't see PAYE person footing the bill for the whole damn show...

Well - my Mrs just commented that she listenend to his speech on being announced winner and she thought it was excellent. So maybe he isn't as bad at speeching as he is portrayed.

Already stated that he will get others to stand in for him during some PMQs, not the actions of a confident man.
I listened to his speech and we just have different views. It was poor and did nothing but blame others seeming to forget the 11 years of Labour.

Not unusual to have stand-ins at PMQs, is it?

maybe he thinks it's a bit of a waste of time - he can only wind up Cameron so many times - so best get on with something more worthwhile than listen to cameron prattle on.

That was a seriously quick u-turn, mind you don't bang your head!!
Labour may have been buried in Scotland at the last election, and now it looks like it'll happen in England. #a return to the days of foot and Kinnock??

Yes, when PM is at PMQs the leader of the opposition is normally at the opposite despatch box.

Also normal for DC to start taking sly digs at questioners, I think 'normal' will be going out the window from now on!

I wonder when Chuka Amunna will get his title shot, I guess he'll be waiting in the wings until the time is right.

Several whisperings, apparently, that there could be another leadership battle by this time next year...
Maybe why Chuka pulled out.....

Snap election now would really screw 'em 
Never seen a time when the opposition parties were so out of touch with public opinion.

Yes, I certainly think it was a long term plan rather than the excuse he gave at the time. Press harassment wasn't it?

Nope - nothing at all inconsistent with my two statements.
