Jeremy Corbyn

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

I grasp it alright, along with the desperation that goes with it.:lol:
How is your new leader doing?
Can't quite remember her name, she is a dynamic ex County Councillor I believe.

I getting a wee bit feeling she's not up to it. I thought she would be - but now doubting that thought. Just imagine mind - if either Andrea Loathsome or Boris Jokeson were PM (oh I know it's childish and I really shouldn't *******ise names)

 

[Doon frae Troon]

I see that most of the 'resigned' shadow Labour MP's have suddenly come to the conclusion that they can now work with Jeremy.
Wonder if they will 'un-resign' one at a time.

She's not my leader. I'm a paid up member of the Genghis Khan National Front Party for Foxhunting. We don't have any MP's yet but watch this space.

Don't be shy like DfT, she's both your leaders for now.

What is it about JCs arrogant and condescending manner; his uselessness and incompetence as a party leader, and his unelectable unsuitability for PM do his acolytes not get. Then again - they do seem to be acolytes...

I am despairing for the future of the Labour Party. Disappointed to hear Owen Jones say he'll vote - this one last time - for JC - but at least he said that things must change and that this is otherwise his final fling with JC.

The tide has turned.

BTW Interesting way of recording the results table where the 5th placed party finds itself in 3rd place.

And there will be another poll out in a couple of days showing the exact opposite trend. Surely after the last election and the referendum you should have learned not to use the polls as an indicator of anything. And to use a single poll to try and make a point is quite frankly ridiculous.

 

[Doon frae Troon]

On that showing a Labour/SNP 'arrangement' would probably overtake the Tories......good news at last.

Only you know how you can reach that conclusion.

Nationally Labour are seven points behind and the constituency changes will further diminish them. The Government are apparently unpopular and yet the Opposition are still behind in the polls.

But you think a coalition between two parties that are illiterate on the economy would be good news.

Perhaps they could do with a bit of canny Scottish financial knowledge.
Last time I looked the UK national debt stood around £1.46trillion.
I wonder what the repayment levels are on that?

That would be the Scotland that, proportionately, is running a greater deficit than the remainder of the UK. Would that also be where there was a recent indy referendum and the supporters of "Out" were basing their campaign upon oil prices?

And is that also home to the two UK banks that had to be bailed out?

Canny Scottish financial knowledge!!

That's a good one!

And a part of that National Debt is Scotland's as they are still part of the UK. Actually they are creating proportionally more debt that the rest of the UK.

Just for clarity
Scotland's share of that debt is about 8.5% of the total.
Ruk responsible for the other 91.5% of the debt.

You last sentence only makes sense if you have an extremely short memory.

What, all the way back to the reason behind the Act of Union? Who is it with the short memory?

Did you find the comment "Part of that National Debt" difficult to understand?

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

Just can't see Labour under Corbyn getting anywhere near government 2020 or indeed 2025 if he is still leader. And my goodness me - now until 2031 is an awful long time to be under Tory government. Chuka Umunna - we need you.

Not at all, I was just putting a scale to it so overexcited UKIP type members don't get carried away.

Last 30 years will do.....check it out, you may get a surprise.

Just checking that we are still talking about the Scotland whose expenditure continues to exceed its revenue at a greater rate than the remainder of the UK? (That's reported in that well known pro-UKIP publication, The Guardian).

Doon, Been partaking too much of Scotland's fine product?

Meantime - back on topic!!! - Labour doesn't even seem capable of shooting itself in the foot properly! It seems to want to blow away an entire leg! Even the Miliband that should have been leader, had the Unions not demonstrated how daftly self-seekingly stupid they still were/are, appears to despair for the party! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-37438120
