Jeremy Corbyn

[ger147]

I said I think Corbyn at PMQs will show Cameron up for what he is; but that maybe Corbyn doesn't think it necessary or worthwhile doing PMQs all the time. Whats contradictory about that?

Spinning around so fast has obviously left you a little confused. I suggest a wee lie down.

Can anyone on here bar the far left Labour supporters see Corbyn as PM ? Really ?

About as likely as DaveCam stepping down ahead of the next election [as he keeps promising]...

Jezza will be 70+ by time of the next election so unlikely to be leading the party...
However this should be the wake up call the party needs with where it is heading...

And yes please to a snap election...
Momentum is a good thing in politics...

Did you actually look at the results? He nearly won 50% outright on full member votes.

And not clutching at straws at all - what brings down governments? "Events, dear boy"

Would need some catastrophic event for people to even think about having Corbyn as PM.

I can't see a reason why the Tories would even contemplate a snap election

Did some on here not call him unelectable as Labour leader.
As said, political momentum is a strange thing, ask Jim Murphy?

Arghhhhhhhhhh, you cannot have a snap election nowadays.
Do you politicos not know the rules.

They would need to change the law first since the Fixed Term Parliaments Act of 2011.

All clutching at straws really though isn't it


Corbyn got in because of those "200,000" £3 votes.

He did not
Read the result and stop guessing to suit your political orientation.

I have no idea what some called him on here.

He won't be PM - the Tories have been secured another election victory

Coming from you that must be compliment

That's what you have been doing for the past two years.

An overwhelming 85% of people who signed up as affiliated supporters for £3 voted for Mr Corbyn - but he also topped the ballot among party members and trade unionists.

I've not read today's posts yet.........how long did it take him to turn/attempt to turn it into another SNP/independence debate?

If you discount the new Registered Supporters category, he still got 51.4% so would still have won in the 1st round.

I just find it quite interesting that the Labour Party have backed Corbyn with nigh on 60% of the vote - a guy who in his 30 odd years as an MP has rarely voted with his Party, has stayed firmly on the back benches, has never "lead" anything, seems to have spent a lot of his time associating with dubious groups/people and will be 70 come the next election.........

Let's see how he does when the dust settles.

7 resignations already from what are being called senior MP's saying they cannot serve under Jeremy Corbyn. Looks like things aren't quite as rosy in the Labour garden as some on here want to believe. Yvette Cooper, Chuka Umunna, Rachael Reeves, Tristram Hunt, Emma Reynolds, Jamie Reed and Liz Kendall have all resigned. I wonder how many more will follow suit.

And now the shadow chancellor Chris Leslie has gone as well taking the number to 8 resignations. I can only imagine the glee from Labour supporters if this was happening to the Conservatives. Constant predictions from some on here of the Tories tearing themselves apart. Looks like Labour are going to beat them to it.

There is almost always some blood letting following a leadership election...

Bit disappointed in 1 or 2 that have chosen to leave the fold but there'll be plenty willing to take their place...

Onward and upward...

No doubt 'socialist' Dianne Abbott will pop up in his shadow cabinet.

And to think, this is the party that just 4 months ago were telling us all they were centre left. Glad I wasn't fooled.

What they actually said was "We own the middle ground"...

That is marginally left of DaveCams mob...

An absolutely superb choice



For the Conservatives!

One thing, that is for sure, no Aussie born media man is going to walk into Jezzas office and tell him what his policies will be...
