I like a lot of his social ideas, and wouldn't mind seeing him in govt as a Social Services minister, but not PM.

If so then it's just as well that Cameron is a goner after this parliament

Goodness that is worrying....... Bonking Boris is now clear favourite.
Is that not a bit like Trump becoming US President

Boris Bluster, Georgie Boy or Merry May. Plenty of attractive choices there to counter Corbyn

Unlike Labour the Tories will not allow the great unwashed to participate in anything as important as the leadership vote...
Personally can't see DaveCam walking away but should he surprise me and do so...
Can't see beyond Georgie Boy getting the nod...

The great unwashed did for Cameron, why would they change it next time?

As a Tory voter for the last few elections, this whole thing is frustrating me.
I much much prefer JC's "style" with regards to seemingly honest politics, not being "bluster" or doing things for the media. If only he had Tory policies, I would gladly vote for them. Unfortunately, I will continue to vote Tory (despite all the rubbish PR and political gesturing), while I agree with their policies.
My only hope is that JC's popularity can change the face of politics in the Uk, for the good.

Corbyn, surely he's a Tory plant. Destroying Labour day by day.

Very clever man and about to force a major split in his cabinet with a support me or leave option.
He knows exactly what he's doing and if you have never followed his career and his political views, which most people won't haven't, sound s like a real pukker guy.

I can't for the life of me see how the Labour party which is already licking it's wounds can see a split in it's cabinet as a good thing. A number of his shadow cabinet are already talking about leaving.
Could or Corbyn resign, what happens then, who steps in and how long would that take for the party to recover, especially if the new leader then backed the bombings!
I'm a leader get me out of here.....😂😂😂

Not that I am likely to vote for JC as Prime Minister, but at least he is sticking to his left wing pacifist views. From his party's point of view he should just allow his MP's to have a free vote on bombing Syria, rather than risking a big split.

Mr Livingstone assured the British public last night on QT that Labour MPs will have a free vote on the Syrian engagement.
So it's nice to know that Red Ken is making the decisions within the Shadow Cabinet.

I was quietly amused to see most of the panel agreeing with Red Ken on many questions.... even Tory Boy a couple of times.
The Blairite comedian [sic] seemed totally out of touch.

PS Ken was repeating Corbyn's comment on a free vote.

Fatty Abbot seemed to be saying that the Labour lefties will have to follow what JC says.

Not seen or heard it from Corbyn, in fact he was stating the exact opposite this week. Monday may be interesting.
JC rarely followed what his leaders told him to do so his ability to whip his MP's is highly limited. Dianne Abbott is just about the worst MP I have ever come across, awful person. Ignore anything she says.
I think his views on this are interesting and it is good for the country that someone is questioning the endless need to bomb people in this region of the world. We have been doing it for years and I don't see that we have made much progress. I don't know that he is right on this but the fact that he is raising the argument is good. I suspect a good number of the public are with JC on this.
When JC was elected I gave him 18 months max before his own MP's kicked him out / forced him to resign. It could be this subject or another but I don't see that he can last until the next election.

Don't see the harm in JC allowing Labour MPs a free vote.
Ideally, shouldn't every vote be free instead of whipping members to a party line?

Free vote by all parties is the right thing to do.
In 5 years time we can then see what individuals were responsible for whatever outcome.
