Jeremy Corbyn

[Khamelion]

When it comes to politics, politicians and voting, the people who are after your vote will do anything, say anything to garner favour. Every politician no matter the colour of their rosette are duplicitous, two faced, disingenuous, people who only have their own interests at heart.

Yes they may put in the odd white paper or ass the odd law that on the surface appears to support this that or the other, but not without making sure they are going to get something out of it. Nothing a politician does is done without having an ulterior motive.

At the end of the day, no matter what the parties manifestos have written, no matter what the leaders spout forth, it's nothing but false platitudes aimed at getting your vote.

I agree that interview was a disgrace and as it was the last interview before it was announced, maybe, just maybe we should show a little compassion.

Doesn't excuse her previous inept displays though.

There was another interviewed that surfaced with Abbott on the Brexit vote where she didn't vote because it was claimed she had a migraine and went home, the interviewer told Abbott that another politician had just undergone a bout of chemo therapy and made the vote in a wheel chair and asked what her why she couldn't vote.

I guess we'll not really know if she is ill or not, regardless of what is reported, so to show her compassion, nope, not when on the surface it appears to be smoke and mirrors to hide the fact she is woefully inept at the role she has/had.

Not supporting her as a politician but as a person, we have no idea what the illness is.

To quote Douglas Adams
"It is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it... anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job."

I've supported Labour most of my life but now I just have no faith in the leadership of the party. It shows how bad it is that now, here in Scotland, the Conservatives are seen as the only viable alternative to the SNP (and God knows we need one). At the local elections I stood with pencil over the ballot paper thinking 'Who the hell should I vote for!?' Some of the principles that Corbyn have are good for the common man but I have absolutely no faith in his leadership abilities. He was totally absent in the Brexit referendum whereas he could have done enough to convince more people to say Stay. SNP I won't vote for as I firmly believe that they are 90% rhetoric, 10% action and the Conservatives seem to be bent on gradually tearing apart our social structures.

I like this, sums things up pretty well, what's the least worst option in essence!

And yet she was JC's choice as Home Sec. Just shows his judgement is seriously flawed and this will have affected his chances of winning.

Hmmm - like someone else in a rather crucial position - DA performs not so great under media pressure and on-screen - but quite possibly perfectly brilliant otherwise. And I agree DA's performances have certainly not helped the Corbyn position - but neither have the performances of TM helped May. And whilst the Tories are stuck with TM - Labour can change DA.

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

And to then blatantly lie about her being "ill". He should have stood up and said words like, good God who knew she was that bad? I've fired her and she will NEVER get anywhere near the front benches again.

You know for a fact that she is not suffering from stress and anxiety? Or does stress and anxiety not count as ill?

We obviously have to take her at her word after all she's a politition.

Or just show some of the compassion some are asking for Tiger, or at least until it's clear exactly what's wrong with her.

You know what I do in my spare time. I'm full of compassion and I never judge

I KNOW what's wrong with her!!!! LOL !!! Yes it is funny !!!!!!! So ner !

 

[Tashyboy]

Being reported as a long term illness. Doesn't strike me as funny.

Never mind Abbott, Corbyn going strong. 'Mon the Jezza!

Despicable May gone by Friday 11am - you heard it here first.

Tickled me that did Tashy

(no that was not a double entendre..)

Yes, always thought she was full of it , especially when she was on This Week.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

If DA is genuinely ill then I wish her well, forget politics at that point as she is human. However her record as a politician is one of continual awfulness. Quite possibly a decent local MP but hugely out of her depth at a national level and should not be anywhere near a shadow or full cabinet post. It was a bad decision by Corbyn to choose her but TM's cabinet has its fair number or inept politicians so they are in no place to crow.

I don't know what's worse, Diane Abbott and Jeremy Corbyn at it or John Major and Edwina Curry ditto
