Jeremy Corbyn

Good to see the tory backbenchers, who were taking the p!ss out of Corbyn’s tie today, put in their place by TM when she informed them it was in memory of all the victims at Grenfell.

Corbyn losing the plot in Scotland, trying to re-write history by blaming the SNP for putting the Thatcher government into power when it was actually the 34 Labour rebels who did the deed.

Did the SNP vote with the tories?
Can you explain as according to official records, Thatcher got 311 votes to 310 to win the motion.The picture shows who voted Aye.
Don’t see any Labour Rebels there.

For me the key part of what he said was "I don't know all the details but....". Well Jeremy, maybe you should get to know all the details before you comment on something.

In the 2 min video Corbyn says “if possible” he should of been arrested.
The if possible is not in the LBC headline so, imo, is misleading if people don’t actually watch and listen, he also accepted he didn’t know all the facts of the raid as the US hadn’t released the details.
For all anyone knows the objective was possibly to catch him, otherwise they could of flattened the place without risking any Forces lives.

Sorry, couldn't resist adding the bit in bold. (y)

I agree with regard to the headline not being accurate or with it being misleading, but from the information that is in the public domain al-Baghdadi ran in to a dead end tunnel and detonated a suicide vest. To me that rules out any chance of arresting him. The problem is that it's no longer possible to trust news sources. You have to look at who has published the story and what their political leaning is and then come to your own conclusions about how accurate it is likely to be. For example an article in the Mail attacking Corbyn or and article in the Mirror attacking Boris will both need plenty of external verification before you can accept them.

Totally agree, the mission will of had many aims, even the fact they chased him down the tunnel and sent the dog after him, if they wanted him dead they would of used grenades etc and threw them in.

I’ve got no issue with the media playing games because as you say they all do it, you just hope people will see some of that and make their own judgement.

Re the bit in bold, good to see you think Labour will win the GE. ;)

I'm not sure anyone is going to "win" in this GE. It might be that the party that doesn't get the most votes will actually end up as the winner - maybe not immediately but in the medium/long term. If the Tories win and then manage to balls up Brexit it will almost certainly be a win for Labour in the longer term. And equally if Labour win and balls up the Brexit renegotiation/2nd referendum then it could be a win for the Tories in the longer term. It could actually be a good election for either of the main parties to lose. Short term pain for longer term gain.

Of course I could be completely wrong and Boris or Jeremy are going to win a clear majority and lead us on to a bright new future for the UK. But if it's OK with you I'm not going to be holding my breath for either of those outcomes.
