Just feels so damn good to have some Old Labour values to believe in again finally, rather than be faced with a line-up of ToryLite Blue Peter presenters. Corbyn might well crash and burn. There's certainly a massive Tory press gathering out to get him earlydoors. Pretty large New Labour whisperings also. But at least he will give it a real good go, same as Syriza did in Greece. And he'll win a shitload of points over Cameron in the Commons just by calmly, honestly and eloquently speaking up on behalf of those currently being bullied on the sharp end of the Tory austerity measures. Who knows, maybe the odd fully-deserving banker will have the shit kicked out of them in th ecourts. Or maybe the odd multi-national will be forced to pay a bit of tax. This time around, things CAN only get better.

Perhaps he should turn up for more than one in five PM questions?

This, he's far happier hanging out at rallies we he doesn't have to face confrontation, he is weak.

I guess the alternative to that is he isn't a man wanting to stick to tradition...and is happy to share the responsibility..i'm not that enamoured with the guy but i'll remain open to how this works..certainly looking forward to the first PM question with him and Cammie

The best thing about Jeremy Corbyn being Labour leader is that he will gradually make them such an irrelevant political party, that the Grauniad and Mirror will have no choice but to cease publication. His political views are as outdated as his dress sense, and hair cut. He will drag the Labour party back into the 80's dark ages.

I still haven't finished laughing about his appointment.

I just rejoined the party today, having renounced membership as soon as B.Liar become co-conspirator to the illegal and immoral invasion of Iraq..

Sounds like one of us is the other's second account. You are me...or we have both done the same thing - twice.

What is funny is that we have had 150 pages and it seems nearly everybody wanted Jez to win, the Labour supporters wanted him to win, the Greens seem to be jumping ship.....and those that do not support Labour wanted him to win. :)

That is because people on NSC were lucky enough to be brought up in the free market and freedom of the West. The mantra of it is an unworkable utopia also is wrong. It is not a utopia being told what to do by the state. If you had friends who were unfortunate enough to have suffered under socialism then you wouldnt buy the line that it is a cuddly, nice system. It is an immoral infringement of an individuals rights. At it's core socialism believes that a politician will decide what resources are put into what instead of letting us, the people decide what it is we want. The control of the market and the consequential infringement in our civil liberties is immoral and those of you who back this socialist should hang your heads in shame. Socialism caused the greatest tyranny that Europe has seen in both the USSR and Germany. At both their core was a politician / state official run system, as against our freedom of the individual.

I think you are preaching to the converted here.
