Jeremy Corbyn.

It's up there with squeezing 18 Joy Division and New Order titles into an article what I wrote for the club programme as one of the highlights of my life

Thought it was bit out of order that they'd booked you to comment on Rugby World Cup finances but the first question Rachel asks you is straight out of left field about that mad bint that wants to take her 3 month old baby to 8 matches. Nicely handled though.

They did give me a heads up about the babies question to be fair to them, AND it meant I could stare deep into her eyes.

Have just Googled to find she lives in the same village as me!

Just home from London, listening to PMQ and to be fair Corbyn did well and asked some very good questions.

"Those" includes both Cameron and Corbyn. I think it's fair to say both see a bit more than the odd few minutes on the News at 10

Cameron is going to love the new format of course he will embrace it,

Corbyn asks a question, Cameron gets the chance to air Tory policy free from confrontational rebuttal,
Corbyn asks another question Cameron gets the chance to air Tory policy free from confrontational rebuttal,
Corbyn asks another question Cameron gets the chance to air Tory policy free from confrontational rebuttal.

Top work from Jeremy "I don’t do conflict" Corbyn.

Im looking forward to when he is PM(a forgone conclusion according to a couple of people on here) and has to speak to all the world leaders on serious matters…….do you think he will open with Claire from Gillingham asks…………..?

Taken at face value, what McDonnell said seemed reasonable to me. As did a number of other items in that particular interview.

Reasonable? John McDonnell was simply trying to weasel out of what he said previously in that interview and its not even very convincing.



Now saying he previously didn’t chose the right words cuts no mustard with me. He knew FULL well what he was saying all those years ago,its not as though they were off the cuff remarks.

"It's about time we started honouring those people involved in the armed struggle. It was the bombs and bullets and sacrifice made by the likes of Bobby Sands that brought Britain to the negotiating table. The peace we have now is due to the action of the IRA."

He is back in the public spot light and will judged on what he said until the point he admits he was wrong.
That’s never going to happen though, instead he is trying to now claim his thinking and comments went someway to saving the peace process and saved lives.

what a complete ct

Its unbelievable The Labour Party have elevated this bloke to a serious political position. And im glad this issue got brought up during PMQ,the resounding cheer from all sides of the House on this matter to the question posed by Nigel Dodds tells you all you need to know.



Except for your default mode of backing everything Labour no matter what ,I cannot for the life of me understand why you think John Mcdonnell comments on the IRA are justified

I agree with a lot of what you say about PMQ. Does kind of play into Cameron's hand. But perhaps it will develop the more he does it. Still preferable to all that braying in the past though.

You're always so patronising though, which is a bit rich seeing as you're one of NSC's top posters of your own opinion on matters political.

As i pointed out earlier there is much more to parliamentary debate than PMQ,its silly theatrics but i believe it gets people interested and therefore involved rather than turns them off.
There is plenty of parliamentary debate on the parliament channel to watch that is nothing like PMQ

I think maybe you are confusing patronising with opinion though,although i dont wish to be perceived as overtly patronising the very nature of saying ones political opinion is better than an opinion of someone else is by definition patronising,we are all guilty of being patronising by indulging in political debate.........of course this is your opinion and i dont want to appear patronising.

I plead guilty of loving politics

It was your last line that I found patronising, not your opinions.

Anyway, what I don't understand about the many people mocking him, not aimed at you, is that his rise surely shows many people want something different. Whatever your political point of view, it's not something to ignore with all the usual 'lefty' cliches.
I have many doubts that he'll be successful but it's fascinating none the less.

That may be true for you, and you will not be the first on here who has then gone on to say that "huge swathes" and "hundreds of thousands" agree in an attempt to lend a bit of credence. He has been in the political wilderness for decades and there is surely a reason for this. Yes, he did win the contest easily, but then perhaps that says something about the contest, when all of a sudden those eligible to vote seemed to multiply in the previous few weeks .It is hard to avoid the suspicion that it was orchestrated by his supporters. He may go on to win hearts and minds - who knows - but please don't try and give the impression that his elevation is due to popular demand.

His victory was organised by his supporters.....as all leadership campaigns are. And out of interest how do you explain the tens of thousands that have been joining or rejoining the Labour since his victory? He is where he is due to popular demand. To say anything else is absurd.

PMQ's was about as exciting as tippy tappy football and resembled some third rate phone in programme.

So are Holly Willoughby and Konnie Huq, and THAT'S why I have to wear an electronic tag.

Very good point. Trust you enjoyed a pint with [MENTION=19321]Pogue Mahone[/MENTION] the other night, I was tempted myself bumping into Pogue on our bikes on the way out, but all the excitement was too much for me...

Yes please.

Do you think we have dumbed down this thread sufficiently now Trig?

Probably we differ on our interpretations of "popular". I was thinking of the country as a whole, when it would be absurd to say that he is where he is due to popular demand. His elevation is clearly controversial even within his own party! You are talking about the converted, when "tens of thousands" have joined the Labour Party, and within that rather narrow spectrum of opinion, then it probably is due to popular demand. But as you know, that is not the impression that the previous post, along with others, was trying to give.

It had dragged on long enough and was getting a bit dull, right?
