Is this the one about Portsmouth? They really should put it in the thread title.

Ah yes … I’ve been doing a combination of things … even walked from Shoreham Beach to the Amex for one game. Sometimes get bus into Brighton and walk from there. Depends what’s happening on the day really. But haven’t forgotten your very kind offer

I expect Corbyn and many others who desire world peace would agree with Swansmans argument but might make the case in a slightly less aggresive manner. I like his argumentative nature its entertaining and he writes extremely well for someone who I assume is not a native speaker. He is of course wrong about MMT being boring. Everyone has their faultsGood grief. This thread has been ruined. One poster has an understandable (but in my view misplaced) issue with another and then a baying mob of yah-boo bullies surround the two, going 'fight! fight!', like all the fat and weak boys in the playground when we were kids.
But.....what.....what about......whatabout Jeremy Corbyn?
There are some posters on this thread who would do well to heed Bozza’s sticky.
Further examples will be dealt with accordingly.

I had a guilt free pie as my reward
You don't get irony, badinage, facetiousness or any sort of lowbrow tomfoolery, do you?
It's an interesting question. Ken Livingstone famously did this in 2000 and was then welcomed back into the fold once he'd won.
Would Corbyn have the same reach as Livingstone had? I don't think so personally. The difference is that KL was a passionate London man who didn't aspire to a major position in national politics in quite the same way. He was a high profile agitator but was never interested in being PM.

cant really see Corbyn running for mayor, too narrow, he likes to pontificate on a broad range of issues. likely run and win as independent for Islington.

I don’t think Corbyn ran for the leadership because he wanted to be PM, he just wanted to reorganise and change the power structure of the Labour Party
From what I’ve read of him as a constituent MP he is very hands on, deals with a lot of peoples issues and cases personally and puts long hours in at a very grass roots level
Think London Mayor would appeal to him

He’d be better off being a specialist advisor to Putin as he’s always liked Russia !

Can you imagine the UK government's reaction to Russian aggression in Ukraine if Corbyn had become PM ... a bit of mild condemnation while also blaming NATO and of course no military aid, no standing shoulder to shoulder with our international allies .... instead, offering to send one of his illustrious cabinet comrades (Abbott or Starmer?) to mediate ...

Russia-Ukraine war: Jeremy Corbyn was right all along about Putin and his oligarchs
Far from being pro-Putin, Corbyn warned against him when others didn’t

Corbyn has long spoken out against Putin and not palled around with him like Blair or taken lots of funding like the Tories.
