The Jeremy Corbyn thread

[JC Footy Genius]

Imagine a post EU Britain, without Scotland, run by Corbyn, happy days

Imagine a post EU Britain free, prosperous, united with Prime Minister Bojo having just won his third consecutive GE

If it's ok with you and you don't mind,I would rather not, it's been a heavy few days.

Corbyn is unassailable. The party members and unions won't usurp him. Under labour's constitution he is safe. Tnanks to the cretins who designed things to be this way (was it Thick Ed? Can't recall . . .)

I just hope he isn't so deluded that he thinks this justifies his continued position. If he has one ounce of insight he'd resign. Compared with Cameron, if he carries on, he is a political pygmy (and I have little time for Cameron).

Quite separately, anyone who thinks that a series of Boris led governments is a good thing, has been smoking far too much weed. The man is a charlatan, and I doubt his own party will forgive him.

cant stand corbyn in the slightest,but im going to give him the benefit of the doubt(for a short period)

We have voted out,what the country needs now is support across the political spectrum and a clear positive message from all that this country will strive forward.
If he comes out in the coming days and puts the result to bed and looks to the future all well and good. If he is going to play silly buggers like sturgeon and just try to wreck everything and stick his oar in,then its time to go.......
This week will be interesting to say the least.

We really have jumped the shark now. Diane Abbott - health - it's like the last reshuffle in series 3 of the thick of it!

It is getting quite surreal. This was supposed to be the Tories' clusterf*ck. Here's a completely irrelevant but amusing stat - more shadow ministers resigned than there were people at the pro-Corbyn rally/demonstration yesterday.

In your opinion as a long-time Labour party member do you reckon that all the metropolitan three pounders will still back Corbyn in huge numbers given that he effectively sabotaged the Labour Remain campaign and it would appear that they, the three-pound entryists, were almost universally Remain supporters?

At least Jeremy can always rely on the support of Diane Abbott .

"Dear new MP who has only entered the commons recently. Will you come out and say something positive about Jeremy and/or the need for everyone to stick together if we give you a shadow cabinet position?"

"Yes"

"Which one do you want?"

It's like watching kids pick teams for football. All the good ones have gone, and they're having to make do with the shit ones now.

This. Meanwhile the Lib Dems have come out fighting. Vote for us and we won't be activating Article 50 because the referendum was won because of lies. Nicely done. The Lib Dems finally throwing off their woolly flannel and telling it how it is.

That's me voting Lib Dem already.

I'm even contemplating becoming a member! Tim Farron has gained some traction in the media over this, and has been impressive, assured and statesmanlike.
