[Politics] Where is Corbyn ?

[Hampster Gull]

Not tory biased at all. The government should be the only negotiators. If labour was the government then only they should be there. It's quite simple really

Our government isn’t even trying to land an agreement within the U.K., it is trying to stream roller it’s own views. Two votes down, worst ever and forth worst ever. They have lost all control, of course people will talk around them, they are the walking dead

He’s at his allotment asking advice from his vegetables who, lets face it, are far more intelligent than he is.

He is not a leader.
Simple as.

 

[goldstonegull]

He's having a drink in Ireland with his IRA buddies

 

[Hugo Rune]

Shame he won’t be at the march today. Looking forward to hearing from one of his likely successors.

Oh don't be so harsh on yourself

 

[maltaseagull]

If he's in Brussels looking at the realistic alternatives once the worst PM in living memory has been booted out, then he's actually acting very responsibly (for a change).

He is going to challenge May for that title.

I thought he might like you?

Really worn out with all this he says she says nonsense. Literally staggering how some people claim to know what Corbyn is doing every minute of the day.

Parliament is split 50/50 so there will never be agreement on Brexit. 75% of MP’s in Parliament voted “remain” so will continue to vote against Brexit. Cutting to the chase, we may as well all just go and piss into the wind!

No.

The real problem here is that too many MPs are following the party whip. If they all ignored it, things would move forward. The Brexit vote was not under party lines and its all gone wrong because they’ve all reverted to petty party politics.

Corbyn’s obsession with a general election has been very damaging. He must realise that May is so weak now that she will get kicked out whatever finally gets agreed. He has no pragmatism at all.

He's had 3 years to nail his colours to a mast and stand next too it.

Had he done so, whether I agreed with him or not, I'd certainly have respect for him and his principles.

He simply can’t though, he faces a huge dilemma.

The Brexit vote figures in the Labour heartlands of Wales, the North and Midlands very signficant, in some places 65%. A world away from the Remain bubble of Brighton, Hove and London.

Whilst he’s also trying to appeal to the stauch Remainers in the 18 to 39 age bracket.

He needs both to win a general election. So he tries to keep quiet on the EU as much as can.

I can remember Tony Benn getting just the same vilification back in the day. The lies were horrendous. He was portrayed as a wild eyed prophet in the desert and all sorts of wacky images. Then he retired and suddenly everyone said he was wonderful. I once tried to book for his one man show. There was an 18 month waiting list.
Corbin is his successor.

That’s very true about Tony Benn. In his latter years he was loved all round as an ultra intelligent man of integrity, with a lifetime steeped in parliamentary and British living history. Before that his enemies were not just the Daily Mail and ‘the Establishment’ ... the Dennis Healey and James Callaghan dominant wing of the Labour Party loathed his maverick left wing agenda.

Tony Benn produced a great person in Hilary. He reminds me of Frank Field in that he’s a social democrat, without the angry class warrior traits of so many others. The key thing is, someone like him would win so many more votes from middle England. The angry left and disenchanted 22 year olds don’t give the numbers to get 326 MP’s elected.
