The far left in other european countries are eurosceptic. Not here. Labours bad poll ratings are a mix of new labour personel and genuine labour personel having ongoing culture clashes Well he does seem to make illogical statements None while a blend of all above exists No Because he probably dosnt know how. He was elected by the £3 voters. Not sure what point yo're trying to make regarding the £3 voters. Well you are in a very small minority then .

Labour are happy to sit back & watch the Torys tear themselves apart over Europe. Bath This is what angers me about our so called democracy. So many issues Labour could take a lead on, a bit of vision and Hope. Some radicalism. No, in the 2 party system all they feel that they need to do is nothing, or rather"stick together, toe the line ,don't make any mistakes ". The thinking is simply, -the electorate , will only be able to choose between us or them, so just do nothing. Hence Tristram represents Stoke on Trent. Brilliant. Some would say,even worse , following the May elections they could be ousted and old New Labour could be back.I honestly think that they are playing party politics to a much greater extent than the previous leadership

Well you are in a very small minority then . Care to explain? It was in the news you know, about ANYBODY being able to register and vote for corbin as leader, just for the cost of £3. Yes that’s right anybody of any political persuasion at all.

Fantastic move by the Labour Party, still it raised some much needed cash , £3 to fcuk the party up genius decision and they wonder voters are turning away from them in droves.

I can't help but feel incredibly let down by Corbyn. I wanted to see some left wing conviction politics, (not that I'm a lefty), I wanted to see the political landscape brought a little closer to the centre, something that New Labour was incapable of. All I've seen is pettiness and cowardice from Corbyn.

There might have been some people who voted for him with an agenda but I think the majority of the people that voted for him did so because they liked what he had to say.

Corbyn is a liability to the stay in campaign
I assume he's been told to stay away.
Similar to how the tories by in large stayed away from the Scotland vote

Only the most far left basket case could possibly not understand the catastrophic effect he has so far had on the party . I too thought that he might have some policies that I could admire and support , but sadly I can't . From Trident , to staying in the EU , to mass immigration there is nothing to admire . His personality is not that of a Labour leader ....Come to think of it , there isn't many in the party with any statesman like qualities or abilities .
I have never witnessed anything quite like what we now see as the Labour Party . The fact that he has not so far been challenged says a lot more about his MPs too . Many seem very reluctant to comment on anything he has to say . He and The likes of Diane Abbott are an embarrassment to watch .
It will take at least another decade to repair the damage that has been caused .

Can't believe they have spent almost £12,000 of yax payers money on a painting of the bigoted, racist bitch to hang in the houses of Parliament, times of austerity indeed.

I'm no Corbyn fan but it's a fact he won a higher number of votes not only on new members but also on "old" members. He got 250k+ votes out of 420k, there were something like 117k new voters, the runner up was Burnham with 80k votes so he'd still have beaten him with no new members

Of course the vast majority of new members voted for Jezza but that doesn't alter the fact that he also secured a majority of old members so to keep trotting out the line that it was people paying £3 to join who elected him makes you look as daft as people who think he has a cat in hells chance of being PM

If you were a 60 odd year old seasoned campaigner would you want to rock the boat or risk losing your seat ? i doubt it .

Elections have to be independently verified so no doubt the figures are genuine, it's fair to say he only got backing from a small number of MP's and it was also pretty clear the party hierarchy were horrified by the thought of him winning so why would they give out false results? The blokes a fruitcake but he is the fruitcake Labour voted for fair and square.

Unbelievably so apparently he was let loose on our education system for a short while, however he is now an ex teacher which really is not a huge surprise to anyone who has witnessed the quality of his work on this messageboard, cue a meaningless meme from some far left lunatic source probably funded/supported by the Labour party.

You know, for someone who claimed to have had mental health issues you really should show a bit more compassion. Especially when you've been caught out yet again and you resort to hurling abuse. Get some help or clean up your act, sunshine.

He's, possibly the unwitting, cause of a right stramash north of the border just now; Jeremy Corbyn under fire as senior figures attack Scotland rally. Rumours now kicking in of a possible leadership challenge from Dan Jarvis as Corbyn's undoubted popularity among Labour Party members is not reflected in the electorate at large. Labour losing massively to the SNP in the upcoming Scottish Elections is a given. Losing to the Tories - whisper it quietly - is a real possibility! And could have consequences for Labour at the UK level (not just locally up here).
