I find it really sad people are jumping for joy over this situation. He's actually got policies and given people a choice. A politician with clear policies is a real rarity these days. And I wonder if the only reason he's "not electable" or "not a great leader" is because the media have been going on about it since day one. Over, and over, and over and over and over. Whatever you think of him, he's fighting for the little man. If you don't agree, fair enough, but those who HATE him come across as completely brainwashed. I'd just like to see someone actually critiqué his policies instead of just repeat the same old boring rhetoric. And accept he is "wrong but coming from an honest place" if you're not a fan, because you can't question the mans integrity. On a side note, Hilary Benn is a proper flannel Edited by Mr Fenandes (27 Jun 2016 5.19pm) Check out our Croydon-based football comedy series 'Road to F.A. Cup'!

Originally posted by Hrolf The Ganger Again you use the age old tactic of asking for back up where you know none can be reasonably provided.

What you just listed as his agenda could be attributed to me or loads of others. That is not what scares voters. What does is his attitude toward unions,defense,The Falklands etc. The wise see through his nicely airbrushed populist policies and see him for what he really is. Edited by Hrolf The Ganger (27 Jun 2016 3.29pm) That sort of trite insults your own intelligence Mr the Ganger. I expect better. What spurious figures do which you refer? A 7% swing from the Tories in Tooting, a labour Mayoral victory, the highest % of remain voters in all parties? Among the lowest amount of expenses claimed in his time in parliament? He stood against the Iraq war which was mirrored by the million plus who marched against the war in London and more elsewhere. It could be argued he was right. Look at the can of worms opened. I fear his days as leader may be numbered but hope he stands his ground,he did seem very defiant when having a dig at those sat behind him in the Commons today (Cameron made me chuckle with his comment to the new Tooting mp). Those behind the coup have been waiting for a moment to carry one out. Shameful. I wonder how Blairite members of progress will react to the Chilcot enquiry in a couple of weeks.

During an election campaign he will get a chance to get his policies across rather than being ignored by the media when he was travelling the length of the country during the referendum campaign just so they could say he was ineffectual. Their reporting deliberately kept Corbyn's campaigning low key IMHO. Plenty of Corbyn supporters gathering in Parliament square at the moment. But like many marches and demos will be zero coverage!

Good news for all those people that say politicians don't have experience of the real world. Here's a few of the new shadow cabinet: Clive Lewis, the new shadow defence secretary, is an Afghan War veteran. The shadow Northern Ireland secretary, David Anderson, was a coal miner for 25 years. The shadow education secretary, Pat Glass, worked in education for people with special needs. Kate Osamor, shadow international development secretary, worked in a GP practice. Shadow environment, food and rural affairs secretary Rachel Maskell worked in the NHS for 20 years. Rebecca Long-Bailey, shadow chief secretary to the Treasury, worked as a solicitor. And Andy McDonald, shadow transport secretary, worked as a lawyer. Hardly the career politicians that are resigning...
