I'm not known for my New Left sympathies. But the criticism of Corbyn seems to be akin to the anti-Farage nonsense. Who cares if he did not sing a song. Prime Minister's Question Time was far better than usual with policies and their results being calmly discussed. Corbyn is far more Old Labour than New Left/Lib, which is good. His focus on trade union rights and working people is to be welcomed. If only he would drop his New Left stances on Irish and Palestinian terrorism and be sensible about immigration and benefits, he would be a candidate for my vote. If he does come out against the EU, he will definitely get my vote.

I kinda figured, what with you being such an avid campaigner and all that, you'd welcome the views of the electorate being aired. I've not complained about the views of the electorate being aired.But 6 questions hardly reflect the public mood ! I would far rather Paxman ask the PM and really 'grill' him on his answers.Not "Comrade Corbyn" with his form of extreme socialism who just asks questions and never "drills down" into the reply.All very bland and soporific.
You look forward to PMQ's purely for the 'theatrical element'.
No, I look forward to PMQs for the cut and thrust of lively debate triggered by questions to the PM. The cut and thrust of lively debate?
Time to move forward together. |

We are totally on the opposite sides of the "House" on this one with NO chance of there ever being a defection !

"Comrade Corbyn" embodies a form of extreme Socialism so old that people seem to have forgotten how dangerous it can be. The hard-left policies of envy and social division involving high taxation of the middle classes, ruinous public spending, reckless borrowing and kow-towing to trade union power etc etc etc. What a great leap backwards for 'Labour'.

The hard-left policies of envy and social division involving high taxation of the middle classes, ruinous public spending, reckless borrowing and kow-towing to trade union power etc etc etc. What a great leap backwards for 'Labour'. I certainly don't support his New Left policies and am contemptuous of most New Left ideas. However, I certainly support trade unions, to whom ordinary working people owe their betterment over the years. The Tories in the past have opposed every measure that would have helped ordinary people: abolition of child labour; votes for working men; trade union rights; state funded education; old age pensions; votes for women; National Health Service - it's hard to think of one measure put forward by the Tories that has benefited ordinary working people. Tory/New Labour economics have not been very successful in recent years, nor have the privatised railways and utilities. What you call 'hard-left' could be applied to the post-war Labour government - the most left wing government we have ever had, and they didn't do so bad. What we need them to drop is all the New Left bollocks - uncontrolled immigration; multi-culturalism; support of the EU; pandering to terrorism; USA hatred; unilateral nuclear disarmament, etc Edited by leggedstruggle (16 Sep 2015 9.45pm)

Nothing of "Substance" in the current Labour opposition under "Comrade Corbyn". Anyway, off to bed now !

Cameron's point scoring and constant emphasis on the economy may become a little tiring and the Tories may have to rethink their leadership soon enough. May make Corbyn seem like a political genius and genuine reformer whilst revealing the Tories as the 'crab people' they really are. What a lot of hogwash. It is hardly hogwash that every answer from Cameron, about any subject, harps on about how wonderful the Tories are with the economy - which they are not. They are simply running the country whilst the global economy is coming out of a recession. Bascially the only way is up when there is a low starting point. Don't worry though - the next recession will come soon enough and austerity and cuts will not make a blind bit of difference.

After listening to a few radio programmes yesterday, I agree with DanH. The phony outrage over the national anthem stuff is pathetic. Amber Rudd was banging on about it on the World at One. Pouring slime over Corbyn in a fit of phony outrage, pretending he was some kind of traitor. Amber Rudd. Worked as a consultant at JP Morgan. Then at a Venture Capital fund. Then she ran a financial headhunting company. If she ever sang the national anthem, except at a rugby match, before she went into politics, I'll eat my hat.

We've seen 1,000 new jobs every single day this Government has been in office; There has been a cut in income tax for over 26 million people, helping them keep more of the money they earn; The Government have cut the deficit by half as a share of our economy and the plan is to get in the black this Parliament so Britain can once again live within its means. The Government are building a strong economy so we can secure the future of everyone in our country - whether that's by investing in our NHS, giving our children a good education or looking after the elderly in our society. I could go on and on with more facts and figures and provide more examples but I am just about to go out to Worthing !
