O/T - Looking on the bright side...

Jeremy Corbyn was on top form in The House yesterday...

A recent Poll conducted by the Labour Party resulted in 59% wanting Corbyn as their leader. A similar Poll conducted by the Tory Party resulted in a unanimous 100% vote for Corbyn!

Yep, the forecast doesn't look good until at least 2020...

How many Labour leaders between now and then?

The minimum required to stop your lot from ruining our country.

Don't enter these political threads, but Mr Osborne will be sharpening his axe again ready for this afternoon - Just another £20billion

It could make a good quiz question closer to the 2020 General Election
Name all the Labour Party leaders since Ed Milliband, and before the current leader of the Party, Owen Jones
For a bonus point, name all 10 of them in the correct chronological order, starting with Ed Milliband?

I firmly disagree with Jeremy Corbyns politics and ideals.

What I will say is bravo for his stance. He's got the leadership on being the leader of the Shouty Left of North London, and hasn't budged an inch and stayed resolute to his beliefs instead of bowing to a more electable standpoint.

For that he has my respect.

Except for saying he wouldn't accept police shoot-to-kill policies then changing his mind a few days later. Except for agreeing to support a vote on budget responsibility, then changing his mind and ordering MPs to vote against it. Yeah, definitely not budged an inch and stayed resolute to his beliefs.

(Bet you didn't see that one coming Peter )

That was quite a wow Autumn Statement and Spending Review by 'Boy' George. Then along came his opposite number straight from his Funny Farm, 'Old' McDonnell, who spoke the same nonsensical stuff as you'd expect from JC.

Phil, perhaps I didn't expect it coming, but it'd be difficult to defend a bloke with principles, if most of those principles are absurd or shortsighted.

JC is one of those leaders who's men follow him out of curiosity rather than respect, and the type who'd be out of his depth in a car park puddle!
