mjw Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Yes. I remember watching daily politics the day nominations closed. It was literally the last minute when he got enough. They said they wanted to open the debate it just turned out the pesky voters wouldn't play the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin_Nevis Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 I doubt Corbyn will last long enough to seriously annoy Cameron at PMQs tbh. If you think of the worst possibly way for the party to react to Corbyn's leadership, then that's exactly what will happen. Barring a miracle, they're going to be unelectable for the next 20 years.

Depends how the English voters take to Gideon or Boris as their leader in 3-4 years time, and by that point Corbyn might not be Labour leader.

John Lambies Doos Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 The last Labour leader with a beard: Keir Hardie, Labour leader 1906-1908. I think we need to get to grips here. Corbyn is no Hardie. He has spotted a gap in the market and gone for it. Elected, he will move back right. He is no friend of Scotland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out a long, long time ago. http://www.bailiwickexpress.com/jsy/life/gold/when-was-last-time-bearded-man-led-major-political-party-britain/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanburn Dave Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Corbyn v 3 weak centre right candidates who differ only in haircuts and dress sense is the truth of the matter. He dared to be different and be himself and he is striking a chord with a lot of labour supporters disillusioned with spin and empty words.

Deanburn Dave Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 The candidates should be told at the same time as the party conference. Would be hilarious looking at their faces as the winners name comes out a golden envelope like the Oscars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, scotland voted no to full independence last year but what cant be denied is that its moving towards it..... and certainly what cant be denied is that the majority of Scottish people want a much greater devolution settlement. Corbyn says he supports neither. He is no friend of Scotland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 It's always that way, same with General Election results. Gives them time to practise their Oscar-loser fake "I'm really pleased for the winner" faces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 If Corbyn is playing as left wing cause he's spotted a gap in the market then he's been spending an incredible amount of time practicing at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 That's unreal. The turkeys in the party believe they've just voted for Christmas. Apparently Tristram Hunt is pacing about the hall looking genuinely devastated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyerTon Posted September 12, 2015 Author Share Posted September 12, 2015 I wonder if Jezza is looking forward to his pay rise? £74,000 basic MP pay plus £73,617 Labour leader salary. £147,617. Take home per month about £7,400 compared to about £4,200 take home per month for the £74,000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
