Most people would prefer a beer with Boris and JRM than Corbyn and McDonnel.
Labour never got that and if they replace with similar will be thrashed again in 5 years!
I agree Corbyn could only attract a small group of people and that as such he was the wrong leader. Looking in it is also clear to me that by offering everything to everyone the Labour manifesto was simply not credible. And whilst it pains me to say this I think Labour will probably make the same mistake again and lose again in five years time. ( Probably four years time, the Fixed Term Parliament Act will be abolished.)
For all his faults, give me Corbyn anytime rather than that lying, duplicitous shite Johnson any day of the week.
Morning (just) Brendan. Yep Corbyn was definitely the wrong leader. Unfortunately, his policies didn't really stack up with the voters either. They didn't seem to trust him. As he seems to want to stay on for a bit, I think he is trying to ensure that a person with the same policies follow him. Labour never seem to learn. They need a reality check. The public won't vote in an extreme left wing candidate. Foot, Kinnock and now Corbyn all sent packing, and what are we left with?
I think we need a decent centrist type of person to give the public a credible alternative. Love him or loathe him, why did Blair trounce the Tories three times? I think he was seen as decent before the Iraq weapons of mass destruction debacle.
As for having a beer with JRM or King Boris, I don't think I would like to be in the same room as one of them, never mind have a beer. I'll leave you to guess who. McDonnel I'd have a chat with, he seems decent(ish). Don't like his policies though.
