Got to love this deluded guy...... Apparently Greek debt is nothing to do with them?
I like to keep things simple....if you spend out more than you get in then you end up in debt!
It's like obesity....you eat more calories than you burn off...you get fat! |

He seems clearer in his ideas, more so than the others, and I respect that.
I don't think those ideas are electable to government though, he's Michael Foot for a new generation. |

Well I like him, I think he has done many great things in his career.
Let's not forget that he was quite young when he started out in the public eye
And apparently he has been through some tough times in his life with depression and stuff
He's a brilliant writer, and I like his thinking that shines through in what ever he writes
He was best as smiffy though I love Gavin and Stacy  |

I'm mostly a fan, though not sure what the Labour party needs right now. He's in favour of homeopathy, which is a point against him to me though. I wouldn't hold it against him, unless it meant diverting NHS cash away from life saving treatments. |

"There seems to be a lot of non-Labour voters very concerned that we don't choose Corbyn.
Not running scared, are they?"
went to one of the hustings last week as a lapsed labour voter... as much as i like corbyn, i was listening to him and they he spoke the less likely i would be to come "back to the fold"....
he is to the labour party what the likes of donald trump is to the republicans in the states... the grass roots might like him, but he is so are from the centre of the party that in the general public he would be unelectable!
i wasn't impressed by liz kendal at all... and yvette was nice but didn't really do it for me...
burnham actually comes across a lot better in person than he does on TV, got to have a chat with him afterward and he is a really personable person..... |

He has some interesting ideas. But being pragmatic lots of genuinely good socialist ideas are unworkable in practice.
I have an inheirant dislike of Andy Burnham. Watched him debate and his answers were typical evasive politician. |

I got the impression that is a ruse, that actually the Tories think he is unelectable and want him to be Labour leader!
As for homeopathy, well, our current Health Secretary thinks homeopathy works, and that's way down the list of reasons why I think he's a massive prick... |

I imagine the celebrations at Tory HQ would be quite substantial should he be chosen as leader. Welcome to 5 more years in the electoral wilderness. |

Far from it. I would love to see Corbyn get the job. It should keep Labour out of power for a decade or two so bring him on.   |

If he is elected i believe it will probably be due to union influence. If this happens Labour won't have learned the lesson from their last union backed leader. And the Tories will have a much easier job winning the next election. |

I'd say he's more like Ron Paul than Donald Trump...
Neither are fit for mass consumption - perhaps there time will come sometime in the future...for now most of us are sat on a political fence, gently swaying from side to side. |

The next election can't be for 5 years anyway so that's no hardship. |

To be honest. Which of the four candidates could win an election?
The Tory's will tear Burnham up for arse paper on his NHS record and his association with the Brown government. Cooper is married to Balls, enough said. Corbyn would make Foot look electable, and I can't even remember the name of the other one so again, enough said.
Remember that only three Labour leaders have won general elections since the end of WW2 and I really can't see number four coming out of this lot. |

He made a fool of himself on question time the other day. He was implying ISIS uses British made weapons obtained via Saudi Arabia. So many things wrong with that conspiracy theory! We sell advanced fighter jets to Saudi, Saudi hate ISIS more than we do and have been far more successful ridding their country of radicalisation than we have, finally British small arms could never compete on price with Iranian or Soviet ones!
Jeremy wants to talk about where ISIS came from... it comes from do-good idiots taking the 4th largest army in the world and making them all redundant. Overnight. What the flip did they think all those trained soldiers were going to do, re-train as sociology teachers? |

This would be the same Jeremy Corbyn that calls Hamas and Hezbollah his friends and invited them to speak in parliament?
The same Jeremy Corbyn who invited Sinn Fein to the houses of parliament when they were still regarded as a terrorist group?
The same Jeremy Corbyn who is opposed to military action against ISIS?
The same Jeremy Corbyn who is hosting a visit by Moussa Abu Maria, activist for terror organisation Palestinian Islamic Jihad. The same Moussa Abu Maria who is speaking at an international lobby held by the Palestinian Solidarity Campaign, a group dedicated to the destruction of Israel?
The same Jeremy Corbyn who is backed by militant unions like Unite and the RMT?
He sounds like a fine fellow....
No wonder the tories are elated.
