  1. Great so literal tories are allowed but democratic socialists aren’t .

    If corbyn with his terrible foreign policy is banned anyone who stood with pound crasher truss should be banned too

  2. The hatred against Corbyn is bizarre to me. The tories have made it their personality.

  3. Anyone else remember when generals in the British army threatened a coup if Corbyn was elected?

  4. Says a woman who’s not fit to speak his name in vain.

  5. If jezza makes his own party or joins another I’ll vote for it

  6. The Labour party has been hijacked by the right. Jeremy Corbyn has been a Labour MP since people like Rachel Reeves were still in nappies.

  7. Labour is barely a left leaning party so I’d say she is correct. A shame we dont have a party with any integrity he might actually fit in.

  9. I don’t see why some people are so desperate to cling onto Corbyn. He has some good policies, but he also has some terrible ones, namely foreign policies. He also lost.

    Why can’t we find new talent that supports his good policies, and who would actually win?

    Sick of the same old names like Corbyn, Farage and Boris being suggested as “saviours”, amongst all political spectrums.

  10. Considering Rachel Reeves called for harsher austerity and deeper cuts during the Ed Milliband days, I don’t think she’s fit to be a Labour candidate. Pot, kettle situation right there.

    Also doesn’t help she has the aura of piss poor office middle management.

  11. Starmer has only got to where he is by people ignoring VAR if you’re using that analogy

  12. Right-wing ex-Tories are more than welcome though! What a shower these people are.

  13. I generally think our political system is completely fucked and needs a massive overhaul – to what? I don’t know but it’s just cabbaged

  14. Corbyn is a useless twat and always has been. In 30 years he’s done nothing. No private members bills, no membership of a comittee no speeches of note. He was a puppet for Seumas Milne.

    Literally nothing!

    Listened to an interview with Neil kinnock. When asked about Corbyn he described him as “someone who made up his mind in the 70s and never changed “. Even Foot & Smith essentially totally ignored Corbyn because they considered him such a useless twat.

    Imagine THIRTY years spouting bullshit in the street yet he NEVER brought about a bill. Not on apartheid, not on Gaza, not on poverty or trying to improve anything for his constituency. Not even a good speech…not on Iraq..with John Denham & Robin Cook making the most speeches at the time.

    Just fucking useless.

  15. I agree. He’s too decent a man for that right wing shitshow of a party. Hope he wipes the floor with them in Islington North.

  16. The biggest failure of the left in Britain over the past 4 years has been their inability to move on from Jeremy Corbyn.

    They’re still fighting the 2019 election in their heads and claiming how unfair it is that poor Jeremy has been treated that way. Just like many people of Corbyn’s generation seem to have been fighting the 1983 election for over 40 years. Reorganise and move on.

  17. Keir Starmer’s closest adviser (i.e. puppet master) was a confidant of a convicted sex trafficker/pedophile – Corbyn is better off running as an independent without being tainted by this rancid, corrupt, cesspit of a party

  18. It’s supposed to be a broad church. If Blair’s Labour could include Corbyn but Starmer’s Labour cannot I can only conclude the party has gone backwards.

  19. Well he’s not a Tory who supported their sexually abusive partner, so yes, I suppose she’s correct.

  20. The whole Labour Party is not fit or sustainable enough to be able to stand for anything

  21. I saw him in Finsbury park the other day, just standing on a street corner on his Tod taking a call. Couldn’t believe it.

  22. All of you lot on here calling Corbyn repulsive have forgotten a few facts.

    Under him the Labour Party grew to record numbers and was fully funded by unions and members not by crony donors like it is now. It paid off all its debts and amassed a massive fighting fund. Under him the Labour Party wiped out the Tony majority in 2017 despite the entire media machine AND the Blairite Labour Party working against him. Corbyn has been re elected as an MP TEN TIMES. Whenever he spoke (I’ve seen him speak 3 times) he had rapturous receptions from the crowds in packed halls all around the country.

    2019 was the Brexit election which Labour lost by calling for a second referendum which resulted in the loss of 51 brexit voting Labour seats.

    The fact that he has been ostracised by Starmer’s Labour Party while he welcomes Tories like Elphicke has lost my vote and many others.

    I just wish Corbyn would start his own socialist party. I think you’d see how unpopular he is then.

  23. Racists, transphobes and Tories are welcome though. 

  24. I was totally against Corbyn and everything he stood for in the last election

    He has been proved to be right as I have been proved to be wrong

    He should never have been deselected

  25. Lmao! Quite the achievement to still be a shitter option than the Tories 🤣

  26. Corbyn is the reason the tories are in now. He was, and always will be, totally unelectable.
