It’s funny how ‘a return to the 70s’ was the standard line against Corbyn, and now we’re speed running it any%…
At least his mental antilockdown brother in his ear might have stopped us committing quite so much economic suicide during COVID.
Mate, people didn’t like you or want to vote for you. Nothing too complicated.
I find it amusing that both Boris and Starmer bounce Corbyn’s name around as a pejorative despite both being absolute incompetent bellends who are causing more damage to this country Corbyn ever did or could
He would have gotten away with it if it wasn’t for those pesky voters!
>“I had my first speech outside Number 10 as prime minister all planned out,” Jeremy Corbyn tells me. “I was going to announce homelessness in Britain ends now, next week no-one will be sleeping rough.”
What a monster!
What an evil, wicked, selfish, malevolent man!
I am honestly surprised that people are still obsessing about this.
It’s almost like people are trying to detract from the utter uselessness of the current opposition in the face of the disaster that is the Tory government by bringing him up over and over again.
Corbyn may have or may not have been good for the country. We will never know though due to an orchestrated campaign against him from both the right, the left and foreign governments. The world has moved on, and that really should be the end of the story.
The last leader to actually represent what Labour is supposed to be. The last non-centrist non-right wing leader of Labour. Or rather the only one in the last 20 years.
I’m so glad Corbyn didn’t take this country back to the 70s!
Campaign?
You were the most uninspiring leader there was in that race, you lost to Theresa may and she has the personality of a wet fish…
Every opportunity he had to shine he ballsed it up.
Preaching 70s style policies to the voting population (majority of them remembering the 70s with little fondness) was the first mistake.
The only people that actually liked him were the far left and the commies hiding in the party.
I would love to see how hed handle the Ukraine crisis, I expect he would sell them down the drain to keep Putin happy.
Jeremy should start a new party along the lines of the socialist green alliance in France did ok for them in the last election and would be better than the “tory lite” Labour Party we’ve got now
Picking Johnson over Corbyn was such a severe lapse in judgement IDK how anyone is expected to overlook it. Why does anybody who wants to change anything for the better in this country have to be Gandhi, Churchill, and Macchiavelli all rolled into one to have a chance of getting anywhere, but the Tories could and have slapped a blue rosette on a pile of horseshit and still win?
What a country we could be living in if we were as willing to “give a chance” to imperfect reformers, as we are to give endless chances to straight up conmen who wave flags in our faces to distract us from their true intentions. I mean there’s no guarantee that the Gandhi-Churchill-Macchiavelli combo that Britain seems to expect of reformers will ever materialise at all. Is indefinite Tory rule a price worth paying for reformist perfectionism?
The one person who could have benefitted the masses and helped to redistribute wealth away from the 1%.
Of course the establishment wanted him out of the picture. *They are the 1%.*
Not a Corbyn fan anymore, but it would be interesting to hear his point of view of thing from a none bias source. Declassified is a left leaning website.
He’s doing an interview with Iain Dale at the Fringe (Starmer is 2 days later) so I hope they broadcast it on LBC or record it at least.
I said it before like Bernie Sanders he was the one that got away.
Every day the creepy bag of hair our mental electorate chose because it’s ‘funny’ drags us further down in the eyes of the world, every day Corbyn looks more like the gentle old marrow farmer he is. Oh what we could have won.
Amazing how many fake-left people there are in this thread, and indeed this country.
The usual flood of “wouldn’t it have been amazing if Corbyn had been PM!” comments, almost like it’s the “done thing” to say that, but whenever anyone points out they agree with certain left-wing aspects of his beliefs, they get book-burned…
You don’t have to take Jezza’s word for it. Theresa May openly stated “We will never let you rule” in regards to a Corbyn led Labour government, and US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, said he would actively stop Corbyn becoming Prime Minister.
I mean he triggered every trap ever laid for him. If there was something the tories wanted him to do he was easily baited.
His handling of Brexit was a god damned joke too.
As a socialist and a big Corbyn fan, I’m kinda glad he lost. From a political perspective that is.
Imagine if he had to deal with covid. Imagine if the scary communist man tried to implement lockdowns, mandate vaccines etc. Imagine the headlines in the DM if even 1% of Johnson’s death toll was reached. I wouldn’t even rule out a coup, tbh.
Corbyn’s loss was a setback for the left. Him having to deal with the pandemic would’ve been its death knell for a generation.
I really don’t understand why people build Corbyn up into some mythical saviour, the man was a delusional fool.
He wanted us out of the EU, out of NATO, out of the UN and to disarm. I don’t doubt he had a will to improve life for working Britons, but when most of your opinions aren’t grounded in reality, that makes you poor leadership material.
Privately educated career politician isn’t part of the establishment?
Interesting…some of the top voted comments are from new accounts, that are pro-Russian imperialism.
What have the mods let this sub get to?
Yada yada, two election defeats stopped you becoming PM as you didn’t have a clue on how to run the country – and everyone but the crazy left could see it.
Well this is a fun comment section. HAZMAT suits on folks…
I still remember during the 2019 general election when Laura Kuenssberg(chief political editor of BBC news) played a huge part in the character assassination of Jeremy Corbyn. I remember when it was leaked that the Tories were actively in trade talks with America about selling off the NHS to them, Corbyn even had the papers proving this… Yet during an interview that day the very first question Kuenssberg asked him was “why do you hate Jewish people”, and she said it in such an aggressive, accusatory, matter of fact way as if it was already true. Funnily enough she never got round to the Tories wanting to sell off the NHS, it was all character assassination of Jeremy Corbyn related questions. Compare that to the treatment she gave Boris… It’s night and day.
And that’s just one example, another one was when during the 2019 election or was it the 2017 election…either way I clearly remember when the BBC’s chief political editor/correspondent…Laura Kuennsberg deliberately edited & doctored an interview she did with Jeremy Corbyn to make it look like he was saying things he never actually said… Laura Kuennsberg faced no consequences for creating actual fake news and purposefully misleading the public, misleading the nation, it was during a general election too. The BBC have never apologised for this either for this literal actual fake news, and again Laura Kuennsberg faced zero consequences either, nothing happened after..i cannot stress this enough: The deliberate mission to lie too and mislead the public, she carried on even more with the character assassination.
All this just goes to show how absolutely terrified of Corbyn the elites and the political establishment were…So much so that they carried out the largest, most extensive and most widespread fake news/character assassination/smear campaign in the Western world to date. Corbyn is bang on correct here.
Corbyn was the first and only person the spoke to me politically and got me excited about politics and being a Labour supporter. My passion for supporting Labour died when he got well and truly screwed over by his own party. The whole political scene is a sesspool of vile people all doing underhanded deals, serving themselves and back slapping each other. Of course the establishment wouldn’t let him. His policies served everyday working people and were the stuff of nightmares for the elites. The way he was treated by his own parry though is an absolute disgrace and I will never vote for Labour again.
With a good 40% of UK voters being brainwashed bigots that happily betray their own in exchange for temporary financial reward, he never had a chance.
This whole thread is bizarre.
Half the thread seem somehow in denial about the establishment’s anti-Corbyn campaign. Did you read any newspapers when Corbyn was LOTO? The entire media landscape and most of his own party set out to sabotage him at every turn, and this had an *obvious* effect on voters. It was not a fair fight.
The other half of the thread seem to think the media/establishment mainly to blame for Corbyn’s loss… as if Brexit didn’t exist. Corbyn was a terrible candidate to fight a Brexit election, and by 2019 all of politics was dominated by Brexit.
I wish he’d won, if he’d been allowed to get his policies in place the country would be in a much better place
