Looking through today's papers the Labour leader seems to be guilty of everything. Next headline could read "More bodies found under Corbyn's patio".

I realised that Jezza knew bugger all about economics but have only recently found out that his ignorance extends to meteorology! Even here he manages to blame the USA and the RAF:-

Rather rash of the RAF to do the same to Boscastle on the same day of the same month - bit of a give away?!

Surprised they have enough aircraft?

Courtesy of the Times.
More than 17,000 Labour members have quit the party in the past three months as disputes over antisemitism and Russia erode Jeremy Corbyn’s support base. The Times understands that internal membership figures show the party has lost about 3 per cent of its paying supporters since the start of the year. Last week hundreds of members resigned from the party and more than 3,000 did not renew their direct debits, insiders said. Mr Corbyn shut down his personal Facebook page yesterday after he was accused of belonging to groups in which people had posted anti-Jewish content. It was his use of the account to criticise the removal of an antisemitic mural that caused the latest row in the party.
Labour sources suggested that the closure of the account had been planned for weeks. They denied it was linked to a Sunday Times report, published yesterday, that uncovered more than 2,000 racist and abusive comments on pro-Corbyn Facebook groups. Senior Labour figures said there were signs that the row was taking its toll on the party’s record high membership level. After the general election last year membership grew to record levels of about 570,000, up from 530,000 before the campaign. But the latest figures suggest many of these gains have been wiped out, with the decline coinciding with Mr Corbyn’s failure to blame Russia for the chemical weapons attack in Salisbury and his handling of the antisemitism allegations. The drop is understood to have caused alarm at the highest levels in the party, who fear it has damaged the Labour leader’s appeal, particularly among younger voters.
The most recent figures show that not a single English region has reported a rise in membership since the start of the year. London has now lost more than 3,500 members and a further 2,000 have gone from the northwest. One source said: “The figures are pretty telling. What’s clear is that it is damaging Jeremy and his brand, at least among some sections of the party. The fear is that unless they get on top of this, the trend will continue.”

He doesn't seem able to keep away from controversy at the moment and needs to think carefully about the consequences of any action he takes.

Does anyone on here seriously think Jeremy Corbyn is a suitable candidate to be a future Prime Minister in charge of this country?
The thought of him in charge really scares me, I am not referring to the Labour party simply him as a future PM.

Poor old JC, he's been badly advised. He really should have gone to Mossad: they would have given him a list of 'acceptable' groups.

In what way do you feel threatened by an environmentally aware, peace-seeking, people-focused, society-embracing man? Shouldn't you be more skeptical of the propaganda that the multi-billionaire, non-dom press machine are spouting again him and Labour?
