I don't see him becoming PM unless a few things go his way.
a) The Tories messing up the Brexit negotiations causing loss of jobs.
b) The above fighting the next Election like the last one.
c) The remnants of the Lib Dems, SNP and Plaid Cymru joining a coalition with Labour.

Button.
Maybe I should have used the word worries rather than scares with reference to Corbyn in my previous post.
Luckily I think I have the ability to see past the waffle our media choose to dish out regardless of who they are, a bit like the biased comments on this group.

#727 Are you aware that you addressed Button despite the quoted text actually confirming that the post you were responding to was mine?!
Funny what expectations and biases would have you believe without reading things with a critical/objective mindset isn't it.

We live in strange times! Saudi Arabia is more pro-Israel than the Labour Party! Though not Jewish myself (as Charlie Chaplain said 'I do not have that privilege') I shall be wearing my 'This is what a Zionist looks like' badge tomorrow to continue to show support to the closest thing there is to a democracy in the Middle East. If only our Border Force was as good at stopping terrorists entering the country.

No problemo here - Mr Sansum also gets the two of us confused and even I need coping strategies at times!

I'd have to concede that Mr Corbyn is in FACT on the wrong side of history every time...using the Henry Ford maxim of "History is bunk."
His misreading of crisis situations sends a Chilcott through my spine.

I feel sorry for Jezza, basically, a good man stuck in the Islington bubble far removed from the British working class disenfranchised, he needs to get the votes needed to put labour into number ten.

The thing we need to remember is that if Jezza were to win an election, the civil service takes over and Momentum will be left at the door. I, for one, am completely reassured by that.

Will the cretin Corbyn give the same response to Syria's latest chemical attack as he did the Skripals poisoning, or does that not fit his political agenda?

Panic in the establishment ranks Brian, expect the next headline to be something like "Jezza eats babies".

Say the right thing for once, the things the public want and need to hear from a party leader and possible future PM.

#735 Intriguing how you link use of genocidal weapons in Syria with attempted murder on UK soil by person or persons unknown. And why use the term "cretin"? Perhaps you consider yourself an expert on mental health categories and know something the rest of us don't. Or maybe it just fits with your ideological predispositions. Either way, it doesn't say much about your own intelligence, does it?

It would appear that Jezza is not the only one with 'conviction'! Written by Ronan Bennett I note! Who he?
In 1974, when he was 18, Bennett was convicted of murdering Inspector William Elliott, a 49-year-old police officer in the Royal Ulster Constabulary, during an Official IRA robbery at the Ulster Bank in The Diamond shopping area in Rathcoole, close to his home in Merville Garden Village, on 6 September 1974. His conviction was declared unsafe in 1975 and he was released from Long Kesh prison.
Bennett moved to London, where in 1978 he was arrested for conspiracy to cause explosions and spent 16 months in prison on remand. Bennett conducted his own defence, and he and his co-defendants were acquitted in 1979. He studied history at King's College London, receiving a first class honours degree, and later completed his PhD at the college in 1987. That same year he was hired as a researcher by Jeremy Corbyn MP, later Leader of the Labour Party, in a move that provoked controversy and security concerns.
Nice man ........

1. The link is we don't have exacting evidence in the PUBLIC domain as to who carried out either.
2. Cretin as in a bit of an idiot(opinion), not thyroid inbalance causing learning difficulties.
3. I do consider myself a bit of an expert having worked in the field for many years.
4. I have no ideological dispositions, I would just like to see a strong opposition to hold this government to account. Labour currently are unable to do that.
5. Either way it says nothing about my own intelligence but you already know that, you just wanted to add a personal insult.
