The parliamentary party is against him. Former Labour leaders are against him. The press is against him. Political commentators are against him. The vast majority of the public are against him. Even most Labour voters are against him.The reason Ed Miliband couldn't win is because he was a bit shit. Ok, not Corbyn levels of shit, but still pretty terrible.
It's also one of the reasons he will never ever actually get to put any policy in place... I guess you think labour would have been better with 2 Jags in charge instead of Blair and allowed major to carry on instead... I mean I'm sure he would have implemented tax credits etc?
I apologise if I'm interrupting a private conversation you were having with Untied but... I believe the membership understands the problem. The MPs need to take that on board.
It feels to me like if you actually go out and speak to people, the overwhelming opinion is positive towards Corbyn, these political analysts who trawl through polls and internet articles are the ones who get the impression he's unpopular.Depends if you want a realistic chance of winning an election or not. Has anyone ever won with the press unanimously against them? I mean, no one has won an election without the backing of The Sun since 1974, and that's just one paper.
There was a poll carried out a while back where people weren't against him; quite the opposite, in fact. Oh wait! No, it wasn't a poll; it was a leadership election.
It must be a grand conspiracy! Or he's just shit.
You must be speaking to a very narrow selection of the public. Go speak to some pensioners. Or some small business owners. Or some nationalists in Scotland or Wales.
I think that's more Owen Smith's style. Probably struggle to get more than a couple of hundred to turn up too.
They seem to be pretty active on the issue of workers' rights and exploitative employment practices too. And there's been a lot of articles about the rise in hate crimes. And they obviously did a lot on the Panama Papers and tax avoidance.
And even then they're not doing feminism any favours - I read a Guardian article titled 'Is Kim K more important than Simone de Beauvoir?' and I literally turned into Sid the Sexist. Well, maybe not literally, but the point holds.
Yep, it's pure ignorance - it's obvious that she's more important than the singer from Duran Duran.
Maybe, just maybe, that's changing. Social media is rising. I haven't bought a newspaper for years.
They've basically pulled us out of the EU singlehandedly with their crazy 'reporting' of Brussels over the years. It was a fringe, slightly looney, idea to leave the EU, until the right-wing press basically ran a never-ending campaign against the EU for the past decade or so.
The majority of visitors are American. And that's for the celebrity gossip.
The Guardian is independent, yeah. They've chosen their Red Tory Anti-Corbyn narrative all on their own.
I am shocked.
What's this taken from?I have to say I'm disappointed in the Guardian. Worse, the BBC! That's an institution, or corporation, that I have praised glowingly many, many times. They do such a fantastic job, on the whole. Their treatment of Corbyn shows they're slipping, and slipping badly. I would certainly expect them to report more accurately and fairly than they did.
