Someone has been out and bought him a dark blue suit and a non polycotton white shirt.

It's a religious thing.

Saw him outside Radio 2 in the week in a media scrum. His 'handlers' were well on top of him.
Got the distinct feeling that they didn't trust him not to say or do anything (even more) stupid.
He was signing autographs, but when somebody asked a question (didn't hear what) they immediately pulled him aside, said that he wasn't there to answer
their questions and he was bundled into the car and away.

I have seen many many politicians and PMs over the years - but I've never seen such obvious media protection.
All others have either answered or ignored reporters. Even saint Tony was trusted to walk to the car on his own....

Nick Robinson on R4 this morning says Stella Creasy had protestors outside her house, as well as the more familiar Twitter abuse.

Reading about the Stop the War Coalition and it's aims we're bumping into student agit-prop stuff again, but now they feel they've got their man at the table with the big boys so, obviously, their voice must be heard.

Brother Corbyn does seem to attract/encourage a lot of this type of aggro. How is it a new kind of (non personal) politics?

The bottom line is that Corbyn, regardless of whether he is a 'decent man', has gone from having little influence to having lots of influence and that's when being an idealist, which he undoubtedly is, creates problems

He has gone from being a preacher saying lots of things that make great soundbites to actually being in a position to influence policy and suddenly, he has to be practical. That is at the route of all his problems because he has never had to be commercial or practical before. With every month that passes those issues will become more and more prevalent until his position becomes untenable

That would be the tolerant Left at work.

It is repugnantly anti-democratic and uncivilised, but TBF Corbyn has already spoken out on the matter and denounced the trolls and bullies: http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/dec/02/ai...

Particularly enjoyed the twitter trolling of 'yellow' 'warmonger' Dan Jarvis.

If you're going to attempt the 'I bet you wouldn't go out there and fight, would you? Huh?' approach, aiming it at a decorated special forces veteran kinda makes you look like a fking idiot.

Quite, it shows the imbecilic level these individuals are playing on.

and there in one sentence you have summed up the twitter lynch-mob mentality

[johnxjsc1985]

Corbyn is a wacko he has opinions and views that would have been relevant in the 60's as long as you were stoned out of your mind and he has given a voice to all the loony lefties.
The longer he hangs around the more the Labour party will be damaged it is in tatters at the moment and he isn't about to bring it back to being an effective opposition any time soon

I love it when the Twitter-Tits think they are a massive group of people, a few thousand people across the country (many with multiple accounts) pulling their own pubs, more popcorn whilst I watch these idiots self abuse please.

There are two distinct anti-Corbyn strategies being touted at the moment. The first is to make doing the job so difficult for him that he resigns. But there are no signs that Corbyn intends to walk away. Ever since party conference, he has been rather enjoying himself.

The other strategy is more high-risk. It is to force him out now and gamble that the party rulebook wouldn’t allow Corbyn to stand again unless he got the nominations of 35 MPs, which he would struggle to do. If this heist could be pulled off, the grassroots would scream blue murder. The leader they overwhelmingly elected would have been forced out in a parliamentary coup. But the advocates of this strategy say that there could be no alternative, because by the next conference the leadership will have fixed the rules so that Corbyn is automatically on the ballot and, with grassroots opinion the way it is, he would defeat any challenger.

Hopefully she won't commit suicide. Like that Tory that the other Tories bullied.

And they call the Tories 'The Nasty Party'. Labour grass roots showing their true colours recently, and it is not at all pretty.

How their tactics aren't deemed illegal is puzzling!

I don't think Corbyns twitter mob/stop the war mob (who IMO largely make up the 200k new members who paid there £3) represent grass roots Labour. And they certainly don't represent the vast majority of the 6m people who voted Labour. The equivalent would be the Conservatives making the same idiotic membership rule changes and 50k BNP voters/agitators taking over the Party then someone saying "well that's what the tories are really like". You only have to listen to the comments being made by Labour voters on the doorsteps of Oldham to realise that.

[Mr_B]

After Benn's speech and weeks of gaffs from McDonnell and Corbyn, plus a probably weak hold of tonight's by-election, I think move will be made next week to ensure he is ditched and Labour still have a good 4 years to stand at least some hope in 2020.

A poll of labour voters would indeed, very interesting to look at,
