Corbyn just gave one of, if not 'THE', worst budget response given by any leader of the opposition since the very beginning of time itself.

This guy is a total fking idiot.

His mate is on SKY News now whatever planet they came from it has in fact proven that there is no intelligent life out there. Would someone anyone give them a Diary so they can see this is 2016 not 1976.

Fixed that for you. Dont worry comrades, its all part of his glorious plan to rid the party of Lefty tories and make his party pure of thought and deed. Only after this has happened can he truly lead his party. So dont expect an election much before 2020.

Huw edwards kindly gave him some slack beforehand, reminding us how hard it is to respond like this and we shouldnt expect too much. But I expect the first teachers strike sometime when the weather turns nice. May, maybe??

Anyhow, Forward together unto national socialism, comrades!!

Huw Redwards...never misses an opportunity to have a dig at the Tories, does Huw.

That's when he's not constantly looking at his desk, or the floor like he was on college green this afternoon.

Always happens in the first year or two of government. The party in power does most of their unpopular changes. Then 18 months before an election, start being nice again.

OK let's assume for a moment that this poll isn't wildly inaccurate.

One would assume that the demographic that Corbyn has drawn to Labour is young, idealistic, and massively less likely to get its arse off the sofa on polling day than your stereotypical core Tory voter. Is that fair?

If this is the poll result of 'the corbyn effect" then definitely wrong - they are likely to vote in a big way.

My personal opinion is that the polls can't cope with what is going on and I will "bare my arse in the CoOp window" if Jeremy Corbyn becomes PM.

He has no policies
He offers not one single alternative to what he would cut instead
He offers questions so narrow and out of touch with the U.K. Population it's bizarre.
PMQ is supposedly the time when the opposition can nail the PM - he never does ever instead reads emails.

And yet there is a poll in which he is neck and neck.

Imagine what would happen if he got good after 3 years' practice.

This is my point. My theory is that the kind of dewy eyed left wing student that has rallied to Corbyn will support him all day on social media, then forget to go and vote because they overslept, or some such.

Young people are rubbish at voting, old people are great at it. So basing a election strategy on their votes is high risk, to say the least.

Dewy eyed left wing students vote - particularly the type who have joined mainstream politics to support JC.

It's worse (or better) than that, they'll neglect to ensure they are on the electoral register and, effectively, disenfranchise themselves.

No mention of sample size, confidence intervals....
And a phone poll, so presumably landlines? Is it really representative? I suspect not.

Where do you get these jobs with 3+ years probation period?

Leader of any major political party.
Away with the fairies until the votes are counted.
