Nicely done, Jeremy. Nicely done. The Labour leader was speaking at an evening event to launch his policy on equal rights for women, which was followed by a drinks party.

Assuming that Corbyn wins the Labour leadership election by a landslide (as seems likely), and assuming that he will continue as leader even in the event of a general election defeat (which also looks likely), it seems to me that there is only one remaining option to get rid of him, and that is for him to lose his seat in the 2020 election.
I believe he represents Islington North. According to the BBC website he got 60% of the vote last time, with the Conservatives coming second on 17%.
So a serious question - given the demographics of the constituency, and given his polarisation of the Labour vote, what are the chances of Corbyn losing his seat in 2020?

This guy is superb. He's single handedly ensuring that I never have to worry about Labour getting into power again in my lifetime.
I don't get the same warm, comforting feeling from having the guy as Leader of the Opposition.According to the latest opinion polls 27% would still vote Labour despite his shambolic leadership. Even after amending the constituency boundaries to remove Labour's current advantage, Corbyn only needs a 7.7% swing from Tory to Labour to ensure he is leader of the largest party in the next Parliament.
7.7% is 1 in 13 people.

And people want this to be the guy who speaks on our behalf at the EU, UN, G8 etc? The guy who can't make a simple, well meaning but ridiculous policy announcement without alienating virtually everybody concerned?
Do they put something in the water in Labour strongholds? Smack?

Short of him turning up to Parliament wearing his partners decapitated head as a hat I think he's pretty safe tbh.I believe he represents Islington North. According to the BBC website he got 60% of the vote last time, with the Conservatives coming second on 17%.
