In my view the poor old fool's goose is cooked big time. He'll be gone by spring.
Unfortunately I think his time is running out. Although I read the other day his preferred successor was Angela Rayner, so maybe all is not lost. Rebecca Long Bailey regularly mooted now, as well as slimy Clive Lewis.
Plenty life in the Labour saga yet.

Just to say I have been asked by the Mods, following a certain somewhat ribald contribution, to drop out of the Diane Abbott thread, and I am happy to comply. So I'll be having a rest from poking fun at the Member for Hackney and will revert to my usual acerbic contributions on the heroic yet futile travails of the Labour leader. Apologies if anyone thought I'd overstepped the mark.
Tbh whilst that thread is pretty funny, it's the kind of thing that gets to a point and then should probably be deleted, left to die, So, back to JC, what is the plan, I guess it will be the bye elections next, see if he can survive the absolute pasting they are about to get.

Where's jaw nee when you need him. What does he think of his messiah now? Lol
I believe the correct Westminster vernacular is that he's busy reading himself into his new brief?Google were really keen to find new ways to challenge their natural language machine learning capabilities, so they popped down the road from Kings Cross to chez Jezza and showed him what they could do when asked "who is the next best candidate for my front bench"?
Apparently the first choice was Tony Bennett, because it sounds a bit like Tony Benn, and he did sing I LEFT my heart in San Francisco, but the Labour image team were concerned he'd make Jeremy look too old and haggard in comparison.
They said that it couldn't be done. But after a Herculean effort, he's finally managed it. Every age group. Every region. Every social class. Men and women. Corbyn is even net unfavourable amongst Labour voters.
Directly after his re-election his approval rating stood at minus 28. Today it's minus 40. Drink it in people, we won't see his like again.

On the one hand I hope he stays on and keeps Labour out of power for as long as possible, on the other it's terrifying to think he's a flunked Brexit negotiation and messy recession away from number 10. I'm not sure the former is worth risking the latter.
This is a genuine concern of mine, too.It's not even Corbyn that scares me, it's his entourage. John McDonnell and Diane Abbott absolutely horrify me. I look back at the glorious history of this mighty country then look at the Front Bench of the current opposition and think *Has it really come to this?*
