No, me either.
Wonder what numbers Mcdonnell is going to do? Open up with Back In The USSR perhaps? Encore might be the Ivor Biggun classic?

None of the present Tory politicians will touch it - nothing in it for them. The most incompetent, selfish, self-serving bunch of politicians in living memory.
Yet I would have ANY of them over anything the Labour party can put forward.......choices choices
I would have said swap "Tory" for "Labour" and the statement still reads true
why, then, would you support either? Tribalism?
Because one would at least keep the economy stable. Including financial markets and property markets. The other would out us into a depression
I should say the Tories have de-stabilised the UK massively by pursuing short term, party goals, and could yet preside over the break up of the UK into just Eng & Wales.
Where is the problem with that. Getting rid of Scotland would save the English tax payer a few quid.

Corbin is actually quite dangerous. Blair knew he was merely a smoke & mirrors charlatan & successfully got out whilst the going was good, dumping his toxic baggage on that chump Broon.

Corbin however has developed a messiah complex. He actually believes the worshipful effluent pouring out from the feckless, bitter & myopic drones that obsess about him daily.

He's been successful in turning water into whine, judging by the likes of Owen "I was always Jezzas biggest fan" Jones.

And most of his policies are built on sand.

We've been here before though. The national sheep herding that occurred after the death of Lady Di was similar to the sudden, illogical outbreak of support for the substance-free con man.

If this continues after the summer, we'll all be flocked.

There are so many self important proponents here that it's quite hard to work out who is generating original ideas and who is parroting the PH party-line.

None of you seem capable of accepting that society is moving away from acceptance of contemporary capitalist politics. Globalism has raised various challenges to capitalism that it doesn't have answers to - in response people are looking to Marxist and more broadly to socialist ideology afresh.

The next UK government needs to be progressive, socialist, and motivated to improve the opportunities available to young people. Nothing else matters.

Young people probably have more "opportunities" than any other generation previously.

Universities are pretty much open to all. Setting up a business is a doddle. You can market yourself or you business easily via the internet. You can create stuff and send it around the globe for all to see in an instant. You have pretty much the sum of all human knowledge at your fingertips. You have access to 24/7 instant communication. Traditional barriers to success like class, gender, race, age etc have been massively eroded. International travel is much easier and cheaper.

What some young people seem to lack is the will to capitalise on the opportunities afforded to them.

The problem with that is the sticky point that socialism doesn't work, has never worked and will never work. Yes there are challenges ahead, but turning the UK back to a politics that always fails isn't the answer, we need fresher more honest thinking than that.

I would suggest that the bigger problem too is an aging population.

Fess up, who got chucked out of the QT audience last night, for pissing themselves over Theresa May. As much as I dislike Geena Miller, she told this chap, Labour didn't win, the Conservatives did.

Corbyn overtakes May in new poll


Jeremy Corbyn has overtaken Theresa May for the first time on the question of who voters think would make the best prime minister, a poll suggests, PA reports.


The YouGov/Times poll showed the Labour leader on 35%, ahead of the Prime Minister on 34%. Nearly a third (30%) said they were unsure.


This is only going one way. smile

IIRC this was the only pollster to predict a hung parliament.

And that's from a paper with a 58% Conservative readership.

1 year is a long time in politics-imagine what will happen in 5. Shame you can't rerun the election every week to pick the right result. Labour lost. What I find interesting, is even I admit TM was double rubbish, terrible, st yet she still won more seats and more votes. That's the best Labour can do against an insipid opposition. But throw that party!

It is clearly the way forward. Venezuela is a shining example of what can be achieved.

No, wait...

Socialism has always failed its population. It is has proven to be a damaged and damaging system of government. It sounds appealing, caring and moral. However, it doesn't work.

That is not to say that our current system is perfect. But a little like democracy, it is the "worst system apart from all the others".

So after all the st that's gone down about Theresa May in the last couple of weeks Corbyn finds himself a lead of 1% in the polls. Nothing to boast about especially as we're 5 years away from another election and be surprised if the Tories have another few weeks like they've just had. I'm afraid if he can't be more popular than 1% now he is consigned to always be the runner-up as long as he is leader.
