Just copying "Tarzan" from so many years ago.

It's brilliant, it's basically an Alan Partridge moment, love how it's an old dear that stops him

Multi-million pound house? Have you seen it? It's not worth a single million let alone multiples. Hypocrite he is, but let's not exaggerate.

I thought it was "worth" (not to me) about £1m?

Didn't his neighbour have theirs on at change under a million a few years ago - I'd imagine it would be worth substantially more if the scruffy bugger was moving out of the street. Double is probably pushing it though.

It probably is, however, that is down to its location and nothing else. It is nothing more than a modest mid-terrace house that would be worth less than a fifth of that in a typical provincial town. Also, London house prices have rocketed in recent years and I doubt he paid anything like what it is now valued as when he bought it.

There are many things to criticise Corbyn for, but his house isn't one of them (apart from the scruffy garden).

He paid around £325,000 in 2010ish and it's now worth about £950,000.

Of course, as a Marxist, all property is theft, so he will give any profit to the local food bank.

Even though we are a democracy the british population still think you can only trust someone that lives in a gold plated palace.
Thats how idiots like trump get elected.

I'm always left with the impression that Corbyn doesn't really want the top job - the idea of being PM seems tempting to him as a chance to try some ideas out, but his comfort zone is being the opposing voice. We know what he stands against but it gets vague when it comes to exactly he stands for.

His entire career has been on the opposite side of any argument he can find and that's the one place he can't be if he ever became PM.

Superbly worded! That's him in a nutshell!

Corbyn was terrible at PMQs today. Considering Teresa May's current predicament he should be genial and confident, smiling and making mirth, but he looks and sounds like he is the one fighting for his political career. He cuts a deeply unpleasant figure who holds little attraction.

His "tortured character from Dostoevsky" persona may have lured Dianne Abbott to his muse (sic) cottage back in the 1970s, but he's the antithesis of electable in 2018.

Corbyn is the Trojan Horse and the electorate have fallen for it. The power/danger is Mcdonnell.

I think many of us are shuddering at the thought of McDonnel having any power he will be ruthless and so very very damaging.
If you think we are divided now wait until he starts stealing from peoples pockets

[Bullett]

Yeah, but "free" stuff.

2 weeks ago McDonnell was in the city answering questions from a group of fund managers about his economic policy. Asked by a member of the audience if he believed that a particular item would really bestow any economic benefit on the country as a whole he said `Not necessarily, but we are also motivated by revenge. The time for revenge is arriving`

A colleague who was present said he and the other attendees were genuinely shocked & horrified.

He doesn't, but McDonnell does, and bribing all the snowflakes to vote for Corbyn with lures of "free stuff", and then soon after replacing him with McDonnell, is likely the plan.

One of the problems facing Labour is that the quality of their front bench, without exception, is so abysmally low. Its not only Corbyn.

Politics Today with Andrew Neil had one such idiot on today. Questioned as to why the EU would agree to one of Labours Brexit arrangements when it went against all the EU rules he was dumfounded, he just didn't know what to say. Tried to waffle about Tories in disarray etc but Andrew Neil wouldnt let him off the hook.

Andrew Neil then gave him the whole of PMQ's to come up with an answer and at the end he asked him the same question again.

He still didnt know and repeated ad nausiem the lines he previously used, the same lines parrotted by Long Bailey whenever she is asked a question she doesnt know the answer to, which is all the time.

Utterly witless idiots, but thankfully they are the only idiots available to Corbyn as his party is as split as the Tories are.


Cheers,
Tony

The only answer I heard (was putting up decorations at the time) paraphrased " the EU would negotiate differently with Labour involved" or something like that.

That needs wider publicity.

Most Labour voters would love that, they have been conditioned to hate the rich and talk of 'revenge' is exactly what they want to hear. For the many, not the few......

Just look at their gleeful reaction to Alan Sugar's statement that he'd leave the country if Corbyn gets in, oblivious to the fact he's the epitome of a working class success story and pays millions in tax every year

Corbyn is a pussy cat. The real danger to the Uk right now is the Tory Keystone Kabinet. Proper scary due to near total incompetence.

For clarity: are you suggesting that Corbyn, McDonnell, Abbott, Rayner et al are competent?
