    I see that 25 sitting and former Tory Councillors have been exposed for posting racist and Islamaphobic material on social media.

    No surprise there. The Tory party is riddled with racists and always has been. It's a much bigger issue than than the real, but very limited, antisemitism in the Labour Party, but receives a tiny fraction of the publicity. Surprise, surprise.

    He's not my leader. He's got some good points but also some negatives. I'd rather he wasn't the current leader of the LP because, with a better leader Labour would be annihilating this bunch of chancers and incompetents that pass for our current government.
    He wants a very different kind of Britain from the one that you'd like to take us back to. That doesn't make him anti-British.

    Labours problems run far deeper than Corbyn. Fail to win the December election and any credibility they had left must surely have gone. Even with how bad the conservatives have apparently been and how despised Johnson apparently is they still go into this election with a very good chance of winning and its unfair to pin all the blame on Corbyn.

    I'm not. But he's undoubtedly a big part of why Labour are doing much worse than they should be. Having said that, he's undoubtedly a good campaigner and has already halved lead. But I fear that in the only poll that matters it won't be enough.

    He loses this and he should be finished as an MP. Never fear, they'll find a role for him somewhere in the public sector.

    I doubt it. I reckon if he goes as leader he'll retire but keep active in local politics and non-parliamentary campaigning.

    There are many things that Corbyn can be accused of, but I genuinely don't think that being motivated by money is one of them.

    He doesn't want/need the burden of a job....he's worth more than most of us here put together...
    He's happy just being Putins useful idiot and would be shocked if he won next month, he'd be happy just spending the rest of his days organising protest marches and rallies etc...bless him...

    Send him to the House of Lords with the other OAPs falling to sleep and receiving £305 per day attendance allowance, plus travel expenses and subsidised restaurant facilities.

    It is where all good socialists end up after a lifetime of not working and becoming rich at the taxpayers expense

    Corbyns wife ( multi millionaire ) is under investigation for paying slave wages to workers on her Mexican coffee plantations . Not my main point really , all politicians are in it for themselves , all very rich , all money grabbers , all out of touch with the general public . Brilliant isn't it , all the money to be ploughed into various public bodies , all in time for the next GE . I live in a Labour area , its been Labour since the vikings invaded , no investment for years , voted 68% to leave , yet the sitting Labour MP does not recognise the referendum result . The Con- servatives are unelectable yet they will win this seat . The Lib -dems are a joke , most round me work at Sellafield , the new proposed power station is on the back burner . The Lib - Dems have raised objections to a new coal seam ( employing 500 + ) saying they are totally against it . 500 + jobs in my area would be a god send , totally out of touch . This country is at a crossroads which 20 years ago i could not have foreseen , we will never be re- united due to the deep entrenchment of voters ( Brexit etc) . The political ruling class have caused this mess , they dont think the country exists north of Watford , these divisions have been a result of previous governments ( which ever party ) ignoring the north . The genie is out of the bottle , the current GE is exposing many MPs and prospective MPs for what they really are.

    Brexit party candidates kicking off because they were stood down, and not getting the money they individually paid to stand. There must be a word for that.
