Once brexit is out of the way, he gets my full backing, renationise the railways. Utilities, water, electric, gas and sort the empty properties out that landlords are sitting on in the likes of London, as well as putting the squeeze on the tax havens and the people who do not want to pay there share of tax .

 

Didnt that Tony Blair go to war at one time, fully backed by the then Tory opposition, although to hear them talk 20 or so years later " if wasnt us govner".

 

Not at all @Tony Wilkinson I have no envy in my body, but I do believe the necessities of life should not be for the benifit of shareholders.

 

The local elections in Bradford were sorted weeks ago .

 

Corbyn's record on foreign policy is FAR better than any of the Tories and quite a lot better than many in his own party. Iraq and Libya being just two examples. I'm certainly far from convinced that he's wrong on Syria either.

 

We were right to go in to Iraq and hundreds of thousands of people are alive today because of it, The way the Americans dealt with Iraq AFTER the war and deposition of Saddam was a poor effort and kept the opposition and terrorists alive for more years than needed but the decision to go to war was fully vindicated, The development of a functioning democracy was always going to take years it always does ( Look at our own bloody history of establishing democracy )
As for Syria it is a war of Obama's making, His false promises to those attempting to take over Syria in the Arab spring and then doing nothing when they needed the help he had promised and not enforcing his own red lines led to a vacuum that ISIS moved in to creating mass deaths and a real mess of a once beautiful and well educated country,

 

Can't see that happening, the City will have a Labour council.

 

Just heard a local independent hopeful try put a positive spin on potholes....They act as traffic calming measures, apparently.

 

How have you arrived at your conclusion that Corbyn has got Russia, Syria and the Jewish issue very wrong? Is it from listening to the narrative the neocon mainstream media are pushing?

 

What policy ? He's never been in a position of having to make any ministerial policies. He made populist statements to attract voters in the last election he lost , so he didn't have to fullfill them .

 

That's meaningless. The fact that he voted against the Iraq war and the bombing of Libya whilst the vast majority of his fellow parliamentarians did the opposite is hardly his fault. He's been proven right, history tells us that. No one denies it now. I can't think of one MP who still thinks it was a good idea. Given that the vast majority of MP's are well over 40 years old so much for your older and wiser heads.

 

There are a lot of people that are far from convinced Corbyn is wrong on Syria but they are either ridiculed or ignored by the mainstream media. People like General Johnathan Shaw, former commander of British forces in Iraq, Lord Shaw, former head of British Royal Navy and Peter Ford, former British ambassador to Syria. There are also lots of independent journalists like Robert Fisk and Pearson Sharp that have actually visited Syria after the alleged chemical attacks and have talked to people that live and work there including senior doctors, and they all say there was no chemical attack. Pearson Sharp has reported that there were western news crews from more mainstream outlets, including ITV that spoke to and interviewed the same people he did yet their interviews have never seen the light of day, presumably because what they were told did not fit the narrative they are trying to sell to the masses.

 

I’ll vote labour for local but corbyns lost my vote for the weak stance on Russia ,Syria and the poisoning incident labour needs a good kick up its arse maybe start again call it erm

New labour ?

 

I believe him...

 

We do need another party offering something different a centre party would win hands down
Why are all parties full of cranks

Time the prime minister canes from s true working class background

 

Youv'e got yer centre party, Lib Dems....good luck with that, wool for brains....one level above the Greens...

 

No chance I’m a labour voter but Corbyn has got Russia, Syria and the Jewish issuevery wrong if there was a viable party the torrirs would be the opposition Corbyn is keeping them in office. If someone like Corbyn can get momentum and a cult following there’s something very wrong In uk politics

 

By is refusal to involve himself in anything that goes against his core beliefs. Momentum is driving Labour now , they have a ultra left wing agenda . Despite the Tories being loathed Labour have not made any lnroads , corbyn is looked on by many has the eccentric uncle who everyone ignores . Labour in its present form will never be electable.

 

Marxist Momentum (AKA Labour) always back the enemies of OUR country, until they shift from that position they will eventually head into oblivion...fingers crossed...
