Well Eagle has just dropped out. I don't like personality politics but that is definitely the correct decision. Genuinely interested what alternative vision Owen Jones now puts forward.

Corbyn IS honest Rob. Very honest. And given the human condition it's a major, major weakness mp m,ayyer now much we all want the world to be like that. The world isn't. He doesn't fit.And Copps: I appreciate you only had a lower class sort of education, but surely even you can work out how to use google? If you don't understand the sort of stuff that educated people do, it's easy enough to work it out.See? Two can play at the insulting game.CheersBob
Labour haven't the time to regain the votes lost, in the time that is left.
I agree with you, Copps. I think Corbyn has something quite intangible; an honesty that has been bereft of mainstream politicians for some time. What he is inspiring isn't "politics" as we've come to know it over the past 20 or 30 years. Its a movement for change. It is bringing together those sick of the phoney war that happens at PMQs, sick of the defenceless being victimised by the state, sick of an austerity that is a political choice rather than a financial necessity. This is why the Labour Party has seen hundreds of thousands of members join in the past 6 months. People are seeing sense in what Corbyn says (when the right wing media allow it to be heard). The establishment is scared. The PLP fears its gravy train will be derailed. Corbyn might not be the man to take this to its logical conclusion but he certainly is the man who is getting the ball rolling.

The right launch an electability crusade and then refuse to put forward their most talented candidates. But the greatest irony is a much bigger one - bereft of ideas, Labour’s centrists just aren’t electable at all.

In fact, Doncaster has a much lower percentage of foreign born nationals compared to the national average. The pattern will be broadly similar for all cases; Larger cities have much higher percentage of foreign born nationals in comparison to smaller towns.I could have put 'Outraged of Altrincham' or 'Outraged of Reading' just as much.The point remains.
