/// Jeremy condemns Al Muhajiroun in the strongest possible terms.’#But the Labour leader has been exposed for calling terrorist groups Hezbollah and Hamas his friends, describing the death of Bin Laden as a tragedy, boasting of opposing anti-terror legislation in his 30-year career as an MP, and opposing powers stopping would-be terrorists travelling to fight with Islamic State. ///

May voted remain .

[Zacs-Master]

can you really see Jezza standing up to the European Council. C'mon let's be realistic.

[Baldric]

Labour, as always, wants a unicorn, paid for with magic beans whatever gets the votes.

[Celtigra3]

Neither of them are fit.

"True he would turn the UK into such a basket case economy that they would flee in their millions and probably the same number of Brits as well."

Very good Togo. "You wanted less immigration didn't you?" :)

[Khandro]

Is he fit to be the Prime Minister Of The UK? Personally, I don't think he's fit to run a chip shop.
May's last night's talk, fronted excellently by Boris, was extremely good and for the first time she broached the subject of standing up to Muslim Extremism, and then the challenge of getting Brexit right.
It was followed by the speech of hapless j. Corbyn, who sounded like a complete anachronism still studying Karl Marx and out of touch with the real affairs of the world in general and Britain in particular.

How anybody but the seriously deranged could vote for him to run the UK is a complete mystery.

[Togo]

I did indeed Ed....but with terms that were good for Britain, not conditions that would be the ruination of us.

[hellywelly4]

I have always mistrusted him and feel that he is virtually a communist.

[AB Editor]

Is that right anneasquith? There you go. If you want someone who voted out to decide how we leave, then it's a vote for Corbyn, surely?

[AB Editor]

"Personally, I don't think he's fit to run a chip shop."

He can get a net for the beard.

[Togo]

//Is that right anneasquith? There you go//

Anne is always right.

//He can get a net for the beard.//

Good swap, or a Burka to cover his face completely. :))

[Zacs-Master]

It's a well known fact that May is one of the 184 conservative and 218 Labour MPs who voted Remain.

[Khandro]

Zacs; She wasn't really very committed to it and she didn't go out of her way to campaign, as I remember.

[kvalidir]

Far more suited to power than Theresa May. you're 'points' are all out of context and meaningless AOG. Corbyn is at least progressive rather than regressive. However much you might wish it even Theresa May and her wishful thinking cannot magically catapult the nation back to 1955 with white privilege, unequal rights, no immigrants and lashings of ginger beer. We have to look forward to a more equal and enlightened society, and post Brexit ( assuming it goes ahead) the strongest possible relationship with Europe.

[Togo]

We all know where the exciting "progressive" social manipulation has taken us. As for more rights? When did taking our rights and handing them to alien cultures improve our lives?

[naomi24]

Mrs May did vote to remain – she confirmed that in the questions and answers session chaired by David Dimbleby. However, I think she respects democracy far more than the complaining Remainers do, and I believe she will do her utmost to deliver what the majority of the electors voted for. I agree with those who seriously doubt Jeremy Corbyn’s commitment to doing that. I think his vision of our future relationship with Europe is very different to that of the majority of the ‘Leavers’. He’s already spoken about allowing continued immigration – one of the key reasons leavers voted ‘Leave’. I wouldn’t trust his ‘everything for nothing promises’ either because it stands to reason that ultimately the working man will pay – and I wouldn’t trust him on anything else either. The man embraces an unworkable idealism that, in the real world, simply cannot work.

It seems that May's ability to jump ship from one cause to another (usually the winning one) is being sold as a strength. I'd call it cynical and power-oriented.

Corbyn isn't interested in winning it seems. Only likes it when it's thrust upon him. Maybe that should be seen as a virtue...?

I'm being TIC of course -- but not entirely. I think May's Remain-Leave transition is duplicitous and motivated by desires for power. That should be transparently obvious -- even if you still think she's better-placed to lead the UK, she has serious defects and it's only the quality (or lack thereof) of her main opposition that is giving her that chance.

[Zacs-Master]

Anyone who wasn't alive in the early / mid 70s need to do a bit of research before voting Labour and decide whether they want to go back to severe Union manipulation of our industries, blackouts, mass unemployment and an economy that was the laughing stock of Europe if not the civilised world. Jezza is a cardboard cut out of labour leaders at that time and would undoubtedly take us back into those tough times.

[naomi24]

Jim, //I think May's Remain-Leave transition is duplicitous and motivated by desires for power. //

If that's true then same must apply to Corbyn - a Leaver at heart who went along with the Remain bandwagon. At least we know how Mrs May voted. Do you know how Corbyn voted?

[Zacs-Master]

I don't think there has been any 'transition'. She still believes we'd be better off remaining but, as Naomi says, had the grace and sense to go with what the majority voted for.
