You don't think that the government are doing exactly this? I don't see employers going to the wall the way some individuals just as dependent on the government are.

<p>How can he represent, for example, Conservative-leaning constituents when being part of a movement that believes *anyone* opposed to Messrs Corbyn and McDonnell are "scum"? We have yet to hear him say he is the representative of every resident --regardless of how they voted, if at all Come to think of it, a 'thank you' post on here wouldn't go amiss, either.</p>

I disagree. The way Westminster politics happens means that opposition is a very important job. If you have an opposition always trying to copy your policies just so that they can have a crack at being elected then you end up with some pretty crap stuff. Since Jeremy Corbyn has been leader of the Labour Party and moved it significantly back to the left, the government has moved to the "centre", which is now further left than it would have been if we just remained with them trying to woo right…

Since Jeremy Corbyn has been leader of the Labour Party and moved it significantly back to the left, the government has moved to the "centre", which is now further left than it would have been if we just remained with them trying to woo right wing swing voters. Not voting against the Welfare Reform Bill comes to mind as a good example of this. Classic!

Classic! We're in a post truth/facts world so you're of course correct.<br />

It shocks me to see the outright lies that make it into our press only to be followed by a tiny retraction at the bottom of page five. A lot of them these days are about the leader of the opposition.

<p>Corbyn and Labour do not have a monopoly on these things. If anyone disagrees, it's a "slur". I think it's time you took a chill pill in somewhere like Ibiza...</p>
