Penistone999 Â Â 10 #205 Posted September 4, 2015 Maybe, but it is Yvette Cooper I like, although to be honest, I think it's a pretty poor bunch to chose from... Â None of them will have the Tories worried . If they are the best Labour can muster , god help them at the next general election.

If its your attempt at biting critic or humour - don't quit the day job. Â Especially the first - Dad's army was never need because of 'events' elsewhere, 2020 is 4+ years away.

stressconsul   10 #210 Posted September 4, 2015 I am hoping Jeremy Corbyn will win the Labour leadership and have voted for him - I am not a Trot or a loony leftie, just a life-long labour supporter from a working class family. The 'entryists' in my opinion were Blair and his Oxbridge educated bunch of careerist M.P.s. We can either austerity our country into the ground or support growth. As a parent I know which side I am on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Hots on   10 #211 Posted September 4, 2015 I am hoping Jeremy Corbyn will win the Labour leadership and have voted for him - I am not a Trot or a loony leftie, just a life-long labour supporter from a working class family. The 'entryists' in my opinion were Blair and his Oxbridge educated bunch of careerist M.P.s. We can either austerity our country into the ground or support growth. As a parent I know which side I am on.  There would be no growth in the economy under Corbyn; he'd be too hostile towards business, big and small. Many multinationals would move headquarters abroad and many small business entrepreneurs wouldn't bother or pack in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Vague_Boy   10 #213 Posted September 4, 2015 The Tories will have a new leader for the next election, and it could well be Boris Johnson! God help all of us!!!!!  Given the "presidential" style of modern British politics, who the Conservatives pick will probably be quite important as well. According to PaddyPower, the two front runners are George Osborne and Boris Johnson (no surprises there I guess).  Boris would at least be fun. Although as Stewart Lee one said in : Is it only me or do you ever stop amazed that Boris Johnson is an actual mayor. Boris Johnson is an actual mayor of actual London, a capital city of an industrialized nation in the developed world. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

God help all of us!!!!!  I quite look forward to the next election. Corbyn vs Johnson (who is quite a bit more to the right than Cameron). I don't think there are any winners there.  ---------- Post added 04-09-2015 at 22:07 ----------  Who is this guy, the Messiah?  He's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy.
