Yes, it's the Daily Mail, yes it's written by an ex-Labour MP, and yes, it's scathing...but is it wrong?

I'm genuinely interested as to whether there are any Corbyn supporters on AB, and if there are, why?

No judgement, just genuinely interested.

They're a bit like abba supporters in the 70s, keeping it quiet! TBF though even the most loyal of supporters must have had their faith tested of late. With the Tories leaving open goals all over the place they still can't score, riding 4th in the polls and if the they got the election they crave they'd be thrashed.

Not so many Labour supporters on here never mind Corbyn!

[ToraToraTora]

Ian Austin is just one of many in the party that must be despairing of the path Labour has taken.

they've both been locked in the ab green room with the Diane Abbott supporter

I just don’t know why J C is still the leader of the Labour Party. (I’m sure he is a nice person with strong beliefs about inequality) but as a leader he is rubbish .

Corbyn as a person is caring, humanitarian and kind hearted.

Corbyn as a politician is a target, a scapegoat and a sponge for propaganda. He is blamed for every labour issue. It;s unfair.

Not a Corbyn supported, but I'm not a Corbyn hater either. Aint got time for negativity towards someone who isn't relevant at all.

He is the leader of the Labour Party and, like with all leaders, the buck stops with him.

Sad to say, but I just can't give my support to anyone. there is just no one up to the job in either party.

Corbyn, like his mates, is all heart – especially with other people’s money.

He’s a puppet.

//Corbyn as a person is caring, humanitarian and kind hearted. //

Yes it was very touching and tugged my heart strings to see the care he gave when he layed flowers on the grave of a Palestinian terrororist who was responsible for the death of 11 Israeli Competitors at the Munich Olympics.
Very kind hearted to invite PIRA for lunch at the House of Commons.

"This should be a golden moment for Labour. The Government's turmoil over Brexit should present a wide open target for any normal opposition." - Indeed

"But our country does not have a normal opposition. Instead, we have one in the hands of a dangerously extreme, viciously sectarian cabal headed by Jeremy Corbyn" - brutal, especially coming from a Labour MP.

They all seem to have gone remarkably quiescent of late.

"He’s a puppet."

A Muppet, maybe.

But he's not as much as a puppet as the Tory party, let's get real.

[naomi24]

//A Muppet, maybe//

That too.

[dannyk13]

Spath //But he's not as much as a puppet as the Tory party, let's get real.//
How can a party be called a puppet? I think it is you who should get real

[spathiphyllum]

Danny, time will tell.

[spathiphyllum]

The party isn't a puppet, but a puppet show.

Regretfully, to succeed as a political leader in this infantile world, you have to be a strutting toddler, toys thrown out of the pram, screaming and crying to get your own way... and in media terms 'good' looking.

Hence Thatcher, Trump, Johnson, possibly Farage. Buffoons all, but all fit the bill for 'greatness'.

Quiet confidence and high principles do not enter into it, hence Corbyn's failure as a leader.

Still, you get what you pay for, and you are going to pay for it.

BB (Oh, I'm a lifelong leftwing socialist, but a realist - Corbyn has little chance).

[Gromit]

It is pretty clear that Corbyn is not a good leader, but I don’t think you can heap all the blame onto him. The problem is that the elected MPs totally disagree with the party members on almost everything.
Corbyn believes in respecting the vote to Leave the EU, and the vast majority of his MPs want to ignore the public and stay in. Trying to manage that basic mismatch is an impossible task. The result is in-fighting and poor ratings.
