Socialist with a penchant for German footballers. What's not to like?

Saving the UK is clearly a very time consuming job!

The well being of the young, low paid and vulnerable have no direct affect on my wellbeing whatsoever. So I don't vote for my own interests. You made a daft statement and you're now seem to be trying to wriggle out of it with pedantry. I'm off to bed.

I think most people will agree that the term "looking after your own interests" means you have a strong, personal and direct interest in something.

I am not sure I understand your point? Are you suggesting I'm young, low paid and/or vulnerable?

I think you know what I mean. But above all, I don't vote for my own interests.

I can't be arsed to list everything but broadly speaking the young, the low paid, the vulnerable.

Rubbish. I've never voted for my own interests.

Oh come on. It is obviously the point and surely goes without saying?

No. It's a caveat to my comment about no one, including me, having any meaningful data or idea about how things will pan out.

I think we all understand the numbers re-joining and joining, compared to the electorate, is small. And we all understand that this alone will not win the election. The point, which I think you're missing, is that this surge might be indicative and representative of something bigger. Of course...

I think you can be attracted to Corbyn without necessarily being a hard leftie. I support a number of his policies, but oppose a few others. I'm a leftie, but not a hard leftie, but a lot of his ideas really resonate with me and fit my outlook of fairness, education, opportunity and support for...

I feel he has done more than "energised the left of the left". The sheer volume of people joining the Labour Party, and the numbers of "young" voters suggest to me it's something a bit more that just hard core lefties.

Great contribution. Thank you.

Your world really is, isn't it?

It took just the third paragraph, good work.

To me, in the context he provided it seems reasonable. He also mentioned his words at the time were clumsy.

It's always a pleasure to have a beer with Mr Mahone especially after an Albion victory. Come join next time.

His victory was organised by his supporters.....as all leadership campaigns are. And out of interest how do you explain the tens of thousands that have been joining or rejoining the Labour since his victory? He is where he is due to popular demand. To say anything else is absurd.

Taken at face value, what McDonnell said seemed reasonable to me. As did a number of other items in that particular interview.
