They cut his bike brake wire (alledgedly possibly maybe) and now this

So tax-dodging train service owner tried to discredit a politician who wants to make a case for renationalising. Then shows a photo of JC walking past a row of reserved seats! I know who I trust and it ain't that Guy Fawkes look alike Virgin magnet.

Oh well, more fool you then T.G.

You have to smile. When Jezza was elected leader he was applauded and lorded and was going to get the Labour party to the top again......according to many on here.
Now he is a laughing stock.

Correct and many of those misguided fruitloops are now nowhere to be seen.
What a surprise.

To be fair if I had been a vocal supporter of a far left takeover of the Labour party reducing it to a near political irrelevance (at a time where a strong opposition is desperately needed), hopelessly split, consistently trailing 10+ points behind a Tory Government with it's own problems ... I would be keeping a pretty low profile too.

This lot are very dangerous. A self made millionaire who has created countless jobs for the UK is threatened like this for pointing out Corbin lies.

The labour party are looking like a bunch of gangsters. Can't take criticism, can't admit they lied, threaten people. Extremely ugly.

Yes, if they ever get to power the country is in real trouble.

Well they did a fantastic job last time...

You're right, took us into an illegal war and ran the finances to the ground. Even disowned by Labour supporters now! And of course the time before, the country had gone to the IMF asking for finds as we had run out of cash...plus the rubbish in the streets as the union barons held the country to ransom

Never forget

The Labour left have always been unpleasant.

Jesus, what a load of garbage.

What about a party that cocked up with the ERM, sold the family silver, decimated the NHS, oversaw a massive decline in manufacturing, left education establishments to crumble and basically just looked after their own.

People in glass houses and all that.

This is more accurate. It's not the Labour party as a whole that is the problem, it is the far left of the party, once when they were Militant and now when they are Momentum.

Whilst this is fascinating in the same way that watching a multiple pile-up on the M25 is fascinating what the hell is the Labour Party going to look like when Corbyn wins again and all the 'disloyal' MPs are then purged and replaced by Corbynistas?

And where would all these 'Red Tories' end up? The Lib Dems, a new SDP?

 

[Soulman]

The Labour left have always been unpleasant.

Former shadow chancellor Ed Balls has said Jeremy Corbyn's Labour leadership style is a "leftist utopian fantasy".

Mr Balls said Mr Corbyn's approach was "devoid of connection to the reality of people's lives".

The remarks are made in his autobiography, Speaking Out, which also includes candid reflections on Labour's general election defeat last year.

Jesus, what a load of garbage.

Which part was garbage? There are plenty of labour supporters on here saying the iraq war was illegal. And many who dont see the Blair government as a Labour government. Did we not go cap in hand to the IMF funds under the Callaghan government for $3.9bn at the time? Were there no strikes in the late 70s as the union barons tried to wrestle control, leaving rubbish left uncollected in the street, pilling up? Which part of this is garbage?

Doesn't seem particularly unpleasant...by Ed Ball's standards!! There are always individual exceptions and Ed Balls is one of them although it does make a change for him to speak the truth!!

Whatever traction JC has within the Labour party, is still failing to make any impression on the electorate as a whole.

Quite apt as they will all be getting their UB40's after the next General Election.

It's like a dumbed down version of Bono sticking his hooter in world politics.
