Jeremy Corbyn is refusing to take part in Labour leadership hustings organised by the New Statesman, The Guardian, the Mirror or Channel Four on account of them having previously shown bias against him.

Jon Lansman, the director of Momentum, the group running Mr Corbyn’s leadership campaign, wrote in an email that all four had “taken partisan positions against Jeremy’s leadership or campaign... therefore can’t be regarded as impartial hosts or moderators.”

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle

How's a guy like this going to behave if ever there were enough idiots out there to vote him in? He's like a spoilt little brat who likes to dish it out but can't take it. Given his history lurking on the back benches and voting against his party, I think his recent fame has gone right to his head and addled what little brain he had left. If a scriptwriter had come up with a concept similar to Labour's recent past it would have been rejected as too ridiculous.

I'd love it if the media, from now on, refused to cover Corbyn at all. He's full of hot air anyway so it's not as if we'd be missing much...

Spitting Image couldn't make it up :D

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle

The New Statesman, Channel 4, the Mirror and the Guardian are probably the the four most blatantly pro left/pro Labour outlets in the UK. If he think they're all against him then he's totally lost it.

Corbyn's bunker mentality... :D

Jeremy Corbyn had a seat on a train journey he suggested was so “ram-packed” he had to sit on floor, according to CCTV footage seen by The Telegraph.

The Labour leader walked past rows of empty seats before sitting on the ground between carriages for a video in which he attacked the state of Britain’
s railways, footage shows.

Minutes after filming the video, during when he called for renationalisation of the railways, he took up a seat for the remaining journey of his London to Newcastle trip.

On August 11, Corbyn and his team boarded a Virgin Trains East Coast (VTEC) train at London King’s Cross to get to Newcastle. According to Virgin, CCTV footage shows them walking through Coach H – where there were plenty of unreserved seats – and walking to the far end of the train where Corbyn sat on the floor and was duly filmed by his staff.

In this video, Corbyn, more in sorrow than in anger, regrets the lack of seating and uses it as part of his campaigning initiative, launched that very day, for the renationalisation of the railways. It was subsequently posted on a newspaper website.

It now transpires that after he had finished filming – just 45 minutes into a journey set to last two and three quarter hours – he ambled back to Coach H and spent the rest of the journey sitting in comfort.

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle

A silly leftie publicity stunt that's fallen foul of modern CCTV technology. It's so crass it would be funny if it wasn't so serious. This is HMG's "opposition":dozey:

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle

The thing is its so easy to organise a genuine case of it happening , so why make it up?

Its like people who bodge telephone wiring. It takes longer to do it wrong than it does to do it right!

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle

I wonder how many episodes of this wonderful comedy Corbyn and his chum are going to come up with. It's all rather reminiscent of the Keystone Cops... :D

To think there are folks who're actually voting for this clown... :nutter:

I think any train leaving London at 5:20pm would have sufficed :)

It is the supreme irony and symptomatic of the disorganisation of the Labour party machine that the one he chose had empty seats. :erm:
