As the leader of Labour I wish him well in making an even bigger mess of it than his predecessors. ;)

But then, last May you were convinced everyone was voting for Miliband.

And the summer of riots. ;)

Whatever his party's latest policy on the EU is, it's odd how he seems to be trying to emulate their dithering and lack of unity within his own front bench. He's doing a good job of it though and calling it the 'new politics' makes it all oK. New politics from Old Labour, who'd have thought?...

That's not true. I knew some idiots were going to vote for Dave.

so that makes it not everyone.

did I tell you that soon we're going to find out that Dave getting in was one big fix?

He's under strong medication. :D

JEREMY Corbyn has scored the worst popularity rating on record for a new Opposition leader of minus 8.

A YouGov poll for The Sun shows he also failed to get the usual “bounce” from his first party conference as leader this week.

The survey is Britain’s first verdict on Mr Corbyn after his landmark address on Tuesday.

The findings suggest he has not convinced sceptical voters with his “kinder politics” speech and left-wing vision.

Mr Corbyn is the 14th new Opposition leader since polling began in 1955. None have rated as poorly as the 66-year-old MP for Islington North.
Linky

Not an auspicious start then?

Auspicious? I'd say he's done just about everything the Tories could wish for. Almost every day that goes by brings a new madcap policy or area of fundamental disagreement and that's only amongst him and his new cabinet. I know Labour likes the idea of devolution on a national level but he's doing it on a party level. :D

Tories must be laughing their heads off. He's done so many U turns over the last few days it's like some mad Whirling Dervish.

All the Tories need to do is NOT to get too smug and wallow in gloating. There's plenty more work to do: Getting the state off peoples backs, getting people off the state teats, building affordable housing etc.

Agree and it's not like HMG hasn't got more than a few problems of its own to deal with.

I assume that's a joke, Gary! There's a lot more likelihood of Mr Bean being elected, IMO
