I imagine he won't be after the election. If there was an effective opposition party then he wouldn't have lasted this long.

Tony Blair less popular than Jeremy Corbyn, poll finds

so this is why they didn't bring out the big guns

While one in three people (33 per cent) has a favourable opinion of Mr Corbyn, and 60 per cent an unfavourable one, Mr Blair’s ratings are even more bleak, at 21 per cent and 72 per cent respectively.

The survey of 2,006 adults by ORB found that 60 per cent of people who voted Labour at the 2015 election have a favourable view of Mr Corbyn, and 35 per cent an unfavourable one. Mr Blair is much less popular among them; only 37 per cent have a favourable opinion of him, while 56 per cent do not.

Bliar is about as popular as a rattlesnake in a lucky dip.

Just watched it. John McDonnell came across as very reasonable and solid. He did an excellent job of hiding the extremism that resides at his core. If Labour want to win an election they should have him as leader.
A very dangerous man.

Very. The thing is that we know all about the extremism that lies within and for those who don't it only takes a quick internet search to find out the truth. There's no way his previous isn't going to haunt him.

The Sunday politics did show a short clip from Marr today and 2013, where he spoke of his Marxist beliefs

His kind took my grandfather to the forest to shoot him and [Mod edit - word deleted] up my country and it's people with their evil ideals. My personal opinion is that people like him shouldn't be allowed that kind of publicity, just like it's denied to extreme right wingers.

I don't think he should be denied the interview. But Marr is not up to the job of exposing his true beliefs. If he is a Marxist, he has the right to be heard, but get an interviewer who is more knowledgeable, with a bit of grit and isn't a pushover.

Still one of my favourite moments from last year

You can just see how people like McDonnell are full of hate. They are indeed highly dangerous and just as appalling as their right wing equivalents. Give people like them power and see how they abuse it.

Despite lack of clarity from Corbyn on Hamas and Hezbollah, concerning though it is, at this point in time, there is no evidence to equate the current labour leadership with the Nazis. Keeping an eye on this would be prudent though.

Will JC not be gone soon anyway?
