Corbyn declines to meet the Queen.

So on holiday walking in Scotland having a well earned rest. Good for him.

Really? A strange time to take a holiday I would have thought.

A rest? He's hardly got going yet...

Why not a holiday? Why is it a strange time to holiday ? We have people take walking holidays here through the year . I spent a two week walking holiday in Yorkshire in October , strange ? No, a lovely time of year for walking holidays . Just remembered had a two week holiday in Paris in October too.

.... For a politician, we mean.Yes, a lovely time of year, but not if you are the leader of a political party, new to the job.

Parliament was closed, labour conference over , a good time surely . He had to work through the summer, then the leader election, then selecting a shadow cabinet, then party conference. Nothing odd about a few days holiday, just nit picking now

He is getting on a bit, he was probably worn out poor chap.
And a walking holiday would give him an opportunity to have a good think.

Don't think his age means he needs a holiday, Cameron took three during the summer break

I wondered when someone would bring that up!

I suppose as he is getting on a bit, he will get tired.

His role is hardly a part time one leading to retirement.

All a bit late for him but he looks chipper so we will have to see.

He seems to me more of a catylist than the next PM

Maybe a wee dram or two in Scotland will revive him.

Churchill led this country through the war when older and was leader of the opposition until aged 77

He did seem to require quite a lot of liquid fortification though, by all accounts!

True, and suffered a stroke which the press repressed

If JC were to be PM, lol, he'd have to meet the Queen. If that numpty refused, it would it provoke serious constitutional problems?

I find some of JC's ideas unpalatable. You don't throw your stick away when confronted by bullies.

If we had a less punitive Tory government JC wouldn't have risen to sit
on the front bench.

I think you'll find he has already met her. Old news.
