Concern within the Labour Party that Jeremy Corbyn is doing well

True Gracesnan, how can a labour MP say they will overthrow the leader democratically elected by the majority of the party . This election is for the party leader who will be chosen by party members. The Tory press seemed troubled by Corbyn being elected , mmmmmmmmm

Really, I would think they would be delighted.

47% of Conservative party members are apparently hoping Corbyn will be elected as the next Labour leader...hmm

Yes, but they just read Tory papers.

Only 47% , this is a surprise

If they just read Tory papers, why aren't they all 'troubled' at the prospect of Corbyn being elected?

I agree with your mmmmmmmm Anniebach. It will give many voters food for thought and who knows how they will be feeling after five years of this conservative government.

We cannot know but 47% of Tory voters may live to feel they should be careful what they wish for Ana

So may all the Labour members who support him, Gracesgran!

I wonder if we are in danger of dwelling too much on the person and not the message which I think is what those supporting JC find more important?

How about the message that he would like to Nationalise anything that stands still for more than a minute?

His messages may not bother some , in fact they may welcome them, but surely not the majority of Labour voters.

oh rose ypou

And wants the UK to leave the EU.

Sorry dropped the tablet! I was going to say rose you idiot

Yes, do you want to leave the EU?

Charming.

Slight exaggeration, but I agree with that. In fact I think I heard this morning that Burnham wants to renationalise the railways.

I think it was Alan Bennett who said that anyone who stands still is likely to be called a radical.

are you under the impression Whitewave, that an emoticon grin somehow dilutes an insult?

Telling porkies again, Ana.

Pity once again we can't have a debate without somebody being personal.

Not going to get into another playground argument I don't do those. It was,'t meant as an insult ,- you genuinely make me giggle!!

However, there only seem to be about five out and out socialists on this forum, so perhaps we will hear from some moderate Labour voters at some point.

But you have ' done those' you just can't see it.

No good rose I won't rise to the bait so you just as well stop now.
