I think David Cameron should butt out and leave Jeremy Corbyn alone

None of his business. Just because he's had a hard time and been bullied by Junker, doesn't mean he should bully Corbyn. "For heaven's sake man, GO!".

Nasty I say. hmm

Even a cursory listening to any exchange on PMQs reveals MPs, especially the leaders of all the parties barracking each other about anything that is seen as perceived weakness. Cameron's comment is just part and parcel of that. Nothing exceptional about it. In fact it is such an obvious comment to make I am amazed he didn't make it some days ago when Corbyn was loaing all his shadow cabinet, and their replacements and then the ones that replaced them.

Gee En Party - NO! Sounds too much like Green Party - maybe just plain GN Party.

And as for Cameron telling Corbyn to go, it's not in Cameron's own personal interests to do that as he now has a weak opponent on all levels in Corbyn. As usual, Cameron is thinking of the country rather than himself - well apart from the Referendum of course where he really did miscalculate big style. I do think Cameron comes across as a decent guy with good intentions - unlike some. Just another nightmare from the result.

Gee En Party - has a certain ring to it..

Shall we go up there and have a go instead?

jinglbellsfrocks Wed 29-Jun-16 15:19:33

Bunch of kids. hmm

Didn't like the tone of that one bit, but it just about sums up what kind of 'leaders' we have these days.

jinglbellsfrocks Wed 29-Jun-16 15:16:55

He can't make Corbyn go though.

Anniebach Wed 29-Jun-16 15:06:39

True, but he no say if a leader of another party leaves or stays , didn't stop him did it?

jinglbellsfrocks Wed 29-Jun-16 15:04:01

Surely he has no say on who stands or doesn't.

Anniebach Wed 29-Jun-16 15:00:13

He could tell Johnson and Fox and as PM I assume he has the power to stop Government contracts with G4 ,N if not then put May on the back benches

jinglbellsfrocks Wed 29-Jun-16 14:59:13

OK! #pantsonfire

baNANAgran you can use whichever swear words you choose on Gransnet. HQ positively encourage it. smile

jinglbellsfrocks Wed 29-Jun-16 14:57:05

Can he do that ab?

jinglbellsfrocks Wed 29-Jun-16 14:56:12

I can't agree with that. I think he was wrong to lead us to Brexit, but I believe he has the wellbeing of the nation in mind.

Anniebach Wed 29-Jun-16 14:55:31

Cameron needs to sort his own party out, start with telling Johnson he is a liar . Telling Fox he should not stand for PM considering his history as s crooked MP and advise May that the government must withdraw all contracts with G4 because it her husbands company

baNANAGran3 Wed 29-Jun-16 14:47:42

on not in..

baNANAGran3 Wed 29-Jun-16 14:47:21

My worry about Boris (well one of the many worries) is that if there should be a general election I think a huge number of waverers (ie not totally committed Torys) would never vote for him. I think he's a totally self serving politician who has put himself and his own ambitions far ahead of the good of the country. I so so sincerely hope he doesn't make it. Not even had the grace to attend parliament since telling a lot of lies and saying many things I'm sure he didn't believe himself. 10 out of 10 for cunning though, it may get him to be PM which is what he's wanted for years. Not sure what swear words I can use in GN......

You're talking sense yet again jingle.....blimey....the whole countries in meltdown and I we're agreeing with each other! There is hope for the future of mankind perhaps....

(I am sorry that posting on Gransnet seems to bring out the very worst in my turn of phrases)

jinglbellsfrocks Wed 29-Jun-16 14:42:13

Eh? (Alima). Have I been slipping lately? shock

jinglbellsfrocks Wed 29-Jun-16 14:41:08

Of course, if Junker is going to be listened to, it would mean the invoking of the clause the very next day. But Junker can go screw himself go to blazes.

Alima Wed 29-Jun-16 14:39:34

Jingl, not like you to be caustic!

jinglbellsfrocks Wed 29-Jun-16 14:39:02

(I know I put that jokingly, but I really think it)

jinglbellsfrocks Wed 29-Jun-16 14:38:17

I was thinking about that as I walked back from town today. I think he's got to be the one. He got them into this mess, he must feel qualified to take over the steering of the ship now. His bessie mate, little Michael, could help him out with the difficult bits, like the adding up and taking away.
