Corbyn out of hiding

Nis is jumping, hoping mad with him and he has now angered more Welsh labour MP's by refusing to accept their views on controlled immigration, and activists in Copeland are telling voters Corbyns views on trident are not the Labour Party's views.

There is no mention of Corbyn on the bi election Labour party fliers . Truth is , he is being ignored by many in the party

Has he actually said anything about current matters of concern to voters, such as the NHS, the EU, immigration (think he touched on that, but was of course vague).

There may as well be no Opposition Party at all with him in charge of it.

Some back bench MP's are also unhappy with Corbyn over his NATO stance and also the NATO exercise in Estonia.

He made his Shadow Defence Secretary Nia Griffith look silly and I don't think this is the first time. I remember hearing her speak of the Labour Party stance on Trident and I remember thinking that is not Corbyn's view.

He is said to be going through a 'Populist' Makeover but it ain't working IMO.

I had wondered if he was the Great Danny's son as it is an unusual name.

I found this snippet lurking around on the internet from the Guardian, 2008!

It was at school that he acquired the nickname by which he is now universally known. When he was 10 the most famous footballer in Britain was Danny Blanchflower, so naturally his schoolmates latched on to that. Today, his mother is the only person who calls him David: even Mervyn King calls him Danny.

What on earth are you going on about? David 'Danny' Blanchflower is one of the best known economists in the world and has been for some time.

Joke alert:
Why does he call himself 'Danny' if his name is David?

Could it be a nickname after on the of the best known footballers in the world, Danny Blanchflower?
Perhaps you are too young daphnedill

Hallelujah, we have been resolved. The high priestess of race relations, Shami Chakrabarti has proclaimed that its not rascist to be concerned about immigration.
I can sleep better now after this proclamation.

What on earth are you going on about? David 'Danny' Blanchflower is one of the best known economists in the world and has been for some time.

So I could tweet as Jalima Beckham then?

I was thinking the same Jalima as regards Danny Blanchflower.

His name is David but is known as Danny also .

He tweets under the name of Danny I believe.

Danny Blanchflower - I thought he was a footballer?
And a journalist. (but now deceased)

Or is he son of the great Danny Blanchflower?

Blue links on there way, any time soon

Ana, I need a holiday, i read nation LOT not nation NOT sorry

'Two economists who have advised Mr Corbyn in the past also expressed misgivings.

Danny Blanchflower said it was "totally idiotic, unworkable" idea while Richard Murphy suggested it made "no economic sense", telling BBC Radio 4's World at One Mr Corbyn "needs to sit down and get some proper advice".'

As they are both highly regarded, not only by posters on GN who refer to Richard Murphy in particular on a regular basis by providing links, but by left wing media outlets and commentator's I wonder if they will have much of an airing over their thoughts on the Corbyn Peterborough Speech.

Didn't you notice the 'Not' at the end of my sentence, Annie?

POGS
Corbyn has not had a change of heart on immigration. He was just playing to the Northern gallery and today he has said he would accept free movement in order to be in the Single Market!

If he actually did want to end free movement what a damn silly thing to reveal to Merkel! Of course he doesnt. He is an open borders international Marxist.

Cannot accept inspired, I am confused , almost as much he seems to be

Yes indeed. So 'grown up'...

Meanwhile, Corbyn's speech has inspired the nation! Not.

not playing with you lot, so there.

So that must be the most childish post on here.

I think it's still far too early to judge May.
Corbyn is floundering about and nobody knows what his messages/policies are, it could be this or that,maybe we will try the other etc etc.

Thanks for the Independent link Pogs - I hadn't seen that. A chronology of a day in the life of the Labour leader, oh dear. It doesn't get any better does it.

The country needs effective opposition parties. Theresa May talks a good talk, e.g. her speech on mental health services but the government should be facing real opposition to its continued attacks on public services.

I heard Blsnchflower too.

So does anyone know where Corbyn thinks he is leading the Labour party , if so, do tell me please ,i was lost before lunch

As I thought 'muddled' thinking.

I think this take on Corbyn's proposals in his Peterborough speech sums up the day for me in a nut shell.

If you don't have the likes of Danny Blanchflower , ex Bank of England well known Labour supporter on your wave length then why should anybody take much notice. Blanchflower called it 'Lunacy'.

I've had to switch him off; his silly voice gives me stomach-ache. Whatever he is saying is wasted on me. I suppose the gist of it is that he can run the Country better than all the other Parties, when, in fact, every tine he is let out to perform, the membership of other parties goes up.
