The results of the latest YouGov ‘Who would make the best Prime Minister’poll will surprise you then.

No they wouldn't.
They simply show that Corbyn and Farage supporters believe polls predict results.

What a tosser. What a shame they’re aren’t some decent opposition leaders around. There must be someone,somewhere. Surely ?

Perhaps it was AI generated.

Why is he described as "Comrade Corbyn"? He is not a member of the Communist Party. He wants to form his own party.

It means he doesn't like capitalism, bless him.

Just asked my husband who is not just politically astute but a teacher of English to boot and he hasn't a clue either. Thinks JC has copied it from somewhere. Should any of us ever be in one of his meetings we can ask him to translate into bog standard English.

The results of the latest YouGov ‘Who would make the best Prime Minister’poll will surprise you then.

Corbyn got 29% and Farage 30% in a direct head to head on who would make the best PM.

I think they would both be irredeemably dreadful myself, but given a choice between the two the public are evenly divided.

No it doesn’t surprise me it’s just a poll.Corbyn sank without trace when the public actually came to vote in the GE.
I don’t want either as PM, perish the thought.😲

I think it shows something, it is not a one off, this poll is done every month so it’s interesting to sense the public mood.

Eh? I thought he was talking about the fabric round the base of the bed.

That sentence reminds me of the socialist worker folks trying (and failing ) to persuade us to strike in the early eighties. It’s almost as though Jeremy Corbyn believes baffling us will lead to seeing him as dead clever

Valdavi no most people are not happier with three word sentences, that’s very intellectually snobbish.
Most people prefer plain speaking.It now becomes clear why Corbyn did so badly up to now.

valdavi Sat 09-Aug-25 20:11:29

No, most people happier with "stop the boats" " MAGA" "Britain is broke" sentences with fewer than 3 words.

I don't understand either, but I'm sure I could google enough to understand him in the time it would take me to translate a USA recipe to a GB one - & so could most people if they could be bothered.We'd have learnt something too.

Us working class darn Sarf don’t get it either😂Maybe he’s using AI to cobble it together.

Today he said (and I quote)

“the efficacy of this kind of politics stems from unlocking the potential progressive valence of the ‘national’ dimension of the capital-nation-state triad.”

Eh? Come again?
Us working class ‘oop North’ won’t be understanding a word of what tha’s saying lad.

Anyone else in the dark? Or is it just me who doesn’t follow his gobbledegook? 😂
