Does anyone believe that he will be good for us pensioners?

If Corbyn is giving people information, that's fine by me, tegan. That wasn't what was being talked about when I commented on the simplicity of his views up thread. He has been an activist all his political career (nothing wrong with that) but now that he's leader of a major political party it's not that simple imo.

He will have to negotiate and compromise, something I don't get the feeling he's needed to do much of so far. I shall be watching his leadership unfold with interest and if he makes a good job of it, good for him.

A brilliant article about the Labour party under Jeremy Corbyn.

HIGNFY (Have I Got News For You) made their point succinctly, they showed footage of JC's habit of staring at cameras. Anyone see that episode?

It was particularly noticeable when he sat next to DC (who rightly, ignored the camera). I bet DC had choice words describing his aberrant behaviour. ['shock]. How disrespectful.

Is JC like an onion? Peel off layer after another, to find . .what?confused

Nothing much?

HIGNFY showed a clip of Cameron promising not to change tax credits for people on last weeks programme I believe [must admit I haven't seen it but the S.O. did].

Yes, Tegan, I saw it and he was most emphatic about not changing tax credits. Did you see the way Osborne was strutting around Manchester with the President of China? It's looking more and more as if he has the upper hand on policy making and sees himself as PM in waiting.
