Re: 21st Century Socialist Man
Really? What saddens me is the rump self-preserver MP's left over from the disaster of Blair's NULabour.

Re: 21st Century Socialist Man
I wasn't saying that I trust May over Corbyn, on the NHS or anything else. But the public do. It is really extraordinary for a Tory prime minister to be trusted more than the Labour leader on this issue, and illustrates how big a mountain Corbyn has got to climb to make himself electable.

On who would make the best Prime Minister Theresa May leads Jeremy Corbyn by 58% to 12% with YouGov, by 58% to 19% with ComRes. YouGov currently give the Conservatives an 18 point lead on running the economy, when ComRes last asked in March the Tories had a 16 point lead. Looking at MORI’s long term approval trackers Jeremy Corbyn’s net approval rating is minus 41 – already pushing at Ed Miliband’s lowest of minus 44 (and those depths took Miliband years). Corbyn’s favourability rating in ComRes last week was minus 28, worse than everyone else they asked about but Trump.

Re: 21st Century Socialist Man
I'm happy that Labour actually has some left wing policies now rather than the neo-liberal stew of the Blair years. However, the recent targeting of Corbyn's opposition and attempts to silence it, and the lame BREXIT performance of Corbyn mean that I would probably vote Lib-Dem if in the UK.

Re: 21st Century Socialist Man
Well I am glad that Corbyn has been reconfirmed as the Labour party leader and I am looking forward to a favourable outcome when he contests the next general election.

Blair did that and it got us all where we are now.
"Old Labour, New start". Reinstate the party of Hardie, Attlee, Bevan, Wilson.
The world will look a very different place by 2020 in any case. There is a near certainty that the world financial system will have collapsed by then.
