High disapproval rates for all round. I note that with 7 weeks to go they have started to talk about working together in the national interest, it's taken the tawts two years to work that out.
I don't see how anyone can approve of any if them, they have all been shown up as incompetent.
Labour should easily be 15-20 points ahead with this pathetic excuse for a government and PM royally fûcking up everything they touch.
Labour has lost 100-150k (depending on who you believe) members recently who've wised up to the idiot. MPs will follow soon if he maintains his ludicrous stance on Brexit.
Adheres to his beloved "party democracy" only when it suits him. Massive hypocrite.

It has to be said from the outside looking in he has to be the dimmest leader Labour have had since inception. His every utterance appears to have been cadged from Tony Cliff and remembered by rote, outside of that he’s floundering.
In an age of microscopic 24-hour news dissection any advocate for change, especially leading advocates for change, have to have the acuity to react instantly to events and provide analysis on-the-fly. They have to be able to think on their feet, that’s not him by a country mile.
An idea isn't responsible for those who believe in it.

Remember this?
He still struggles with autocue, not to mention putting a fücking tie on. He really is a bit dim.

Tony Cliff? Ironically, he's Jewish.
The irony wasn’t lost on me as I typed.
I had a leftie throw a tantrum with me on here recently when I compared Abbott stumbling over autocue with one of Labour’s platform orators from decades past, funnily enough. He/she said it didn’t matter, I said it mattered in as much as it clearly demonstrated the absence of ability. If you can’t gain an audience in the first place how are you supposed to persuade it?

Political oratory is a dying art in this country. Michael Foot was the last great one in the Commons.
"I was never a bird on the unpinioned wing...when I got up to speak, I always knew precisely where every noun and adjective would go and how every piece of punctuation would bed into my speech. By contrast, the best parliamentary orators, like Lloyd George, FE Smith, Timothy Healy the Irishman, or even that shit Aneurin Bevan, their phrases were dictated by some inner God within.” Churchill.

Churchill’s inability to speak extemporaneously was renowned, he could write beautifully but he was no public speaker and if he was interrupted he went pieces.
I recall reading John Strachey recounting occasions where Churchill was on his feet in The House reciting a rehearsed point and the colour draining out of him as he glanced across at Maxton and Mosley sitting opposite, arms folded, winking at him.

It just shows how badly Labour is doing
When I put money on the Conservatives to win the next election, I was given odds of 7/4
Now they are on odds it’s not worth putting money on them
Corbyn today had the worst rating ever for an opposition leader
I got to laugh when the idiots talk about the Conservatives being divided (which they are). But Labour are in even worst a position
Two thirds of the parliamentary members of Labour can’t stick him
So what does that say about the Labour Larty
This country will never will never let a left wing party win an election.
Corbyn & Abbott. I’d vote for Mr Blobby before those two imbeciles.
Absolutely. Being governed by arms dealing treasonous criminals is the order of the day, and if anyone should challenge the status quo they're going to get more hassle from the media than Rick Parfiit did during his coke binge years.
If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face--forever.
