That's so poo poo. It's not even that negative. It's certainly not positive. It's boring. A really boring headline and a vaguely positive caption on the photo. It's like they're confused.

Rejected headline: Corbyn said a thing to paxman.

Its also kind of incoherent. So he's not a dictator but he also does not compromise?

Jeremy Corbyn explaining that he is not the Party is somehow the biggest headline grabber in the debate. Not May being openly laughed at by the audience. It's a phrase that only sounds weird if taken completely out of context.

Amazing, it's a mystery how the Guardian isn't making any money.

6 figures. What the blue perfect hell?

I now have a terrifying image of Corbyn in the James Bond role. There is an extended sequence where he looks very concernedly at M and talks about how we shouldn't really be destabilizing this country.

So what excuse can the Tories give to get May out of Wednesday's one?

So if Labourt and the LibDems were to form a coalition, would that guarantee a win?

No, FPTP is hilariously undemocratic.

Also The Lib Dems are snakes.

No, because we have FPTP.

If the LibDem vote were higher, an electoral pact would give a better chance - but as things are it's better for Labour to try to thrash them into 3rd place wherever they can.

I'd like to think that the one good cartoonist that the Guardian has, the guy who predicited the Trump would not be able to physically "See" Corbyn, was correct and we could have the sight of Corbyn offering Jam making tips to Donald Trump.

That's been the same unconvincing story among Corbynites for two years.

This Tory campaign is a shambles and labour is about to lose an election to it.

I mean that's one of the reasons he's been voted leader twice, as he wants to reform the party to return some power to the membership and also ensure that the left wing candidate isn't on the leadership ballot as a plp in-joke.

Most people would say your argument is becoming less and less convincing as Labour surges in the polls during the one period the PLP have shut the gently caress up.
