Corbyn is a man who despises pretty much everything this country has stood for.
  • He wants to get rid of and despises the monarchy
  • He clearly supported the IRA and whilst he purports to despise bombing of any kind he was quite happy to support the killing of our troops during the troubles in his blind support of the republicans.
  • He supports Hamas - a terrorist organisation describing them as 'friends'
  • He would destroy any relationship with the US due to his socialist dogma and hatred for Trump which is critical to our future success and negotiations for Brexit
  • If he could, he would get rid of trident leaving our country vulnerable to any kind of despot, but if you're not willing to say unequivocally you would use it what is the point of having the deterrent?
  • He would have let Argentina take over the Falklands - what does that say to the people of Gibraltar and the Falklands about their security in the future?
I've not even touched on his tax and spend policies where he dishes out freebies to his client state until the money runs out and the Tories have to take the brickbats for making the tough choices again to fix the mess.

Anyone who has the majority of a rational shadow cabinet resign believing he is not fit for office but have the hide of an elephant and still cling onto office is not a man I can trust. As for Diane Abbot as home Secretary, talk about having your blinkers on!!

That is not the CV of a man whom I want to be leading our country, or who I believe has the best interests of this country at heart.

I'm guessing there will be some who see some of the things I've listed as reasons to support him, which is each to their own, but I want a PM who puts the interests of the UK population people above anything else. Theresa May despite the recent blunders, strikes me as someone who will tell it as it is and not try to pretend that government can do anything and everything, spend what they want, without consequence. If anything she went too far with that in the manifesto and yet we claim we want honest politicians...

You want someone who puts the interests of the UK population first ........ you mean the people in poverty, the NHS and Education hammered by this government or the top earning 1% who have benefited from tax breaks ....... or both ?

Tory councillor on Croydon council. Former active member of the IRA. She didn't kill anyone but she was a gun runner.

Wouldn't vote for her either and if she was the Tory leader I wouldn't vote Tory.

To the Scots on here: if you don't want to live in a Tory chum paradise why not get over old Labour leadership and vote for new Labour? Scotland supporting Labour can put a stop to the Tories, voting SNP empowers the Tories.

Don't seem much different at all policy-wise to SNP either so you could give it all a test-run before having to think about independence again.

It's not as simple as that. We need our interests to not be subsumed within a Westminster focus. We need that strength to ensure we can fight out corner. The 40 former labour MP's did nothing to argue our case following the whip.

We have seen and still see Kabour go into collaboration with the Tories, councils recently. There is no way back for them. We do hope Corbyn wins and we will vote with his plans to make the whole of the U.K a fairer place, but we don't trust them with our interests re Europe and Trident.

The vast maj of people now voting SNP are like me ex labour, I was a member once. Times have changed, Brexit is going to be disastrous for us all and we don't want it. Not having SNP there undermines our ability to influence against a hard Brexit or indeed any Brexit.

There are going to be a few disappointed lefties on here in a weeks time I'm afraid. But watching the frenzy right now is hilarious! Keep it up chaps.

We are all pissing ourselves watching Tories arses going like rabbits nostrils.

The Tories may well win, but the landslide endorsement is gone. Her trying to paint herself as S&S is lying in hilarious tatters and every single Tory who has been up to bat has gone out for a duck.

Truly hilarious and reassuring that the shite the right wing media is peddling has been sussed due to the total ineptitude of the Tory campaign.

Hilarious indeed.
