Next Labour Leader - Miliband Resigns

[mat]

Very much so, we have become a risk averse society. Mind you, only time will tell with Corbyn. I think his media advisors have their work cut out for them. I heard a report on the radio this morning and they said the race was between Andy Burnham and 'left winger' Jeremy Corbyn. That was from the BBC. I'm no tree hugging conspiracy theorist, but that is rank bad reporting.

Corbyn has refused to talk to the BBC because of it.
He was due to speak on Andrew Marr tomorrow but refused because of the personal attacks on both him and his family.

I'm a bit surprised he's not going on to have a go. However, there has been a shocking amount of negative reporting around the fella, but I'd rather see him go on and fight his corner.

I doubt many would disagree with what you have said. i don't, however, for me that is exactly what is wrong with UK politics. Politics is not about what was and sticking with the old and tired. Tories stuck in Labour wards and their vote never counting, so they drift and vice versa. This fella has won his seat every time since 1983 and he has said people are sick of the way things are and people are sick of it. He may not change much or even the world and he may not get the chance but he is having a go and he is becoming more popular on the back of it. He will garner even more support when Camoron tries to wade in with whatever he has been accumulating.
So what if he talks with terrorist groups, they usually end up talking anyway, when the UK realises it needs something from them, mind you in the week the biggest arms conference in the world is taking place in London, the Tories and diet Tories do love a good war. At least he can look at every single dead and injured soldier's loved ones in the eye and know they would not have died or been injured if he talked and looked for solutions. Tony Bliar and Dave the Twat cannot, Dave supported Tony and his pack of lies, there is a lot of blood on their hands.
As has been stated elsewhere, now at least there is two party system and people can look at a real alternative rather than diet Tory and if that does not engage them, fair enough but at least he has had a go.

Spot on. I stand to personally lose a few quid if corbyn comes to power, but sometimes we have to look further than our own interests even of it goes against the grain for those of us who grew up under Thatcher.

He's very much a pragmatist,this is a stand to say he's not playing the new labour cushy interview game.

Both points i agree with wholeheartedly.

We will have some very difficult debates now rather than the veer around them which hopefully will get the countries interest in politics relit, regardless of your political persuasion.

Pleased that Corbyn won. It's good to see Labour go back to their socialist roots, and provide a genuine alternative to the Tories.

You have to laugh!

If Jezzer can't bring himself to speak to the nation on the BBC because he considers them moral pygmies who don't deserve to broadcast his fine utterances - I call it a brave beginning.

Fair one. Maybe he's just saying to the BBC 'play fair or you can fuck off'?

Just read a bit in the Torygraph about how many of the Shadow Cabinet will now resign - bunch of made arses.

Interesting times ahead.
