I assumed he stays in Maidenhead - that's how I read his post anyroad. Aaah! - you may well be right. If that's the case I humbly apologise to aaid.

May repeating the same boring rhetoric to Tory party members, while Corbyn speaks very, very well. I think the polls will move massively between now and polling day. Tories to lose their majority but still win most seats. You heard it here first... That's a big shout. I'm not a gambler, but you'd get great odds on that. If your testicles were big enough of course. Good Luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep hearing this but it's not his fault that's he's got people like Mandelson working to undermine his authority at every twist and turn. I'd like him to be more Dennis Skinner-ish but you can't chcnge personality that easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like him to be more Dennis Skinner-ish but you can't chcnge personality that easily. I get that he's got the bulk of the PLP and the Blairite faction actively working to undermine him but in part his response - which seems to be to do nothing - highlights the leadership issues I see with him. I'm not saying you want someone who is completely authoritarian like May is but at times a leader has to be ruthless, especially when it comes to rooting out troublemakers. He should have moved to deselect some of the more vocal dissenters when he took over two years ago, people like John Mann, John Woodcock and the like and got rid of them. That would have sent a message to the rest of them and kept them in line. It might also have won him a bit of respect in the electorate in general.

Maidenhead United are being presented with the National League South trophy today and I half expect Maggie May to be there - and perhaps doing the presentation - maybe I'll get to have a word with her if she's going to be taking questions from ordinary constituents. BTW, this was nothing to do with me but kudos to whoever did do this. http://www.maidenhead-advertiser.co.uk/news/maidenhead/115075/eu-flags-appear-around-the-town-on-europe-day.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
