new labour leader.

[Devonian]

Well said SS.i think he will last just to spite the torys

I think Labour actually have far more of an issue with him than the Tories do!

His appointment is a massive misjudgement and error, instigated solely by the Labour Party grandees. You would have thought they would have learnt a lesson following the previous appointment of Millipede.

[bigpaul]

some of his appointments make me laugh out loud, for instance his shadow agriculture minister is a life long Vegan who thinks farming is cruel!! like she's going to work well with the farmers isn't she?? you couldn't make this stuff up!

[Devonian]

Yep any credibility that Labour still had, is being rapidly erased!

[Tigs]

I was willing to give him a chance until yesterday,where during the 75th remembrance of the battle of britian he stayed silent throughout the entire national anthem! Even if he is a republican, it showed total disrespect the those airmen fought and died during the battle of Britain.

[Barneyboy]

No it didn't tiggs ,doesn't like the royals so why sing god save the queen ,I don't like the royals ,but I respect the armed forces

[Devonian]

The guy is just completely out of his depth, he is not cut out to lead the Labour party, let alone lead the country!

[Barneyboy]

Because he didn't sing dev ?

[bigpaul]

as he is a well known Republican I think he would have been shot down in flames if he HAD sung the national anthem! damned if he did and damned if he didn't.

[Barneyboy]

I agree BP

[Devonian]

Because he didn't sing dev ?

No nothing to do with the singing, just look at the way he carrying himself, the way he is struggling to cope with the press, he may improve in time, but I get the feeling he's more likely to explode.

PM Questions today should be interesting to see how he copes.......
