I have to say, Corbyn was far more effective today, now he's dropped the 'ask the people' stunt. (Though the two tory questions taking the piss out of it was amusing.)


Corbyn's calm approach worked quite well and, with a meaty issue like tax credits, it meant he could doggedly re-ask questions of Cameron.

PMQ day. This week Corbyn was pretty boring. Tried to re-use last week's successful tactic (indeed, the exact same question), but Cameron was far too streetwise to get cornered twice. He then tried to use public questions again, and that was as ineffective as the first time. He really needed to push Cameron on the growing junior doctors debacle, but it was only vaguely touched upon.


Tom Watson had a poppy this week, but the real scene-stealer was the woman sitting behind Angela Eagle, who seemed to be sporting a orange and black version of the Mr Blobby outfit.

There have been a load of really stupid stories, and the 'not bowing' one was just the most recent. To be fair though, there have been plenty of serious articles about Corbyn and the bizarre position the Labour Party is now in, where half the front bench disagree openly with the leader on core policies. Corbyn supporters have been branding every negative story a smear, and that's not accurate either.
@DaveR - sure, that's of course true, but regardless of what one might think of Corbyn, some sections of the media seem to have completely jumped the shark. I heard someone on LBC calling for Corbyn to the charged with treason in all seriousness. It's quite breathtaking.

The targeting of Corybyn by the Sun/Mail etc is completley counterproductive as people start to ignore it all and even symptahise with him, understandably so


You really don't have to look very far for idiocy in terms of his policies and appointments to date rather than his personality, so why the mail etc are going for the Poppy/Bowing non (made up) -story is beyond me

Completely agree quids. I switched the TV on to see a bit of the ceremony and I didn't think he was disprespectful at all (not that that's why I watched it)!


Trust the bloody media to turn it into an "issue" about Corbyn bowing/not bowing FFS. That's showing disrespect in itself. Look at his pixies. There's enough fodder there for people to debate.

Someone in the Guardian called for that General who criticised Corbyn's stand on using Trident to be charged with treason. Stupidity is everywhere.

EXACTLY!!! If they are so concerned about respecting our fallen / veterans, then why would they completely take the limelight from them on this day and divert everyone's attention towards Corbyn. Stupid hypocritical twunts.

Corbyn said he won't, Cameron says he would. Blair needed a replacement button.


It really doesn't matter - you can never know what they'd really do.

Well, it used to be a cast-iron rule that serving soldiers do not take overtly political stances or publicly attempt to affect policy, Here's one aimed at Cameron:

Treason may be harsh, but it's a very serious constitutional matter that serving men and women do not use their position to publicly engage in politics.

Corbyn's utterly predictable at best naive but in reality sanctimonious, 'virtuous' guff response to the killing of jihadi John today followed by tonight's hideous events in Paris tell me all I need to know about his suitability as a leader of anything but a fringe lefty pressure group. God help us all if he's ever in charge.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
