This should be interesting…let’s see how much the Beeboid’s socialist posturing continues to be pumped across the airwaves when hardcore Jezza gets in…are they still up for a bit of socailism, red in tooth and claw?….
Jeremy Corbyn set to win Labour leadership, shock poll reveals
The latest polling, seen by the New Statesman, puts Mr Corbyn ahead once second preference votes have been taken into account.
On first preferences Mr Burnham is said to be winning with 39 per cent of the vote. Mr Corbyn is second on 33 per cent, Ms Cooper third with 25 per cent and Ms Kendall trailing in a distant fourth with just 4 per cent.
But Mr Corbyn’s popularity among members as a second choice means that under Labour’s preferential voting system he has a significant lead over his rivals.
One campaign staffer said: “He is on course to win.”
The Telegraph suggests you give him a helping hand…
How you can help Jeremy Corbyn win
Thanks to Labour’s new leadership rules, it doesn’t have to be a joke. Anyone can vote in the Labour leadership election. So if you’d like to help Mr Corbyn
deliver democratic socialism for allcondemn Labour to years in the political wilderness, simply follow our handy five-step guide:And so on….
It should be noted that the poll at the bottom of the page indicates that a lot of people support Corbyn because he represents a strong voice for the Left….which of course is the point of Labour if nothing else…..now it might be suggested there are too many PPE graduates that don’t really represent the working man in Labour….they represent the latte swilling very well paid types that infest the BBC.
Champagne on hold once more?
I don’t understand why anyone on the right – or middle for that matter – wants this nutter running what is, after all, still one of the major two political machines in the UK. Who knows what the next 5 years will bring? I’m sure there are circumstances where Labour could form the next government. After all, who a year ago – let alone 4 years ago – would have predicted that loonies from the Greek extreme left would be voted into power (well obviously not real power – that’s restricted to the EU – but still . . .)?
Getting Corbyn as Labour’s leader is not good for anyone who still wants some kind of mature politics in the UK – well England anyway. Sure, with Corbyn at the helm Labour might implode but, again, it might not. After all it’s not as if there’s a solid base of common-sense trade union leaders and real-world experienced front benchers to confront him. Corbyn’s elevation would not just be a tragedy for Labour: it could be a tragedy for all of us.
The guy is a teenager in a man’s body. A most fitting leader for Liebour. I’ve always found that leftists get stroppy and aggressive when anyone opposes their infantile worldview. Pathetic bunch. These idiots are anti-English, too; their allegiance is to an international socialist movement that (until it involves a dole cheque or pocket money) eschews national sovereignty and patriotism. It is their loathing of our country that is behind their electoral failures; but, they cannot see this. They really are a bunch of treacherous prats.
i mean.it was quiet a frightening scary interview to be honest,i felt violence in the air when mr corbyn exploded into that prolonged rage of anger,here is a man that if elected as labour leader could have his finger on the nuclear button if he won the election in 5 years time,beware isreal and the usa i would say there,mr corbyn really showed the true colours of the angry left and the far left in this country and it always has a hint of anger and violence in the air as proved by that revealing interview the future leader of the labour party mr corbyn gave on channel 4 news last night.
It will be interesting to watch the behaviour of the Labour Party, and its corporate comms dept the BBC, if Corbyn’s bid looks to be heading towards success. As far as I can tell, he is the only genuine old school left-winger in the running. The rest are of the New-Labour brand ie they wear a thin cloak of left-wing-ness in order to pull the wool over the eyes of the drones that will vote Labour in a purely Pavlovian manner. The cynical career politicians know that the genuine article, Corbyn, would repulse enough voters with one half+ of a brain to make Labour unelectable. Therefore, he has to be got rid of. The tricky bit for the fauxcialists and the BBC is how.
I must admit I have paid my £3 and up till now thought voting for the Big JC a Great Lark.
The Telegraph are encouraging just such a strategy today.
The problem is, I suspect, that the vote is now being rigged by certain Gulf States and it seems highly likely that Corbyn will win as a result without any help from us amateur wind-up merchants on the Right.
That’s when the trouble starts: The same gulf forces will easily be able to manipulate voting in a UK General Election: with Postal Voting in the UK handed out like smarties and no id checks at polling stations plus HIGHLY MOTIVATED ground troops across the UK who will easily be able to motivate ALL the fellow travellers in their community to register to vote at friends’ houses in marginal seats.
It could well be said that Milliband 2 months ago suffered from the opposite effect because the same Muslim ground troops were very aware of his Jewish Heritage they simple could not be arsed to turn out early and often for him. Perhaps explaining why the polls got it so wrong.
By concentrating on election reform in the Trade Unions not General Elections, Cameron’s guns are facing the wrong way today. And he is very unlikely to worry about this until way too late.
I’d be happy to see Labour consigned to the wilderness, at least for 10 years or so. Socialist inclined voters will hopefully grow up and realise there is no magic money tree and become useful members of society again.
Saying that, there is a need for decent opposition otherwise the Government start coasting, and no-one really trusts Call Me Dave – at least on the issue of Islam or the BBC.
I suspect the rump of Labour MPs left after 2020 may turn anti-EU and try to forge a UKIP/disaffected Tory alliance.

“I’d be happy to see Labour consigned to the wilderness, at least for 10 years or so”
Have you no ambition?
I want the socialists to be known throughout the universe as the scum of the earth and so despised that they never get a single vote in the future.
Lower than vermin.
This guy is an absolute nutter, he has to be voted in for the libeour leader, they would be outcasts for decades. The only people he would appeal to are the Uni revolutionaries (that number is dwindling now that uni has been dumbed down to the level of an episode of TOWIE) and russell brand, everyone else would be shocked by his views.
Who can vote? I checked the website and discovered:
Standard Membership from £3.88 per month
Membership available to everyone over 14 years old.
Reduced from £1.96 per month
Those who are retired, are unemployed or work less than 16 hours per week. (The Labour Party for those who don’t labour).
Young Labour – 20 to 26 from £1.00 per month
For those who are 20-26 years old. (The reundancy is on the website).
There are other categories all at low or lowest rates. It seems all members, registered supporters and affiliated supporters who join before 12pm on the 12 August can vote. Registered supporters can apparently vote for free.
Why bother with expensive, low productivity advertising and campaigned when for £3.88 or less one can supply a guaranteed vote?
Apparently gender (sex?) or actually living in the United Kingdom and therefore paying the consequences of your vote, don’t matter, either.
if you click on this link:
https://supporters.labour.org.uk/leadership/1
Then you can register as a supporter for only £3.00 and get to vote in the leadership election. You don’t have to even be a member.
The Labour Party will be making a fortune out of this. Besides, it doesn’t matter, the Union block vote will select the leader anyway.
