    It must be the A list of the most deranged, obnoxious, fascistic, fantasist arseholes on the planet.

    Putting up Farage as a judge on someone else's personality says it all!
    I created a thread dedicated to someone who fits that profile, Keir Starmer.

    I can't help but notice you have given that discussion a wide berth. Is it because you'd have difficulty refuting some or all of what's said of your leader and what he stands for?

    My leader?

    Pay attention Organ.

    I agree 100% that he fits that profile.

    He is not now, and never has been, my leader. I despise him for reasons I have detailed in the past (and upset Claude and Swiss Peter in doing so). I am ex Labour - partly because of Starmer.

    Starmer is a conservative insider, there will be virtually no changes.

    You couldn't upset me Jon, we just disagree on Starmer and Corbyn.

    I respect your viewpoint and apart from the above I tend to support the views you outline on this MB

    She probably knows Corbyn better than almost anyone so what she says about his views on Brexit rather confirms most peoples suspicions.

    Not listened to it (yet). Corbyn was on the Newsagents podcast on 3 February. Interesting discussion where he repeated that he is and was an EU sceptic. But he did follow the party line pre referendum, even if not enthusiastically. He also did over 100 trade union meetings on Brexit that got no news coverage where he continued that scepticism but asked for a Remain vote - according to my mate who was a Unite rep on one of the NEC sub committees (and Chair of Sheffield Trades Council).

    He (may mate, Martin Mayer) was expelled last month for sharing a speaker platform 4/5 years ago with one of the Labour organisations that was subsequently proscribed. Retrospective thought crime!

    This is one, of many, problems I have with Corbyn as leader of the Labour Party.

    Most knew that he was, at least, eurosceptic and probably full on anti-EU and if he was as honest and decent as you say then he should never have led what is a massively pro-EU party. Membership of the EU is hardly a minor issue and surely the leader must be fully behind major party policy.

    Once the party and it's membership backed remain he should have resigned the leadership. As a supposed man of principle I'm surprised he didn't. Or perhaps he isn't as principled as you think and he abandoned them to keep the trappings of high office.

    She knows stuff no one would want to know or even imagine about him.
