    Now I can't disagree with some of those.

    In Hull, across the city - people of all ages enthused by Corbyn - although a mass young contingent present.

    Corbyn turns up with no or little security and anyone can come. He chats to anyone afterwards too.

    May hides away, evades, speaks in cliches, platitudes and soundbites - embarrassing.

    They came from Hull and the surrounding area in the main.

    As you'll know, the same (if not greater numbers) have been happening over the country.

    Anyone can turn up. No one's barred or selected.

    What's hilarious is that right-wingers think Labour's plans to increase corporation tax to 26% will cause businesses to relocate in Europe or the US, despite 26% still being lower than most of Europe and US. If businesses relocate elsewhere, it will be because of Brexit.

    As i said earlier the cake has gone, it's all well and good promising things the people would like but the money is not there. This applies to all the parties, they can move the spend around a bit but we are spending more than the income.

    Businesses pay more to the state than corporation tax dumbo.

    I will take your word about May, as she seems to be ill at ease with people (as is Corbyn to be fair, both natural introverts.
    He may make better rabble-rousing speeches to the converted, but she easily gets the better of him in parliament. This is because he is ill- prepared and chaotic.
    She seems Strong and Stable, but he just speaks for the Few(his far left coterie pals ) but pretends it's the Many.

    See my other post- she is not a great orator nor charismatic.
    But tell me, didn't the alarm bells ring when fat **** Prescott suddenly rocked up as chief RAH RAH Boy for Corbyn after previously rubbishing him and his leadership in public?
    Who needs an endorsement like that?

    Which is what exactly? You do realise Hull's three constituencies have consistently been Labour safe seats with massive for decades, right?

    Now you've just proved your claim earlier - you clearly haven't been taking notice.

    I heard Prescott rubbished Corbyn but can find little proof of it. No being twatty, but please link it on here.

    His son is a SPAD for Corbyn.

    Yes, it's not rocket horse science, Sherlock.
    Hull has been old Labour for decades. The modern hijacked Islington style 'Labour' party does not resonate with the mindset of this great old port city's electorate.

    You know they would vote for a red pillar box, right?

    We will judge her strength and stability when Brexit talks are in progress.
    And I won't see it as a strength if she puts 2 fingers up to the EU because of pressure from within the party.
    Remember that the people within the Tory party ( right wingers ) won't be the ones affected.
    They are very wealthy and can withstand any scenario for their vanity project.

    Doesn't alter the fact that Labour's policies won't drive businesses away; Brexit will.

    Corbyn's Neo-Keynesian policies are Old Labour, contrast with Blair's New Labour.

    >does not resonate with the mindset of this great old port city's electorate

    If that's true, I expect Labour to lose all three of Hull's seats then.

    The City is massively Remoan, as they fear their jobs will go to Frankfurt and Paris.
    The people who will be affected are the ones who have money.
    Which rules out of most of us who have no money to speak of.
    If you've never had Home Counties level prosperity and wealth, you've nowt to lose,
