It was on tonights news that the Lib Dems aren't even on target to get as many seats as last time and Jo thinks she could become Prime Minister
Another Jarra lad..although Hebburn as well.. I vote leave, I cannot stand Corbyn.... but Bonko is far worse... besides it would kill me to vote tory... got into politics because of the dreadful Thatcher... Bonko could be worse, cos he does not have a clue... a lot of the time he may not even be lying as such.. he just never read briefs and just makes stuff as he goes along.. so often contradicts hinself.. A bit like trump is not really president for the USA, he is president for trump... bonko wants to PM for his own personal ambition..
If you replaced the word Bonko for Corbyn, I would agree with every word. He is literally u-turning on everything so he can get into number 10. So much for being a man of principle. Not sure if you are aware of the Jarra soldier killed in N Ireland during the troubles? The IRA blew him up and before his body had returned home Corbyn was pictured having a laugh and a meal with Adams and McGuiness. I'd rather jump off the Tyne Bridge than vote for Corbyn. Seriously. I don't mind Thatcher, either. Look at the meme above about the winter of discontent. That was all the doing of the unions and Labour. Thatcher correctly smashed the unions. I have no issue with that because they were ruining the country. Who would want their sons going down the mine in this day and age? She did a lot of people a big life changing favour when allowing people to buy their council homes. I have always jumped between Jarra and Hebburn, too. Are you my brother?
I stand to win 10 thousand pound if Labour lose the Jarrow seat. They say it'll never be done. That's not the vibe I'm getting off everybody down there. It'll be close.

He was never involved with Rees-Mogg or any of that lot before the referendum, or in slagging off the EU. When the referendum came along he thought he could gain credibility by supporting Leave (thinking Remain would win), then shat himself and ran away leaving Theresa May to become PM unopposed.
Had a Christmas lunch with 30 odd old curmudgeons like myself. A couple of the usual suspects voting tory. Generally the rest of us labour supporting, but a significant point is that many were not going to vote, could not bring themselves to vote tory, and usually citing Corbyn for not voting Labour.
I believe labour supporters will kick themselves for keeping Corbyn if you don’t get in by rights you could of walked it if you’d had the right leader
Bang on. Anybody but Corbyn would have Labour winning this GE. He wants the glory for himself, though. No way would he have stepped aside for the good of the party.
It's all about him. He spent so long being a backbench joke, this is his chance to show everyone that laughed at him what he can do. He won't give that up easily. He's a very well-balanced man though - he's got a chip on each shoulder.
WTF. !!! The Tories have had 3 leaders in No. 10 in the last few years. You vote for a party and what IT stands for - this is not a presidential election. Each party is not slow in dropping leaders when it suits. In the 10th year of Tory mafia lining their pockets - FFS give the other side a go for sure they couldn’t do worse for the purse of working families. JC4PM
But what the Labour party stands for has changed since Corbyn came in. It's not the same party as under Blair at all- its moved much further to the suburban middle class left. So how can you rigidly 'support' one party when the people running it change and consequently the party's policies and values change? Surely the sensible thing to do is vote for the party that's going to the best for the country or your part of it? I don't see how anyone can argue that the massive spending and increased taxation of EVERYONE that that will require that Corbyn advocates is in the country's best interests.
