Not my mate it didn't.
Admittedly he's working now but spent 17 years on incapacity benefit after getting a Rash working in fish finger factory.
We you to called him a workshy bastard and get a different job.
He said what's the point I get £170 per week sat at home.
Now he says he much prefers working which is a good ( and surprising ) thing.

He prefers it because he probably felt useless and in a rut. Who wouldn't?

Baroness Thatcher famously slept 4 or 5 hrs a night and spent untold hours reading up all the documents / policies pertaining to her role as PM.
Contrast that workload with Corbyn, who has spent decades slouching on the backbenches, job and knock, and then going home to his Peruvian quilt-weaving.

I think the Blair/brown tenure was a decent barometer of what to expect? But all the lefties on here don't Seem to want to talk about that? Anyone found the weapon of mast destruction yet? And the famous good luck note on their exit!

New Labour wasn't really social democracy. It continued Thatcher's economic model of Austrian School neoliberalism and completely abandoned Keynesianism. Blair was centre-right, Obama was centre-right, Bill and Hillary Clinton were centre-right, Macron in France is centre-right etc. At least on economics, they're all centre-right. Corbyn was just a return to Keynesian social democracy that is still practiced in Scandinavia and the fact anyone thinks he's a Marxist, a Trotskyist, a communist or even a socialist for that matter is laughable and just shows how far to the right Britain has become since Thatcher; he's centre-left at best.

Corbyn, McDonnell, Abbott etc. were all opposed to the Iraq war and voted against it. May and most Tories supported Blair and voted for the war. The responsibility rests largely on them more than Corbyn or the current Labour Party.

I know you have me on ignore but I have to say that post actually made me laugh out loud.

Peruvian quilt-weaving.

<laugh>
 
The best irony to come out of this election is that the Tories will have to jump into bed with a bunch of religious extremists after campaigning on the issue of national security against religious extremism. <laugh>

I would think quilts are stitched not woven. But them Peruvians don't work to BSI.
Wonder if spoons are really whittled or are they Wethered?
