Jeremy Corbyn 'most unpopular opposition leader of past 45 years', says poll
The survey by Ipsos MORI for the Evening Standard gave the Labour leader a net satisfaction rating of -60, with just 16% of voters pleased with him and 76% unhappy.

That means Mr Corbyn is even more unpopular than former Labour boss Michael Foot, who had an approval score of -56 in 1982, the year before he was routed by Margaret Thatcher in a general election.

-60 <laugh> what have our Labour friends got to say about that?

Keith Vaz’s Constituency Chair Resigns, Damn’s Corbyn as “Hoki Coki” Leader
You must log in or register to see images
The chairman of Keith Vaz’s Leicester East Constituency Labour Party, Councillor John Thomas has written to Jennie Formby, the party’s General Secretary, cancelling his membership of the Labour Party after 30 years and resigning as the chairman of the Leicester East CLP.
“This is great disappointment to me, realising that I have spent over 30 years of my life working for a party that I now know that I have nothing in common with. This is not the party I joined, the party for decent working people. I can no longer follow the clown that leads the Labour Party, he is heavily influenced by the Trotskyite Len McCluskey and is now as the Hoki Coki leader, in out, and shake it all about he has turned this great party into a laughing stock.
Please cancel the direct debit made in favour of your party by me and return all money’s taken by you through Leicester City Council Labour Group to me. I am also shocked that you have chosen a candidate who is a Councillor in Jeremy Corbyn’s Islington CLP to be the Labour Candidate for Leicester East for the next General Election. Where is the democracy in all this? It is a fix and a disgrace.”
His resignation speaks for itself…

Then again he was happy to support the MP who has such a questionable record and spent the best part of three years doing everything possible to avoid scrutiny, he wasn't known as 'Vazeline' for nothing. That said his comments are spot-on...
 
Nothing will be perfect. This deal without the backstop is the best to move forward. And we re in step with the EU which maintains goodwill
We shall await for an economic impact assesment on this 'great deal' then hey, just like we will wait for the russian report. Borisov is very good at not telling us things. Both of the above should be vital and if either were positive dont you think they would be out there helping the electorate make up their minds.
