    Hasn't been for a while now. His anti foreign meddling position is one of the few things I like about him. If he gets on board with the eurosceptic movement, so much the better.

    He is likely to be the most popular Labour leader and Prime minister of Britain ever ! I cant wait for 2020 elections to come by, in fact I hope he masterminds a coup and we have elections next year!

    He's not even in yet and he's already having an impact;

    David Cameron has indicated he will abandon plans to extend military airstrikes against Islamic State (Isis) targets from Iraq to Syria if Jeremy Corbyn is elected leader of the Labour party.

    In a sign of how the leftwinger could have an impact on Britain’s foreign policy, even as opposition leader, the prime minister said that he would only hold a parliamentary vote on the strikes if there is “genuine consensus”.

    Speaking in Madrid, the prime minister said: “I would only proceed going further on this issue if there is genuine consensus in the United Kingdom about it before going back to parliament.” The frontrunner for the Labour leadership is opposed to the current airstrikes against Isis targets in Iraq and to extending them to Syria.

    The government doesn't care, bodyshops give them nice cushy directorships, and there is an endless supply of indentured slaves to come over here

    We are expendible, get used to it or develop your plan B

    And it will be fun seeing friends of Corbyn meet one another, Hamas meeting Stonewall would be amusing

    Who's arguing ? I'm not a contractor. Dividend tax is exclusive to contractors then, is it ?

    They are worse because Labour did a half arsed job. The Tories are coming for us with a pincer movemment and a smirk on their faces.

    A contractor helping make sure this lot carry on regardless is like a Turkey voting for Christmas
