How stupid is Corbyn getting

I can't get that image of Steptoe that someone posted out of my head!

Although I have to admit that JC is better looking...

Doesn't he buy his vests from a market stall near where he lives?
Hope they are not produced by slave labour, surely they must be Fair Trade?

DM would have approved of wearing a vest, however, she would not have thought it seemly for DF (committed socialist though he was) to go around showing his vest!

Apologies to Anya, must have missed that one.

Having been accused of the sin of levity on the other thread,( coatgate!)we will now be harangued about vests, and our lack of seriousness at all times while we discuss JC.

It was in Anya's post of 15.41, roses!

Wonderful! Why didn't I think of that Ana?

Marx & Spencer!

Nightowl, think you are wrong there, we have friends who are middle of the road Labour voters and they are worried,and they won't be the only ones.
I. Don't think anyone has doubts about his integrity, more, can he be a credible leader, and future PM.

Who knows Anya? Your guess is as good as mine, regarding stray dogs ,
So, it is M&S for the vests.... Well, maybe, but Private Eye isn't Gospel, so maybe not. on the other hand, apart from M&S there are not too many places these days selling vests, so the probability is, that he does buy them there, but I am unable to quote facts and figures and have no links to post.

I don't think middle of the road labour voters are scared by him rosesarered, nor do I think they are worried that JC could wreck Labour's chances at the next election. After all, the party as it stands didn't appeal sufficiently to the electorate at the last election and it can hardly move any further to the right without tripping over the Conservative party. I do think some Blairites within the party are rattled by the support JC seems to be getting, probably because they realise their style of politics is over. I have no idea who will be the eventual leader of the party but as others have said, I think JC has done us all a favour by reminding us that principles and politics can co-exist and endure. Love him or loathe him, he has stood true to his beliefs for longer than many new Labour politicians have been alive and he is IMO a man of integrity.

I think he would pat stray dogs Rosesarered

Private Eye seem to think he buys his vests at Marx and Spencers too.

But not the jam bottling.

I made up the M&S vests as well.

I made the stray dogs bit up.

Do you suppose he buys M and S underpants to go with the M and S vests? If so, why not, it's what most of us do. I'd rather he patronised M and S than Gieves and Hawkes, for example, at least it goes to show he is one of us rather than one of them (ha-ha - if you see what I mean!)

Emmm....Rosearered I'm quite a fan of home-made jam and as a dog lover, you might just have tipped me into the JC Fan Club.

but then again there's the M&S vests....so perhaps not

Blair used to be called Teflon Tony.The whole lot of Labour MP's could do with some velcro to hold them together at the moment.
Why do people keep saying that so many others are scared of Corbyn and his popularity? the only scared ones are in fact, Labour in Parliament, and middle of the road Labour voters, and they are worried for good reason, as they believe Corbyn and the far left could wreck their chances at the next GE. Nobody else is bothered, and the Tories must be hugging themselves with glee! Quite a few are amused by the almost 'canonisation' of JC, and the anecdotes put about, including bottling his own jam,patting stray dogs on the head, and increasing M& S's sales of vests.Every day brings a new gem, a pearl of wisdom from either him or his camp. how did we ever manage without him? In fact, once the new leader is chosen, him or A.N.Other, things will be much less exciting.

Well personally I'd prefer Velcro to hold the party together, but if it has to be s**t something else then so be it [yukky emoticon]

No definitely Teflon so the s...t doesn't stick there will plenty of it being thrown.

To hold things together

Teflon? That's non stick

Surely you mean Velcro?

He will need a coat of Teflon if he gets the leadership. Hopefully social media will be able to provide a balance.

I agree, Iam, genius. I also agree about Miliband. However, he had the press against him. Corbyn seems to be able to deflect press criticism, and if he has Tom Watson for deputy, he will definitely be able to deal with the press.
