Jeremy Corbin
Well, as a lot predicted on here, Jeremy would not last long, it looks like half the cabinet are going to resign in the next few hours to oust him, they realise they will never win a general election with him as leader. Looks like a vote for 2 new leaders coming up. interesting times ahead, kt

Jim he would have got those anyway at the end of his full term, at least he stood up and was counted and realised his position was apparently untenable and did the correct thing, although I personally would have preferred him to stay on as he knows the machinations of the EEC system and may have got more concessions after the event, getting a sympathy vote from the other EC members with whom he had an affinity; alas Mr Corbyn does not seemingly have the same principles which is why a lot of his party members are walking down the gangway

Re: Jeremy Corbin
Ivan I definitely wanted him to stay on.What message is he sending out to the rest of the world,as we said at sea like a rat deserting a sinking ship.I would've prefered him to appear with George Osborne and Mark Carney and say right the people have spoken and we respect their wishes so it's business and usual and we are about to roll our sleeves up and get stuck in to making Britain Great Britain again.To be honest who would want todo business with a country where the Prime Minister chucks his hand in as the country is heading for disaster as they would think.Abandon ship and the captain is the first one over the wall.Cameron knows his way around Europe and the people there in,to have to find a new leader and cabinet etc could set us back no end.

Unfortunately Jim your #3 didn't reflect what you are saying now, or perhaps I mis-interpretated it!, I don't think it was a case of a rat deserting a sinking ship, I think it is what the people would have expected with him being a strong remain component, however there is a move within the party for him to remain and use his knowledge of the EC machine to get things moving in the right direction.

Re: Jeremy Corbin
I think Cameron was in a difficult position, he could not really negotiate the exit when it was something he did not believe in, the main worry now is we need a strong leader to negotiate with the EU cretins, who will be ready to cause trouble for us, the likes of Junke, so who is that going to be ? Johnson, gove?, I don't know that either are suitable. Corbin I believe was a disaster from day one, and let's face it, they will never win an election with him, he has as much chance as a pork pie in a mosque. It's time for a clean sweep for all of us, just my thought. Kt

Re: Jeremy Corbin
The media have been trying to track down George Osborne a far more important person than MaCDonald,he has not been seen at home or his usual hangouts.Maybe he is busy with the emergency budget that he promised us.
