He can't even lead his own party......

Rubbish, pete. He can lead the party, as shown by the challenge he successfully fended off.

What you are actually talking about is all the proto-Tory Labour MPs who just want a safe seat under a Tory Government, and who are actually terrified that if he DID get into power, he would sort out those wet nellies good-style...

The cult of personality around Corbyn is astounding.

he has led Momentum and backed by Lenmaclustit!
 
It's not a cult, it's an understanding of what the guy is about.

If you want to talk cult, talk Thatcher, or May at present. The Tories are past masters at cultivating cults - they should all be Kopites...
I'd disagree, the personality of Corbyn has been hijacked to create this mythical man who will solve all of societies ills. Corbyn even sort of pointed out in an appearance last week where he had to point out to his own supporters than people are allowed to ask questions like 'would reducing immigration to the UK be a good thing?' As the supporters bizarrely took it as an attack on Corbyn. It's posts like the one where you talk about him giving Labour MPs a lesson they'd never forget where this Corbyn as some superhuman force of nature that would turn politics on his head. Look at the event on the Wirral - if May had done that it would have been seen as shameless self promotion, with Corbyn it's seen as a political master stroke.

There's no doubt that Corbyn is a good man guided strongly by principal, but 35 plus years as a politician suggests he isn't going to upset the establishment he's been part of for so long.

I am a bit perplexed to find that Theresa May's speech this morning didn't actually take place in Wrexham, it took place in Gresford.

Given what historical event that community is most linked with, it is a bizarre place to turn up and launch a manifesto in. Its also a profound cheek, given that event and what they want to do in the surrounding area.
