Sickening.

Joey, the way Corbyn has handled himself over the lies, slurs and innuendos during his election as leader of the Labour party and this General election, should indicate that he has the ability, nous and strength of character to negotiate with the EU.

The Tories May, Johnson, Davis - and wasn't there another bloke who was hailed as the saviour of the UK - haven't exactly covered themselves in glory during this election campaign and before. The u turn over putting self employed national insurance contributions the same as those on PAYE - something they claimed was the right thing to do because of fairness - should indicate that they can't even think things through at leisure. What they will be like under pressure I dread to think. The Tories usual megaphone shouting at the EU is not going to work.

The u turn over her social care policy - whereby her husband's company would have had a nice little earner from the changes - highlighted how bad she is when it comes to thinking things through. It is the Tories who get in a pickle when they have to deal with the real world.

Corbyn = weak as P@ss a decent Labour leader v this lot would get in easy !

Except you can't accuse Corbyn with fiddling. Unless, you are not allowed to claim £8.65 for an ink cartridge.

It's very simple, if you honestly believe that Corbyn, Abbott and McDonald are the best to negotiate our EU exit then vote for them.......I'm sure Juncker, Tusk, Merkel and co will be pleased........

Make up your mind Pete, if it's about Labour then Corbyn and co are negotiating. If it's about the Tories, then none of them are negotiating.. or am I missing something?

May will not be negotiating, in the same way I suggested getting Brown on board, he would not be a negotiator. They just need to be the backstop. The EU will have the EU council and we need a robust and clear thinking oversight group.....

Yeah pretty much this. A competent Labour should be flattening the Tories given the circumstances; not just be delighted that they're "only" five or so points behind a few days before an election.

And that's just according to the traditionally left-leaning polls - I still completely expect a dominant May win.

Why would you believe that a woman who won't even debate her opponents would be any good at negotiating with the EU?

Some of his team will be involved in negotiations. Which one would you advise, Abbott ? .....

It won't be televised.....

It won't be televised.....

My point is, May has fought this election on the "who would you trust negotiating Brexit?" stance. I have seen absolutely nothing from May to suggest she is fit for that job. She's chickened out of debating her opponents. She's absolutely hopeless when put under any pressure in PMQs. I don't rate her at all.

Fair enough, who would be better then ?.....

Did some canvassing yesterday, and twice someone claimed that I was a terrorist sympathiser.

I put up with the "white genocide" claims in the EU referendum, with my reasoning that it was sheer stupidity.

But this is a line that's being pushed by the Tories.

Politics is supposed to be about discussing the real issues, the ones that people have to deal with on a day-to-day basis.

That's the conundrum really. I don't have much faith in any of them. I just think that singling out Corbyn as being particularly unfit to lead some negotiations is rich coming from May's side.

Unacceptable that.

But maybe you should be asking your party leaders like Abbott why she didn't think Al Qaeda should be illegal, and Corbyn why he lies about meeting the IRA and thought it was acceptable to attend a commemoration for a man who was involved in the murder of 11 Olympic athletes?
