Party finances of a couple or tens of millions is not quite the same as running the U.K. and overseeing its economy. I’m really surprised you have even posted this....,

Well, you did say he couldn't run a whelk stall. His tenure as Labour leader would suggest he is rather better at running its finances than other leaders were, so if you want a comparison then there one is.
 
It’s all coming out now...

Apparently the head of Hindu's has said he's also racist against Indians because (from what I could see) they had an opinion on Kashmir (namely that India ought to follow international law) and that they talk about Islamophobia. It seems an incredible conclusion to draw and I'd imagine one most will draw.

The head of the Sikh organisation has weighed in and said Labour (and I think) the Conservatives are neither anti-semitism nor islamophobic and the main prejudice is currently not towards either group )who get too much attention) but in fact towards Sikhs.

As someone who considers themselves quite vehemently anti-racist I can only say the whole episode is a farce and will not reflect well with voters. Racism isn't a competition and point scoring.
 
Lads, lads, I understand your need to defend the wonderful Oh Jeremy Corbyn, but even you must realise he is a liability to the Labour Party. The election is over, Boris has won, all that’s left is the arguments amongst the brothers and sisters as to who will replace him. Don’t make this harder than it is, get used to it and try and embrace a new Labour Party.....

Just a couple of questions Pete.
What makes you think the election is won? And why do you believe Corbyn is a liability? This is a man who added 4 million votes to Labour at the last election. How would you define liability?

Is the truth more, that he is rather the bogeyman to conservatives, who can't seem to grasp why he's so popular and how he seems to confound their polling expectations during election cycles?

I can completely understand why you want to see the back of him, but that's very different to making some of the assumptions above.
