i expect he will get good levels of support from Arsenal supporters. Not so much from Tottenham.

Eze Peasy at Anfield....

Vote splitter and a chance to hurt Starmer

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

Cyanide or hanging.

I wouldn't vote for either.

If Corbyn stood and won there are 2 ways he could go as London mayor.

1. He does a superb job of running TFL the police and his other Mayoral responsibilities thus sticking two fingers up to the likes of me who reckon he is all protestor and not capable of effective leadership.

2. He uses the post as a club to hit the Tories and involve himself in stuff not related to his Mayoral duties. A sort of Khan on steroids.

My guess it would be 2 he couldn't help himself sticking in the boot in on Palestine or Ireland or Iran.

One more point

Rock and a hard-place, I agree. But in my fantasy scenario, you have to vote for one.

Suspect Corbyn would be more the anti-Establishment figure so ticks boxes, at least on that score. But Khan is also more likely to bend with whatever wind is blowing and might, as crazy as it sounds, be the stability candidate.

Corbyn is principled, or at least a lot more than Khan, but again, not necessarily a good thing.

I guess ultimately the Mayor of London is nothing more than glorified bus inspector given that it is only TfL he runs but still an dilema.

Not sure myself. Need time to ponder.

I did say when compared to Khan but that does not mean much to be fair.

I'm not surprised, there is plenty support for a United Ireland as a theoretical concept however once you get to the practicalities..

Do the Southern Irish want 1mm disgruntled Northern Irish citizens, probably not, so then how do you placate them? If you can answer that question you'll get a Nobel Peace prize.

Anyway I bet Corbyn as Mayor couldn't keep his nose out of it.
