To me, whilst its funny, its actually the interrupter who comes off as the t***, wasting peoples time with quips and jokes, rather than doing his job and listening and letting people actually address the commons etc. I don't really see how it paints Corbyn's merits or aptitude at all, it just shows mentality of British Politics. Its like the kid who disrupts class, to make his mates laugh. Bad day Jamie? If you want to be serious about it, it demonstrates how Corbyn doesn't think ahead and avoid this sort of reaction which makes him an unlikely candidate to ever make PM. Cameron doesn't make these gaffes. Performance at the Dispatch Box tells us all we need to know about Corbyn as a potential PM..... useless and a laughing stock.

Why not? He's no more of a liar than most politicians - Cameron is very economic with the truth most of the time now and is backing a campaign he doesn't believe in. Anyway it was another bad day for your mate Jeremy yesterday in the Commons. He stood up to speak after Cameron finished a long speech and as usual met with jeers and started "This last few weeks I too have been to Brussels to meet with my socialist comrades, and do you know what they are saying?" Quick as a flash some wag shouted out "Who are you?" The house erupted with laughter from both sides of the house which went on for ages until the speaker restored order, and yet again Corbyn showed us his merits and aptitude to be PM. This is the amn you want to lead the country?

This person made ONE quip which hugely amused the "House" adding to the theatre and entertainment.He never interrupted constantly and my goodness there was a lot of "Addressing" of the house and listening by the MPs.

Apparently the performance of England at the Euros might have an impact- so we'll probably end up exiting the EU as fast as England exited the Euros at the group stage! You're probably right... LOL As some else said on this thread earlier - our showing in the Eurovision Song Contest reflects how well the rest of Europe like us so we might as well leave the EU anyway.

Cameron never even managed to secure an "Opt Out" with regard to the dastardly "Eurovision Song Contest".

Ah, the Huffington Post, that beacon of impartiality. Yes indeed. Is there a beacon of impartiality? Was the first site I found with the Mair vs Bojo interview I could find.

Just like football. We invent it and then let it slip into the hands of Europeans who corrupt it and marginalised us. We didn't invent the EU so we have no chance there.

Norway do alright out of it don't they. And by the way it might just be me, but just what eaxctly export wise do we rely on Europe for ? Seems to me we are massive contributor to the Euro and the rest of Europe are bricking it in case we pull out, that would invetibley lead to house of cards collapsing. I say get the f*** out of the EU now. I do agree with your position but, and you may or may not know (some will/some won't) Norway have an open door policy/'freedom of movement' so they haven't effectively opted out of the fundamental concept of the EU. This is THE big issue to negotiate around. Get that and the house collapsing looks very possible. We export under 50% of our exports to Europe but find it hard to open up new trade agreements elsewhere in emerging markets because of EU rules. In 2008 to the EU fell below 50% for the 1st time and obviously non-EU exports rose above 50%. The trend is continuing. It used to be 66% exports to the EU. EU exports 10% of its goods/services to the UK. The monetary value of imports outweighs the value of exports hence they shouldnt want to cut their noses off to spite their face. £227bn worth of exports vs £288bn of imports. I cannot imaging Peugeot and Renault workers being pleased with raising tariffs on their unreliable cars beyond 3 years if Japanese cars made here carry no tariffs at all. Same with German kitchen appliances. Just needs someone with the bottle to do it. Edited by Rudi Hedman (23 Feb 2016 2.34pm)

I say get the f*** out of the EU now. and Norway,just like the other EEA countries,has EU free movement of labour...because that's the only "non EU member but getting a favourable trade deal with the EU" package they could get and which (just like we would)they had no choice but to accept because its essential to them... You ask what we rely on for export-wise re the EU.Well,for one thing,things like Japanese car companies having plants located here because of the guaranteed access to EU markets for the cars...Same applies for us being a desirable European HQ location for many international companies....and that's not to mention the negative effect on our standing as a (the?) major european financial centre if we were out of the EU...

Edited by legaleagle (23 Feb 2016 1.54pm) That is scaremongering on a David (I’m s***ting myself) Cameron scale. The Norwegians still trade with Europe, in fact pretty much just about every piece of fish you eat is imported from Norway, Australia seems to do OK, so do most other countries, and whose to say the car firms or bankers would up and leave anyway ? We would still be able to trade with Europe, but we wouldn’t be tied to some of the barking mad loony’s in Brussels, the only business leaders s***ting a brick are the ones that stand to lose personal fortunes if we pull out as they are heavily invested in European interests.
