Interesting research I saw yesterday said fewer than 1 in 6 corbyn supporters were working class, so his main support comes from so called well off "clicktivists" Only 1 quarter of the 200,000 who signed up since last year to support him belong to a union However around 2/3 of them post socialist rants on social media while only 15% do anything useful like canvassing Edited by Pussay Patrol (30 Jun 2016 8.39am) Not really sure any of that is actually important. 25% in a union is above the national average. Working class in a post-Industrial society is an outdated concept given the impact on labour based jobs and 15% canvassing is pretty high for any party. Also, arguably social media is an exceptional way to communicate with people, compared to banging on their door when they're having their dinner, or out.

Yeah he might not be grinding the agenda axe...

Yeah he might not be grinding the agenda axe... And all the other allegations from other MPs? Some of course will be opportunistic but his supporters, either with or without his consent are at best treading a very thin line

There is plenty of evidence that even if Corbyn himself doesn't support it, violence and intimidation are indeed a tool being used openly by his supporters. He may preach a new form of kinder politics but those around him certainly aren't practising.

Yes you are, you are fully aware of his modus operendi and that has not stopped you from signing back up to the Labour Party to support him. If you were against it then surely you wouldn't have done that after not being a member for years? At the very least you are condoning the behaviour.

Brilliant news.... Another Corbyn win on upcoming Labour leadership contest is a big bonus for the right wing parties... particularly UKIP. Keep supporting him lads!

Yep. I heart Jeremy. Labour are screwed anyway. They can't go all out pro immigration and they cant go all out anti immigration. They don't know who their target audience is anymore. UKIP will clean up if the Tories don't deliver on Europe.

Corbyn has condemned those abusing and attacking / threatening other MP's. As do I. Corbyn will fight for his leadership cleanly, as opposed to the tossers in the PLP who have been cajoled by progress members and sections of the media. I agree with most of Corbyn's policies and have rejoined Labour to support him. He has kept the government in check on many things. Without him, rights of ordinary people would have diminished more.

OK ignore the facts.

UKIP will clean up if the Tories don't deliver on Europe. I suspect John Mann will stand once the dust settles, and he could be a very contentious candidate for UKIP - As he's a Brexit Labour MP, and likely to have support from Dennis Skinner and other exit Labour MP's. There are a few others but that could really throw the cat among the proverbials - as he'd be popular enough with the PLP, a long Eurosceptic, who backed the exit and lefty enough to appeal to the same people who support Corbyn.

Staggering that the best the PLP can come up with as a challenge to Corbyn is Angela Eagle. She has to be the most dour character I've ever seen, she couldn't convince me to leave work early and have a pint. She is the female Harold Wilson, but not as clever.

Thus, the unions are bound to accept her if Corbyn is ousted in order to ensure another hopeless candidate is stuck on the soap box who wouldn't attract flies.

It's all about presenting a business like model the City can trust while keeping the traditional Labour electorate on board. He may just have the face for that. However, the words "work cut out for him" doesn't even come close to doing that phrase justice.
