You asked a closed question.

Good performance on TV from Jezza this morning and he is better than May at PMQ's and the focus is on the Tories weakest point the NHS.

Will there be a shift in public opinion to match at what moment do ordinary people realise they are not in a shared society they are being screwed.

According to an opinion poll carried out for the Sunday Mirror and the Independent, on the question of which party would make a better job of managing the NHS this winter, 43% said the Conservatives and 31% said Labour.

Yes, there was a similar result for the question;

Which party could best manage a piss up in a brewery?

That doesn't surprise me: I think the Conservatives could best manage most things.

I think that a dead cat could manage most things better than Labour and with their record, it's not surprising that a lot of people feel the same way.

Well,they have certainly best managed to get the NHS into its worst state in nearly 70 years of existence...where was it in 1997-2010?......a better state than now....QED.

He's not even in the same league as May at PMQ's... she wipes the floor with him!

This was his finest hour on PMQ's....

He does struggle at PMQs. It is obviously not his favoured forum.

Having said that I think May struggles as well (just not as much). Compared to David Cameron and Tony Blair, she looks awkward and clumsy in the chamber.

I like PMQs but with people like Blair & Cameron it became like a comedy show. The odd wisecrack fair enough but the validity went a long time ago, probably the ding dongs between Thatcher & Kinnock.

As for Corbyn, I just don't understand how people can rate him. Even when he floats an idea that is reasonably well received like last week, he and the Labour Party spend the rest of the day thrashing about trying to put out a coherent message. Then on Sunday he contradicts himself again when he must have known he'd be asked questions.

Performance at PMQ's makes little difference. Hague was brilliant at it - and in the Commons in general but led his party to a massive defeat.

Once the public make up their mind about a person it is tough to change it. Hague never recovered from the baseball cap on the rollercoaster and claiming to drink 24 pints a day - or whatever it was.

Similarly I dont see Corbyn recovering from his appearance of being a well-meaning but over-eager Sociology lecturer.

I don't think May has actually answered a single question properly at PMQ's. Anyone saying she does well is deluded.

And not very well at all, and there in lies the problem. Who is better Conservative or Labour at managing this or that, when the truth is they've both been s**t for as long as I can remember.

Neither is actually managing anything, other than 'the balance of power', the country hasn't been run for the people who make up its citizens, and the best interests of them ever, as far as I can tell. For me, it started with Thatcher, but only because I was too young, to see the f**k up before.

Both sides, play their power game, pander to their supporters, please enough swing votes, sell out the 'other half' to pay for it.

Corbyn at PM's Questions today. Big opportunity for him to closely question Theresa May after her Brexit speech. What was the best he could come up with - "irony lady". Although there is no chance of the likes of Corbyn coming to power, we do need an effective opposition to test the parliamentary process.

Is that not the point - if you are the PM?

I think some people forget PMQ's is a showcase of your talent to the general public.

Corbyn makes himself look a tw@t on TV and the public draw their own conclusions and don't/won't vote for him.

Pulling stunts like McDonell did with "the little red book" which backfired on him as Osborne easily upstaged him and made him look stupid doesn't help either.

Also choosing Dianne Abbott as one of your trusted inner circle shows complete ineptitude by Corbyn... she is an embarrassment to The Labour Party.

Well, these days, the questions from Corbyn are along the lines of "I've had a letter from Rubana of Leytonstone. She wants to know why her benefits have to be paid into a bank account or collected at a post office. She regards these institutions as Jewish conspiracies so won't use them> Why can't her £300 a week be delivered in cash by taxi?"
