MPs who have been trying to push Corbyn off a cliff for two years accuse him of driving them....off a cliff.

Now this is gobsmackingly hypocritical. Before he was elected the first time round, they said he will be useless.
When he was elected they rushed to every listening journalist to say he will be useless. They folded their arms behind him in parliament and said, see, he is useless. They briefed against him saying, useless.
They got Angela Eagle to challenge him, but she was useless, so macho little Owen Smith elbowed her out of the way but he was even more useless. So they said, OK, he won a new mandate but he is useless.
They fiddled with their phones and texted that he is useless. They ran to the media and said, we tried and tried even though they never tried, and they decided in spite of all their efforts that he is useless.
Do you know what I think, they are bloody useless...and treacherous...and the antithesis of socialism.

Id like the party to get behind him, they haven't as yet.

Once again not engaging in the crux of the argument but making disparaging comments about a poster. Good work once again.
Do you have examples of the PLP getting behind Corbyn? Do you not think the likes of Mandleson et al aren't out to get him?

I agree with the assessment on his electability. He will lose the next general election. Probably very badly.

But I do also think Nick is right. They've constantly tried to stick the knife in his back, brief against him in the press, encourage unsuitable candidates to stand against him, force him to stand down, etc.

Given he has now won two leadership elections they should just keep quiet and concentrate on trying to win as many seats as possible under his leadership at the next election. Because he obviously isn't going anywhere before hand.

I know his voting and speaking history means he can't expect any loyalty. But enough is enough. Just let the man try and do his job. It's not like he's not doing enough himself and with his team to fcuk up. The rest of the PLP don't need to keep sticking their boot in.

The bearded tramp had a dig at the PM at questions for the amount of funding being made available for grammar schools, Much to the delight of the shadow home secretary Diane (pig in knickers) Abbott, calling it a divisive policy, and that " he wanted a staircase for all, not a ladder for a few".

Him and truffle pig were of course put immediately back in their box when the PM pointed out HE himself went to one, as did one of the snouted ones offspring.

"Typical labour, taking up the advantage, then pulling up the ladder behind them."

If you can't win a war of words over an education system that is in total melt down then please just fcuk off you useless article.

Why? Because grammar schools have been proven rather than increasing social mobility to prevent it. Because they have been shown to contribute to an overall decline in standards. Because all the evidence says that grammar schools result in the poor being worse off.

Grammar schools are good for the select few that get in. For everyone else they are $hit.

Should also be said that Corbyn effectively ended his marriage because of a dispute over sending their kid to a grammar school. He wanted his kid to go to the local comp and his missus said no.

Look at every piece of educational research out there and it confirms that grammar schools are a bad idea.

I agree to the point that it's feels as though your child is being thrown on the educational scrap heap to a degree by being deemed non selective. We have just been through this whole process a few months ago and my son didn't pass his 11+ . I do agree the non selective schools should be sorted out and brought up to a better standard. I agree 100% BUT I have never made any secret of the fact that had my son passed he would have gone to grammar school in a heart beat. The results of those schools speak for themselves where I live. They are head and shoulders above the state sector. My other children will all be put through the selection system and should any of the others pass they will be educated at such a school .

I did well at school in the state sector myself 1 A*, 3A , 6B, 2x c grade at gcse and 2 a and 1 b at A level. I wish I had the opportunity to have gone to grammar school. I believe I would have done even better (croydon obviously didn't and still doesn't have the 11 plus)
