Thought the BBC programme was fairly predictable last night. They know that the chances of Labour under Corbyn winning an election are extremely slim, which just means another anti-BBC Tory government until 2020; more than enough time for the corporation to be changed beyond recognition.
Auntie BBC has been more like Comrade BBC for a long long time now. Blatant left wing bias wherever you look. It's hardly surprising that the Tories have finally had enough of their loonie lefty liberal (small l) luvvie propaganda. It's high time the Beeb became the unbiased public service and entertainment channel it is meant to be.

Hyperbole in the extreme. The BBC is probably liberal rather than left wing in any real sense of the left, which places it roughtly in the center of the political spectrum. No means of communication about politics can be unbiased, the very nature of communication and language propergate individual bias and influence.

Interested how this always gets trotted out. Probably fairer to describe it as "progressive" though also have to note that its two most senior political correspondents Nick Robinson and Jeremy Paxman are both Tories
He's but a quiz host for the BBC.
He was also on the shortlist to be the Tory candidate for London mayor
I didn't say he wasn't a tory. Though he did say himself that he didn't vote recently.
He isn't a BBC political correspondant, senior or otherwise. He works for C4 now.

Jeremy Corbyn will make an excellent leader of the Labour Party.

Pretty slanderous talk there Matt.
Thousands have joined the Labour party since the result was announced today.
Interesting times.

Would those 'thousands' be the Trot 'affiliates' who paid the £3 to vote in the election?

An interesting journey to financial, political and electoral oblivion. The party that couldn't run the country elects a man who couldn't run a bath. Absolutely delighted with this outcome, fair to say.

Never a truer word said!
Supported Palace for over 69 years since the age of 7 and have seen all the ups and downs and will probably see many more ups and downs before I go up to the big football club in the sky.

Would be great - though unlikely - if he continued as leader till the next election.
Great for the Tories - and probably the Liberals too who could reoccupy their traditional left of centre ground!

[Link] That's a report about 14,500 people joining the Labour party since Corbyn the unelectable was elected. It doesn't include those that were 'barred' from voting, as they still remain members of the party having paid their 3 quid.
Interesting that he's asking the public to send in questions to ask David Cameron during PMQ this week, not sure if I approve. Not sure if it's a bit gimmicky. Truth is, mp's represent their constituents, so should know what constituents' concerns are. Parliament is a place for airing this, mp's are their constituents mouthpiece. Thats what they're paid for isn't it?
Tis pleasing to see that Corbyn has appointed a shadow secretary for mental health. A societal problem for which help and solutions are massively, massively underfunded.

Lazy f***er. Also said he's going to give other MPs a turn at it, which would indicate he doesn't want the PM to expose his foibles.
How can you appoint a shadow anything, for a ministerial role that doesn't exist?
Optimistic as ever

Nick.... as I said on the other thread.... the next PM in 2020 will be decided by the electorate, not by who has the most party members.
Labour supporters are most likely union members too and joining the Labour Party costs £3 doesn't it?
It will still be down to whoever is the most credible party leader.
At this stage it is difficult to imagine Corbyn overturning the general public's concern about Labour's economic credentials... especially as he's appointed his best mate as shadow chancellor.

McDonnell is an excellent choice. I've been banging on on here for ages about the failures of austerity. At last we have someone in a prominent position to put proper arguments forward against it.
You should be pleased that the government have an opposition at last, not like the Tory lite last lot.

Surely we will not need a Chancellor of the Exchequer under a Corbyn government as we will all be reduced to bartering?

What failure exactly - austerity is working - even the IMF changed their tune some time ago.
