Corbyn was smeared and knifed so ruthlessly by the media and his own party that he was loyal to for so many years. I really feel for the man.
@StephenLewis-j6i
The working people of this country need to rid themselves of the US / MOSAD lice, and take back control of the country. Foreigners are not the enemy . The enemy is the bankers and the big offshore corporations.
@sharonb7437

@Dal-g4j

@StephenLewis-j6i
Why does this man get seen as the enemy . I would love to have a conversation with him. I have seen the country change for the worse over the decades due to the greed an misappropriation of taxpayers money.

Prices will always go up when you raise costs or demand is higher than supply. More accomodation, in the rightplace and the right size are needed or demand will always push up price. Artificial prices have not helped get more homes built, quite the opposite. Get the economy working!
@Mark-j5z1k
Far - Left Extremist Jeremy Corbyn went down in my estimation as a former misguided Labour voter when he travelled all the way to Gaza before he became Labour Leader and met the Terrorist Leaders of " HAMAS" . How does he still get air time is beyond me . unbelievable !! .
