I got the name from the 2000AD comic, the character being a sort of stone age psychotic dwarf who carried a big club. Funnily enough, IDS seems to have copied his tactics - stone age thinking and battering anyone and everyone he doesn't like.<br /><br />Corbyn reminds me of Farage and Boris Likeable characters but don't let them have any real power. The good thing is all these Blairite types buggering off to the back benches. As with too many politicians these days, they all look the same. Corbyn will certainly get Labour back up, but only enough to produce a hung parliament, and that will be to the SNP's advantage.

I know you wanted a Corbyn win, as I, and most Munguin readers did.<br /><br />I'm really happy and I was chuffed by his speech, and by his attitude in general. I note that he has asked for an appointment with Bercow to discuss the manner of the conduct of PMQs, for which he has no time.<br /><br />I can't wait to see the effect his polite good manners will have on Cameron and his snide slime-ball behaviour at PMQs.<br /><br />I have no idea where all your vitriol about SNP came from. Not necessary. Nicola Sturgeon was one of the first to send her congratulations. I think most SNP people are delighted.<br /><br />I'd hope that the SNP and Labour would work together to defeat the sheer horror of people setting themselves alight in job centres, having to steal Mars bars to stay alive, because they have been sanctioned by morons in the jobcentre because they can't understand how to fill in forms.<br /><br />I hope we will work with Mr Corbyn to stop the renewal of trident and the waste of hundreds of billions for a weapon that is out of date and no earthly use, and which if we used it, would probably signal the end of the world as we know it.<br /><br />I hope we will work together to make Cameron and his Eton/Oxford cabinet behave like human beings over the refugees.<br /><br />Mr Corbyn is against independence for Scotland. He is a unionist. So I disagree with him on that, but people who know him suggest that he is a democrat. If Scottish people want to be independent he will not fight them. And you'll never hear an insult from Jeremy. He'll never behave like Darling, Brown and McDougal.<br /><br />We've a lot more in common than we have that separates us.<br /><br />Let's all cheer about the change that has happened today. As far as the SNP is concerted we now have an ally in Westminster, where we had an enemy. We'll worry about independence once we've punctured Cameron and his visceral hatred of the working classes.<br /><br />I look forward to your post on the refugees.

Corbyn was elected under a democratic vote, so Reed could have at least had the courtesy to wait for Corbyn to set up his shadow cabinet. If you are an MP or MSP, you must show loyalty to the leader, unless there is a specific policy you disagree with.<br /><br />I think Corbyn might cause a few worries for the SNP. Some of his policies are in cloud cuckoo land (well, to be fair, every party has some strange policies). However, he is quite articulate and does not conform to the manufactured politician we have had to suffer for a few years.<br /><br />zogAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-84978353718515765642015-09-12T16:35:54.364+01:002015-09-12T16:35:54.364+01:00Labour like blood sports and that is what is going...Labour like blood sports and that is what is going to happen.
