We've reached the situation where Labour are probably facing electoral oblivion. He has played a huge part in that through his naivety but there have been other factors at play.
I cast my mind back to the first few years of the coalition. They were a complete and utter shambles in every sense of the word, yet by the end of their 5 years there was a narrative created that they were 'safe hands' for the country. The media created that and they've created the chaos that currently surrounds the Labour Party. Corbyn's team absolutely should've combated it in a more effective manner so in that sense they've only themselves to blame.
Pretty much every person in the country will tell you the Labour Party is in disarray now. If you ask 9/10 people why I very much doubt they'll be able to tell you. People get their politics in two minute snippets on the news or headlines from the front of the Daily Mail. If all you ever see is negativity then that's what will stick in your mind. The next Labour leader whoever that is has got to address this problem immediately. Unfortunately, I've no idea how they do it.
Some want him to be more measured and statesman-like (is that a euphemism for a liar I wonder?) and some want him to be even more passionate than this in his condemnation of these appalling things in government.
I answered someone else this morning who accused him of giving no leadership with this response.
Perhaps the dark controllers who stand well behind the mass media front-men have issued an edict which is this.
If you value your journalist's role and your future with us, under no circumstances are you to report on ANYTHING "good" the Labour party are actively pursuing. In interview, just keep on pressing him to reconsider his position as Leader of the Opposition.
A tad Orwellian perhaps? But if this is the case or whatever it is, it is conniving and illegally cunning and even worse, it's working.
Unless and until the Party can deliver its communications directly to the voters, the message will not be allowed to get through.
If my conspiracy theory is right - and how the party propose ever to get around that when the media moguls have firmly slammed shut their access doors is difficult to see - then the poll ratings will remain critically low, reinforced by the people ALWAYS being fed negative hogwash by the controlled media who will ensure at the same time they must never report anything positive.
It's another conspiracy theory but whatever it is, it's bloody working well in favour of the worst Tory government of my lifetime.
Wish we could get some journo with a modicum of principle to break cover and spill the beans on this theory and then the entire capitalist house of cards collapses as a consequence of their dirty manipulation and control over our allegedly "free press".
