A big thank you to Neil Coyle for helping to make this result possible.

Rejoyce? Really-Labour has just let the working class population of this country down big time-they have gone for an unelectable leader and the Tories will be back in power again after the next election-even the Labour MPs can see this hence the big move to distance themselves.

Despair, just despair!

What's the point of electing a Labour government when their policies are indistinguishable from those of the Tories? It was New Labour pseudo-Toryism that lost the last election.

It's really great news that Jeremy Corbyn has been elected leader of the Labour party. I look forward to a proper opposition over the next 5 years!!

5 years? 10 years in opposition more like

I would prefer a Corbyn government, but I would take New Labour over the Tories any day of the week.

When Blair was getting rid of clause 4, I had a debate with an old Labour stalwart, of course he was mortified that this was happening. I said to him with great profundity, "if you had a shop and no one came to buy anything, you'd change your stock" and I firmly believed it, problem was, after a few years of Blair I was regretting my point of view.
I'm back there again, anything but more Conservatism.

Just consider, for Corbyn to win an election, he has to get Scotland and middle England back, good luck!

EDIT: Also, we have probably lost any chance of a Lib Lab coalition.

Sorry, Eiger - do you mean New Labour didn't lose the last election (on a platform of 'we'll be just as austere as the Tories but we'll cook the books to preserve the NHS') or that they might have won if they'd been even more of a gang of right-wing nonentities than they actually were?

what would a corbyn victory mean for southwark labour? packing would be very nice

Sings the red flag loud.

Silent during our National Anthem. Sung at a service in St Paul's to honour our living WW2 RAF heroes and our war dead.

Disrespectful, repugnant and pathetic.
