A quick challenge, of those 500 times Corbyn rebelled, was he wrong to do so for any of them? For example he rebelled against invading Iraq.

[@kittythecat6090]

I loved the part where Corbyn said "It's Corbyn time" and corbed all over Labour. Truly one of the moments in British politics.

He had the opportunity to play the statesman, but instead became a bitter hard left 1970's style joke.

We had a chance to have a real Labour prime minister but between the Zionists and the right wing media and the ‘Labour career politicians ‘ they brought him down. Now people are starting to see what the Zionist money can do to interfere in US and UK politics. They buy politicians who will support genocide without a word.

[@AshArAis]

His anti-nuclear and anti-monarchy ideas are not in the manifesto, because having no nuclear weapons is a slow and long term goal, and changing the monarchy is not a priority, so we can just leave it alone for now. These things he believes aren't all things he's going to force on everyone - it's going to be NHS and rail etc first in line to be looked after.
