I agree with the sentiment about the "My Honourable Friend" conkers. Isn't it about time Parliament and it's hangers on upgraded to the 21st Century?

Corbyn has been the Honourable Gentleman for Islington North for the past 32 years, so that is what he should continue to be addressed as.
There are plenty of Shadow Cabinet members who are not Rt. Hons. There are plenty of Conservative Government Ministers who are not Rt. Hons.
As Corbyn does not give a toss about the stupid Honours System, I doubt he will be losing any sleep about this.

Personally, I am in favour of the courtesies of the House.
I think courtesy, and correct address of individuals in public life is important - it provides the continuity of tradition.
I also admire Mr Corbyn's ability to maintain his principles, something sadly lacking in some of his colleagues in the House.
I would suggest that ' Mr Corbyn' would be appropriate - as befits not only has status as an MP, but as a mature individual, it is a courtesy that should be extended to any adult man.
Calling him 'Corbyn' infers his suposed inferiority to the person addressing him, and in modern society, he has very few actual 'superiors'.
Those that are of a higher social status would no doubt address him as 'Mr Corbyn' because, as advised, that is simply good manners.

Apart from the fact that your statement is based on your own personal prejudice, and has no basis in fact - it is libellous, and really not helpful in a debate.
