Corbyn The Caretaker

[naomi24]

Could that be described as an oxymoron from a moron?

//Jeremy Corbyn has urged the leaders of the other opposition parties and Tory rebels to install him as caretaker PM in order to stop a no-deal Brexit. //

How does Corbyn feel about Harriet Harman saying she is happy to be caretaker PM?

A kick in the teeth when even your own party members offer up an alternative...

[ichkeria]

Hmm I don’t think it’s Labour Party members who are suggesting this. Tho I am sure a few would be happy with it.
This really is not the big story it’s been cracked up to be.
It’s one thing someone saying (in rather non committal fashion) they’d be happy to lead a government if asked, and it actually happening.

Wasn't it Lib Dem leader Jo Swinson who said she said she had spoken to Harriet Harman (and Ken Clarke) about being caretaker PM, rather than disenchanted Labour MPs suggesting her?

[ichkeria]

Yes it was

[drmorgans]

The problem remains that some MPs opposed to a no-deal Brexit would actually support some other form of Brexit, possibly May's deal. Some want a second referendum confirmatory vote to either confirm we still want to leave the EU or change our minds and stay in. And others think we got it wrong and parliament should be allowed to decide to stay in. So they probably will probably continue to bicker and fail to agree on a course of action and the PM will be able to do what he wants.

With 2 A level E s and as a drop-out from The North London Poly. he'd be hard pressed to get a job as a real caretaker.
(His first wife said all the time they were married she never saw him read a book).
Try equating that with "buffoon" Boris! In fact when you think about it, Boris has written more books than Corbyn has read.

[retrocop]

Lol. Good one khandro. :-)

Diddlydo @ 2212, you cannot possibly be serious?

"Mr Corbyn the Iranians have just launched missiles at us. Will you push the button?"

"No I shall refer it to the National Execurive and arrange dialogue."

"But Mr Corbyn we only have forty minutes!"

"Then we shall blame the previous government. Nobody will vote for them again!"

"Oh shiiiirt!"
