b) Reducing the battleground to a "fair" left or right as you do does not auger well for us in the centre I fear, nor for the country as a whole ... Seems to me that Labour has not learned the lessons of the 80s where the out-and-out, left-wing, ideological stance of the Party, coupled with the out-of-control trades union saw the Tories - and ultimately the electorate - shift away from the political centre to the right wing, a move that brought the country Thatcherism and all its consequences along with a dead-in-the-water Labour movement. A party only revived many, many years later by - ultimately - Blair and co from the centre ... is this the road Labour really wants to stumble down again? Swings to the far left or right are counterproductive - can Corbyn unify the whole country? Can't see it myself ...

Today we have sandwich-gate (Corbyn picks up some sandwiches which were for veterans).... and then we have anthem-gate (he did not sing to God Save the Queen).
The first is just laughable nonsense. The second is like something from Brave New World - here's someone who didn't participate in a GroupSing.

Corbyn was in a no win situation with this one, in order to do his job properly as Leader of the Opposition he had to become a member of the PC. I don't see much wrong with him doing what he has to do in order to work within the existing system whilst working towards a better one.Every gimmick hungry yob,

Corbyn has done well at his first PMQ. Taking questions from the public via email actually worked really well.

Thought Corbyn was superb.
Wrong footed Cameron a bit and was forceful without playing up to the pantomime atmosphere. You can certainly tell he's had to speak in places where he simply has to get his point across quickly and be heard. He's a good public speaker.
Only thing lacking was any hard hitting follow up questions. I understand the desire to make it a bit more civilised but Cameron was let off a bit easy by simply quoting the government line and that was it. Unless Labour feel the more people actually hear the government line the less they will like it.

They (the press) seem desperate to throw up as many bad news stories as they can about Corbyn.
I wonder if the establishment are a wee bit worried that this guy will shake up their comfy wee life in the "Westminster Village"? They certainly don't seem to have "got it" that Scotland is fed up with the 2 establishment parties that existed whilst New Labour and the tories were in power. We don't want Eton Oxbridge types running the parties and pandering to business with trickle down economics whilst they get richer. We want a government that will make people's lives better.
I am quite looking forward to a shake up.

I am hoping that Corbyn's tactic of asking simple questions about things that matter to ordinary folk will eventually show Cameron up. It certainly makes a change from the usual common room bread roll throwing contest.

Corbyn is determined to change politics with consensus not force. His performance at PMQs was very good. Labour MPs need to realise that change is coming and they better get with it quickly as that's what the party wants. Will Jez be the next PM? I doubt it, he will be 71 by the next GE but I believe he will have set Labour on a different route by then. People are crying for politics of change and Jez can deliver it.
Here in Scotland Labour is on its knees but I'm hoping for a Corbyn bounce which will keep Labour around. The party should be aiming to have around 30 list MSPs and a handful of constituency MSPs. The SNP must be held to account, our devolved parliament must start using its existing powers not carping on about powers it does not have. Scotland decided last year on the constitution and we may be asked again in the future but until then we should demand our MSPs start using all the powers they have to improve Scotland

It's not been unusual for Generals to criticise recent Governments about downsizing of the armed forces, The Tories are as guilty as Labour are here when it comes to reducing manpower whilst increasing our commitments overseas.Every gimmick hungry yob,
