Kind of like how the Tories still keep (incorrectly) mentioning how Labour were responsible for the recession.
I hear your argument; Brexit is a poisoned chalice, this is surely the reason Maybot is still the leader of the Tories. It is not because she is stoic, diligent, disciplined, conscientious, it is because nobody in her party wants the strawberry floating gig. In a way I want the Tories to suffer the full consequences of the gooseberry fool storm that they have created, but if we forget Brexit for a moment there are other massive issues at stake: our NHS, schools, police, they are all in dire straits and we need a different government in power to save them. I am really conflicted here, I want to remain in the EU, but perhaps I want the Tories gone more, I'm really not sure. I like Corbyn and feel that he gets an undeserved hard time on here; he's given a really good account of himself in many of the recent PMQs, his voting record is solid and I like his policies. He does stumble on occasion in interviews, but in my opinion, his ideas are for the good. It's so weird that there is so much focus, from the press, on the opposition when the incumbents are actually making policy that is harmful. Many seem to have taken a cue from the main stream media and spend all their time bashing Corbyn, lets concentrate on the people who are actually in power for Christ's sake.....
