Corbyn is useless, but May is dangerous. I'd rather have useless.
I also don't think you can accuse him of being a champagne socialist - he isn't poor, but he has by no means used his career to enrich himself in the way most have. Until he became leader he routinely returned the lowest expenses claims of any MP, and (as I understand it) used some of his salary to pay his staff. He's not whiter than white for sure - none of them are - but I don't think he's that much of a hypocrite.

Just noticed the list, thanks. I don't have full info for all of them, but China has a corrupt ruling elite.

Which is what I've been saying for ages. There's also the anti-union element within the BBC. The NUJ and the Beeb have been at loggerheads for years over the fat pensions going to the management whilst actual journalists get cut.
Because he doesn't drink champagne?
Why does earning £80k mean you have to renounce socialism? And he certainly doesn't live his life in government.
Propped up by Owen Jones? My reading glasses must be defective.

Get things right: Jones baked Corbyn when he won the leadership election. That was the right thing to do. It's also the right thing to do when that same leader does close to fuck all and has had less political impact than that of incontinent tapir shedding its load over the steps of Westminster.
He got his chance to present his case and he was found to be sorely lacking.
Viva the people's republic of Harrow.

You can criticise Corbyn for a lot but he is a principled individual and he doesn't have a particularly extravagant life.
He earns approximately what you would expect for a man in his position (in 2015-16 was £114,342 and paid £35,298 in tax).
He earns a bit from giving speeches- but it is nickel and dime stuff really certainly compared to what Osbourne, Cameron, Blair and Clegg get.
I should say that I don't actually have a problem with politicians having outside interest... as long as they are declared and don't interfere with the task of being an MP.
There seems to be an attitude about that tries to tear down anyone on the left who has had any sort of success by making the 'champagne socialist' accusation.
Having a bit of money saved doesn't make you a champagne socialist.
Having a house doesn't make you a champagne socialist.
The things that Corbyn has should be what society is able to provide to all in our society.
That isn't socialism- it is fulfilling just the basic needs that we all have- a place to live and enough money saved to live out our lives.
I'd like to see a government implement some policies that
Is Corbyn the man to do it?
Well, I doubt Labour will get a majority and once they lose he'll probably have to go.

Listen as his own MPs call on him to resign:
Were he to be elected it would be a disaster.
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
Principled like holding a minute's silence for IRA members killed on their way to bomb a police station?
I repeat: he's an idiot.
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
Principles he may have, he's surrounded by idiots because most successful intelligent people will have nothing to do with him and he has achieved the sum total of the root square of 'F*All'.
On the question of support for fromer military personnel this countries lack of social and health support is appalling enough, JCs rude lack of engagement with them and continued support for the former enemies is disgusting.
The BBC does seem to live in it's own bubble at times and the move of it's breakfast news up north was an attempt to dispell that effect somewhat, that said the other main 'news' media also have a similar 'bias' at this time.
The BBC pension scheme was the same for all staff (or it was when I was there. ) and was very good but not so much for new joiners.
Journalists tend to get treated better than just about any staff because for some reason it's always considered newsworthy if anything they don't like happens.
