The British public loves an underdog. Think Eddie the Eagle and now Jeremy Corbyn. Not only had the Labour leader been written off by his own party, the British public thought that he was not fit for purpose. Well, what a difference a day makes. Corbyn is now, in some opinion polls, just three points behind Theresa May. The thought of Corbyn sitting in Number 10 does send shivers down my spine but you can’t help but admire the way that he has taken this general election by storm. Corbyn is a people person. He has spent most of his political career defending the indefensible in village halls up and down Britain. There are not many politicians who can say that they opposed the Falklands War or had a word of support for Hamas or the IRA. But enter Jeremy Corbyn.

I did wonder if TM called the Election, because of the incredible problems being experienced from the EU leaders,The House of Lords, All the other Political Parties, etc. Perhaps she (PM ), has realised that 'BREXIT ' is going to be so difficult and problematical, that letting Labour become the controlling party; Will result in total chaos, and Labour and Corbyn will be blamed for the complete failure of the negotiations , to be recorded in British History for ever..
