That was a truly dismal performance, shouty incoherent and full of accusations already answered.
Bizarre. Corbyn had advance sight of it, not that you'd notice.FrancisUrquhart said:I have a new career for Jezza....
Have you got a PR disaster, has your oil rig blown up and leaking millions of barrels of oil into the ocean, have you been caught at the races with your girlfriend live on BBC news, while your wife watches from home and now the video is all over social media...
Its OK Captain Jezza can stand in and distract the media with utterly useless performances, so bad and incompetent, that the media forget about the original PR disaster....0 -

That is the first time I have heard a Tory complain that businesses are reinvesting in jobs and technology, driving forward some areas by leaps and bounds instead of taking fat profits for the shareholders. Are you sure you are in the right party ? Amazon might not pay any tax, but those ten of thousand of people it employs all over the world pay tax, those billions it spends with hardware companies and other suppliers, they all pay tax because of the money Amazon spends with them.DavidL said:We hear this excuse all the time but just how acceptable is a business model that puts huge numbers of other taxpaying firms out of business, builds up a dominant market position and a truly huge capital value and yet contributes nothing to the society on which it feeds?
It is not Amazon's fault that our tax laws are so idiotic but it is only in the more arcane and remote areas of accountancy that this is not a profitable firm that should be accounting for a proportion of that profit. In the meantime I buy nothing off Amazon I can get anywhere else. I am sure they are hurting as a result.

So a recap on the hapless Jahadi Jez...
Doesn't keep his tax returns for 7 years (against the rules)
Files late (against the rules)
Filled in the incorrect form (idiot)
Doesn't appear to have disclosed for a lodger (or is charging a lodger well below market rate)
Has previous taken money from dodgy press outfits with questions about the money being "offshore"
If the journos can be bothered that should give them a bit to work with. It is all small beer and petty, but then the PM doesn't appear to done anything wrong and Labour called for him to be imprisoned for something or other.0 -
Mr Corbyn seems to have filed an incorrect return. He should have filed one of these:

Thanks for that. I hadn't appreciated that.david_herdson said:
Not exactly. She will have a majority at some point due to her superdelegate support but these are 'soft' votes: pledges of intent that can be reversed at the delegate's discretion. As such, they're not in the bag until they're cast at the convention itself - unlike the 'hard' votes coming from primaries and caucuses where the delegate is required to vote a certain way.DavidL said:Surely there will come a point when she has a majority and that is that?
I agree with Richard though. She is not a natural campaigner or public speaker. She needs to work at it and she has been forced to sharpen her message, improve her performances and weed out at least some of the incompetents in her team. None of this will do her any harm come November.
At the moment, depending on which source you use, Hillary has a lead in pledged delegates in the range of 220-280. There are 712 unpledged superdelegates so it's highly likely that Hillary will be reliant on at least some for her overall win. Of course, she'll actually get most of the superdelegates - giving her a much more comfortable win rather than putting it at risk - but all the same, she won't technically be assured of victory without a 712 lead in the pledged column.0 -

It is not Amazon's fault that our tax laws are so idiotic but it is only in the more arcane and remote areas of accountancy that this is not a profitable firm that should be accounting for a proportion of that profit.
