Jeremy Corbyn has lost the plot

Her Majestys' Leader of the Opposition is still fighting his corner even when he has no corner, no support, no friends, and certainly no future as the boss of the Labour Party. It was one of the more bizarre moments in the House of Commons yesterday when Jeremy Corbyn stood up on the Labour Frontbench and proceeded to harangue Boris Johnson over his Queen's Speech legislative programme, dismissing it as a meaningless manifesto of hyped-up Labour ideas without the money to pay for them. Hohoho. What fun. One moment he is annihilated as the leader of the Labour Party in the Christmas general election and the next he is standing up in the chamber of the House as if nothing untoward had happened. Ok there isn't a new leader yet although there are plenty of interested parties including two lady Labour MPs who are flatmates who want to share top job and deputy! So I suppose Corbyn has to do the honours until someone is found who is suitable to become Her Majesty's Leader of the Opposition for the next five to ten years. But for him to stand up and sound all righteous as if he knows better how to run the country was a moment to savour. It certainly attracted derision on the other side of the House where the overwhelming number of Conservative MPs, all stuffed with the confidence of being on the winning ticket, were sitting very comfortably enjoying Corbyn's discomfort. It's going to be a tough few weeks/months for Corbyn, a long pre-retirement period for a man who totally failed to inspire the country to vote for him and his policies. There will be sadder and sadder pictures of Corbyn coming out of his house with his bag over his shoulder and cycling to work. I don't want to feel harsh. Magnanimity is a good quality especially at Christmas. But had Corbyn become prime minister this country of mine would have been ruined. And I could never have forgiven him for that.
