It is weird that Corbyn the man of the people for the people has not said a word

 

This is the thing he urgently needs to address about himself.

 

I've no doubt he's a caring man, but when the crap hits the fan he just avoids it, runs away or sits on the fence.

 

This isn't a man who should be fighting our corner on the world stage, and just shows why he was nothing more than a backbencher all those years.

It is weird that Corbyn the man of the people for the people has not said a word, it strikes me that now he is far from a man of the people. he seem on this and many other topics very Orwellian animal farm, all equal,but some are more equal than others.

 

Has he said nothing? Or has nothing he said been reported?

Are you seriously expecting that he'd say something and then the media wouldnt report it even including say the Guardian and Express?

 

To think that there is that much of a media cover up is well into the realsm of tin foil hatted conspiricary theory....

Perhaps this is why Corbyn hasn't jumped in to help her (2016):

 

Shadow minister irate over Labour plan to save Jeremy Corbyn's seat

Kate Osamor surprised colleagues by turning up at meeting to oppose her own party over breaking up of her constituency.

 

A Labour party plan that would save Jeremy Corbyn’s seat, which is threatened by boundary changes, has resulted in a furious reaction from one of the leader’s closest allies whose own constituency is to be split into three under the proposals.

They can't, and don't, report everything. Nothing to do with conspiracies

He lives in his constituency, and I believe it is quite diverse with a broad mix of housing, nationalities and income levels.

 

I wish more MPs would live in their constituencies, rather than be parachuted in to safe seats to get elected. What better way of getting to know what goes on in your area than to live there?

I agree. It just a shame that Labour are doing more of this when their incumbent isn't a Corbyn suckup or to promote an all female or BAME shortlist....

Easy to live in your constituency when it's in London near the HoC..

Yes but I'm sure that Jeremy would be just as dedicated and live in his constituency if he were MP for Bishop Auckland or Redcar

[Anna B]

I'd be interested to know how many MPs actually live in their constituency, or even know that much about the people they purport to represent.

 

Maybe it ought to be a rule that all MPs standing for office in the elections come from from the local area.
