But we all know what polls can be like! I'm waiting for the 'Queen' of lurkers to show up and bestow her wisdom!

As time goes on I'm warming to Corbyn. He is spot on about the failure of the "war on terror" and if he ends our involvement in it, I'm prepared to accept the increased tax for me personally and the risk for the economy. The risk from Labour is tiny compared to the risk from leaving the single market and I'm pretty confident that under Corbyn we would get Brexit "lite". Perhaps it's time to vote for honesty. May looks anything but "strong and stable".

I liked the guy right out of the box for his integrity and values, though I'm a Liberal rather than a natural socialist and was really quite concerned that he'd champion a meddlesome interventionist economic policy. In truth I'm still a little sceptical about the promised infrastructure investment but I am warming to it. However, I really like the idea of nationalising the railways, and I'm very supportive of where Labour stand on education and health, and couldn't agree more with Corbyn on foreign and defence policy which is pragmatic and promotes peace. I also think Corbyn is the man to handle the Brexit negotiations as he's doesn't have any great love of the European institutions but isn't an isolationist and wants to see international peace and cooperation.
