ICM said its latest poll was the worst for Labour since 1983,
when Michael Foot was poised to endure a general election wipeout —
with the exception of one poll in 2008 under Gordon Brown.

I am worried about Jeremy.
My fear is that he is being distracted by the perceived need to perform well in parliament when the real change that he represents is a grass roots following that sits outside the usual media.
Instead of playing to the BBC and other media, I believe a countrywide campaign, with regional meetings, facebook events and direct connection with the people, is the way forward.
The vast majority of people could not give a flying fuck about PMQ's. The vast majority of people agree with Jeremy's agenda.
Recovering Labour's proper position is possible.
However..... currently, the Labour Party by itself cannot win the next election, so the plan has to be longer term, including exposing the nonsense of the Scottish Nationalist Socialist Party, and reconnecting with the allegedly ignorant racist working classes of the North.
I'm an old fart lefty who fondly remembers the humanity of Tony Benn, and I joined Labour to support Jeremy. The forces against him are immense though.

At first there was a small triumph for Jeremy Corbyn in holding at bay UKIP's surge into his party's heartland in Stoke. But, minutes later, came the terrible loss of the staunch Labour seat of Copeland to the governing Conservatives.

A small triumph ?
Seeing your majority slump from 20,000 a decade ago ... to 5,000 in 2015 ... to "just hanging on" ?
We need a few more "triumphs" like that !
