Diane Abbot. One of the most bigoted, racist and vile people in the whole house of commons.

I think it's great that Corbyn won the leadership.

People say he couldn't run a country but jesus christ have you seen the rubber-faced morons we've got running the show now? Cameron, Osborne et al are career politicians, they do not give a single flying shit about the needs of society. In fact I don't think they're even aware of what society needs. What's more, they've pretty much just been churned through the school system - Eton, Oxbridge, PPE, Westminster etc. We're essentially being governed by schoolboys, since that's the only experience they've really got. Whereas Corbyn has been in the game for decades, he's been all over the world in support of other causes, he goes to events, protests, etc, all in support of seriously improving things for the people. His heart is 100% in the right place, which is more than can be said of any other politician at the moment. I'm more than willing to give him a chance and would happily see him have a go as PM.

Personally I'm quite delighted he won although, I don't agree with his policy on migrants, as I think we should be helping our own people first, before helping others and after years of Tory and new labours undermining of the working class and the basic infrastructure of the UK, they'll be a lot of work to do should he win the election.

But, the one thing that made me happiest, was that for the first time in my adult life, we actually have a choice. Something that's been missing from British politics for far too long.

As a right wing aligned person:

Labour in power: Get fucked on economic policies and get creeping state powers that destroy civil liberties

Conservative in power: Get a little less fucked on economic policies and get creeping state powers that destroy civil liberties

I've no great love for tories, but they will tend to fuck me less than labour will. All about harm minimisation innit.

1. The deficit should be paid off - but not through spending cuts and not to an "arbitrary" deadline. Instead Corbyn would fund its reduction via higher taxes for the rich and a crackdown on tax avoidance and evasion while tackling "corporate welfare" and tax breaks for companies.

2. Britain's railways should be renationalised.

3. Far more allotments would be good for the UK. He has a plot near his constituency in north London and told the Commons in 2008 that councils and builders "should be doing their best to ensure that every new development includes some allotment space".

4. Talking to militant groups is necessary to win peace in the Middle East. Corbyn faced heavy criticism for using the word "friends" to describe Hamas and Hezbollah. He has responded by saying he had used the term in a "collective way" adding that while he does not agree with either organisation, a peace process means "you have to talk to people with whom you may profoundly disagree".

5. "Quantitative easing for people" could be used to invest in housing, energy, transport and digital projects. Unlike the £375bn issued electronically by the Bank of England between 2009 and 2012 to buy bonds, gilts and other debts, this would be "QE for people instead of banks", Corbyn says.

6. Replacing Trident would be a costly mistake. Corbyn, a long-term CND member, says plans to replace the nuclear missile system should be ditched. He believes the project's £100bn price tag could be better spent "on our national well-being".

7. A National Education Service modelled on the NHS should be established. Under Corbyn, state-funded academies and free schools would be forced to return to local authority control while university tuition fees would be scrapped and replaced with grants. Corbyn would look at ending the charitable status of public schools, although he accepts this would be complicated and might not happen immediately. He reportedly split up with one of his former wives following a disagreement over whether to send their son to a grammar school or a comprehensive. Asked recently if the break-up was over an "an issue of principle", Corbyn told the Guardian newspaper: "I feel very strongly about comprehensive education, yes."

8. Labour should not support air strikes against Islamic State in Syria. Corbyn, who is national chair of the Stop the War Coalition, believes innocent Syrians would suffer and the supply of arms and funds to the Islamic State group should be cut off instead. He opposed military action against the Assad regime in 2013 and was a prominent critic of the invasion of Iraq. His website says he wants to see "illegal wars" replaced with a "foreign policy that prioritises justice and assistance". Asked during a Sky News hustings whether there were any circumstances in which he would deploy UK military forces, Corbyn said: "I'm sure there are some but I can't think of them at the moment."

9. Rent controls should be re-introduced, linking private rents to local earnings, and more council houses should be built. He also believes that council tenants' right to buy their homes should be extended to private sector renters.

14. An arms embargo should be imposed on Israel. Corbyn, who is a patron of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, said in August that Palestinian refugees should be given a "right of return". He supported a boycott of goods produced in Israeli settlements and of Israeli universities that engage in arms research.

18. Energy companies should be under public ownership. He says he would be "much happier" with a "regulated, publicly run service delivering energy supplies". He is "totally opposed" to fracking.

20. A national maximum wage should be introduced to cap the salaries of high earners. He would also introduce a windfall tax on former state assets such as the Royal Bank of Scotland, which he says were privatised too cheaply.

22. Private Finance Initiative deals with the NHS should be ended by using government funds to buy them out. Writing in the Guardian, Corbyn said they were a "mess" that were costing the health service billions.

24. The arms trade should be restricted. Corbyn would like to see the "brilliance and skill of those in the arms industry be converted for peaceful purposes".

Anyone who thinks the way the world and this country are being run right now is sustainable, or even moral, has combined ignorance with burying their head in the sand to a remarkable degree.

The tories are a figurehead/puppet of the 1%, a tiny group of psychopathic maniacs who believe subjugating the other 99% of the human race is a viable way to run a civilisation and all its societies.

Enough.

Trident is one of those things where I think you either need to spend a lot more than expected, or scrap it alltogether.

The big money focus is on replacing the hardware. In my view, this would also need a chunk of money added to seriously improve the living conditions on board.

Submariners are on the whole a rather odd bunch. They spend a long time cooper up in a submarine full of nuclear warheads, hiding. We are relying on the threat of these people carrying out a successful nuclear strike to make everyone else think twice about hitting us. We are also relying on these people maintaining a level head and not launching missiles where they aren't meant to.

I don't think we're in that situation now. There is often talk about how we don't pick our leaders well enough, or pay them enough - and they only spend 5 years making little changes. We certainly don't pay the people on our nuclear submarines enough, they have the power to destroy the world.

"he would break a consensus between the main parties on issues like nationalisation, nuclear weapons, taxation and union laws"
