The makeover begins: After ditching the vests and shorts, Corbyn's sons bought his smart new jacket to become Labour leader

•Unkempt MP's non-conformist dress sense raised eyebrows during contest
•Revealed he bought £1.50 vests from a market and sported Panama hat
•On eve of result he appeared in shorts, t-shirt and black Nike trainers
•But at result conference he looked smart in navy jacked - bought by sons

During the Labour leadership contest the unkempt 66-year-old was seen sporting vests, a Panama hat and even baggy navy blue shorts.

But even the staunch leftwinger has succumbed to the inevitable political makeover, after his sons bought him a new jacket to present smarter image when he was named the shock winner to take lead Her Majesty's Opposition.

When Mr Corbyn appeared at the QEII conference centre yesterday to be named Labour leader he was noticeably smarter than usual.

He wore a navy jacket and trousers and light blue shirt, but remained defiantly tieless.

There is no doubt that part of Mr Corbyn's appeal to his supporters his is refusal to play the usual Westminster games.

Just wait until they start in earnest. :D
 
Matthew Wright leading a campaign to have various media outlets prosecuted for bullying Corbyn.

Where was he when UKIP and Farage were getting vitriolic abuse on a daily basis from every side.

Why do people care what someone wears?

Uruguay's last president was poor as hell compared to every other leader because he basically gives his income to less fortunate people.

But no... gotta live vicariously through people don't we?
 
No climbdown from Corbyn's team:

I'm genuinely intrigued as to how this pans out - the overall attempt to rise above gutter-press-style political reporting, I mean.

So many people seem happy to just be lead by the headlines, but plenty see through it. Showing a confidence Miliband never had with the press, though.

It certainly is interesting. You only have to read the last few pages of this thread to how easily people are led by the media.

It's quite a good little trick the tories have got going. Rather than pretending they don't just cater to the elite, they just make anyone who is a bit thick and can leverage a house and mediocre car think they're part of the elite as well.

Who on this thread are you calling thick ?

What you should be waiting for is for someone to point out that the last time we had a left wing government and the NHS was created it was post war and the demographic and situation in Britain was very different to the one today. What you describe sounds more like a utopia now.

Wasn't the top level of income tax 90% at the time? That's how you create the NHS and the Welfare state whilst holding a massive amount of debt.

Not that I'm advocating a return to 90% tax, but we can't have it both ways. Low taxes and good services don't mix.
 
I really don't understand the national anthem furore.

I'm a moderate royalist, but there's no way in hell you'll find me singing God Save the Queen. A) I don't enjoy singing, B) other people don't enjoy me signing, C) it's a terrible song.
 
The best thing that could come of Corbyn's time as opposition leader for all political parties is a move towards politics of actual substance rather than the current soundbite and image obsessed status quo (which ironically probably owes a lot to Blair). Attacking people for their dress sense and similar is pathetic, who gives a ****?
 
Jezza's got bigger things to worry after helping himself to sandwiches intended for veterans yesterday and a BBC cameraman being pushed over outside his house by an aide.

And that's before CallMeDave rips him a new one at PMQs this afternoon.
 
The national anthem thing is the worst kind of modern day faux rages / daily mail comments section OMG nonsence

I dont care for him either way but since when did "not singing along" = "refusing to sing" ?

Well from now on anyone caught not singing is commiting treason then !
