New Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn pressed on his stance on the EU

“Jeremy Corbyn may be able to offer that, and it is important that all of us in the Labour Party give him and his team the chance to prove themselves“.

Corbyn is still recovering from the ire of British media on Tuesday when he attended a Battle of Britain commemoration ceremony, but refrained from singing the national anthem.

Huddersfield MP Barry Sheerman has advised caution amongst his fellow MPs following Jeremy Corbyn’s landslide victory in the Labour Party leader election contest.

He said an appeal to the public to tell Labour they would like to ask the PM had produced 40,000 responses, from which he had selected six to fill the questions traditionally given to the leader of the opposition during the 30-minute session.

Corbyn is now already under pressure from some supporters to appoint a shadow cabinet of true believers (just three, Diane Abbott, John McDonnell and Jon Trickett voted for him).

Here is what the politicos, wonks and journalists from in and around the Westminster are saying about Cameron versus Corbyn.

However, a spokesman for the Labour leader’s said that he had “stood in respectful silence”.

Corbyn, elected leader of the Labour party at the weekend, said Prime Minister’s Questions, a weekly verbal joust when arguments over policy are often reduced to pithy, sometimes personal, barbs, was too theatrical and “out of touch”.

But let’s be serious for a moment: if you could ask David Cameron anything, using Jeremy Corbyn’s body like a puppet, what science and technology-related question would you fire his way?

He said:”I have spoken to officers on the front-line locally and know how desperate the situation is – it feels like there is no vision for the service and so I want to support them through these tough times”.

“So I think it would have been a really good gesture towards those people, towards military families, those who have lost loved ones, if he had sung the national anthem at the ceremony”.

While some on Twitter questioned whether Corbyn’s style was tough enough to enable him to hold the Prime Minister to account in the way necessary, reception to his approach was broadly positive.

“I do have fundamental differences with Jeremy on areas like Europe and defence but I think Politics had got a bit dull and I do welcome the debate that has come out of the leadership election”.
