Jeremy Corbyn budget day winner, black trousers and all

Op-Ed: Supporters of Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn would not care if he attended the House of Commons in his jim jams; they want to hear what he has to say and are fed up of style over substance politics.

Wednesday for the budget he looked dapper after a makeover, whether voluntary is not clear, but he looked smart and ministerial if that is the sort of thing that floats your boat.

Me I was more interested in what he had to say and he did not disappoint.

It seems the right-wing millionaire rag the Daily Express could find little to fault so went with "jacket with a red tie fastened neatly over a crisp white shirt. But one detail was missing, as Mr Corbyn appeared to be wearing black trousers instead of blue ones to match his jacket. Noticing the mismatch on Twitter, Helen James wrote: "Is...Corbyn wearing black trousers and a blue suit jacket? If so, unforgivable!"

Err no things like the Tories slashing ESA for people with disabilities is unforgivable while a blue jacket with black trousers is just a matter of style choice. It shows how meaningless politics is to some who watch the House of Commons daily business and how little they care for we the people.

So with that out of the way how did our Jeremy do?

Well as a Labour supporter I may be somewhat biased but you have to remember Mr Corbyn was not my choice for leader in the party election. He is now though and grows in my estimation each time I see him.

I also felt like a Mum watching her young child at his first big deal day as I tuned in for Budget 2016 yet I am almost the age of Mr Corbyn.

From the moment he got to his feet you could sense his presence in the House.

Remember this is a man facing attacks from within the party, even from his own Common's benches, as well as from elsewhere. He has only been leader of the opposition since September 2015 and it takes time to grow into the role-that has been true of all former party leaders even the ultimately slick Tony Blair.

I posted some of his comments on Osborne's budget in my words on Twitter as I watched Mr Corbyn's speech and I wrote:
  • Go Corbyn who notes growth is revised down and the budget is all fail
  • Higher tax rate band increases but who foots the bill ESA claimants? WASPI women?
  • Osborne blaming last govt which was his - well said Jeremy Corbyn
  • No balanced budget though Tories claim it is
  • IFFS finds economy failing
  • An unfair budget hitting women again
  • Manufacturing sector smaller than it was 8 years ago
  • Wealth divide and mates rates deal will be remembered for hedge fund managers not small businesses
  • Steel industry ruined by this governments failings
  • 97% of northern powerhouse outsourced to London
  • #JeremyCorbyn doing great in spite of Tory rabble as they try to drown him out-failures one and all
  • Great deputy speaker intervention as he tries to keep order #Budget2016
  • Zero hour contract workers have no security or security#Budget2016 and low paid jobs do not bring in revenues Osborne needs #Budget2016
  • £400,000 starter home affordable? Not likely says JC
  • Lots of Tory talk and press releases on house building but no action #Budget2016
  • #Homelessness needs commitment to every person has a home not budget promises that fade away
  • Debts people have sometimes from education growing #Budget2016
  • Chancellor fails and cuts then announces investment too little too late like money for defences now #Budget2016
  • Reverse cuts to fire services and others that hindered flood rescue
  • Adult skills budget falling #Budget2016
  • Nothing real in budget to tackle education probs such as lack of teachers and underfunding #Budget2016
  • NHS should not be having to sell resources to survive not much in the budget to #savethenhs
  • ESA cuts forced through 500,000 will lose out, if Osborne can fund paybacks to fat friends why can’t he allow disabled dignity #Budget2016
  • Wealth creation should be inclusive #Budget2016 #waytogoJeremy
  • Osborne's targets continue to fail
  • Targeting disabled people shows wrong targets #Budget2016
  • Osborne's choice inflict pain on the vulnerable and money to fat cats #Budget2016 #waytogoJeremyHeartless budget is the conclusion by #JeremyCorbyn and me #Budget2016
And as Jeremy Corbyn sat down I ended with these two tweets:
  • #AndrewTyrie talking crap about Labour not the budget-one of Osborne's henchmen as he and Dave have scooted
  • Cant listen to chair treasury committee simply talking up tory crap over and out #Budget2016
All Mr Tyrie, Conservative, could manage was to question Corbyn about his feelings on capitalism-yes the Tories are running scared and trying to scare the voting public.

Overall Mr Corbyn picked the heart, though heart is the wrong word, out of the budget and won the day.

His dress style was immaterial but I have to say he looked damn good!

Jeremy could wear a sarong for all I care. What really matters is the fact we have a leader who fights for the people. Jeremy is no fool and can see right through the b/s. This government like this budget is all smoke and mirrors. They will go down in the annuls of history as the most corrupt in British history. Their descendants will hang their heads in shame.

Thanks Karen and well said

Osborne and chums talk the talk but thats as far as it goes.

Life time ISA to help young people save for a proerty but avilable to anyone aged under 40? That means young MPs, Camerons kids etc etc. Why not means test it for those who need the help. Ill thought out and self serving as always. And if you come from a poor income family and have a poor income yourself what chance have you to save. Flawed start to finish as well as like JC says failed.

    British political scene

    The next General Election in the UK may not be scheduled any time soon but the British political landscape is changing. With that in mind this blog will concentrate on the political scene but with a left wing perspective. Opinion pieces and news will bring you the stories that the MSM prefer to ignore.

    The writer, Eileen Kersey, is a lifelong Labour Party supporter and voter but fairly recent party member.
