Ups and downs of politics

Isn't politics a funny game?

In The Irish Times of Saturday, June 3, Denis Staunton wrote that "In some places the party leader [Jeremy Corbyn] remains its biggest election drawback".

In that same article a Labour campaign operative tells Staunton: "All I hear on the doorsteps is 'Jeremy Corbyn's a f***ing arsehole' ".

Late on election night on BBC Radio 4 a political commentator said that he never thought he would say the three words 'Prime Minister Corbyn'.

What will they be saying in six months time, in a year?
