There has already been a national poll on this subject carried out by sky news which I posted on another thread. The overwhelming majority were with May.
As for those in Parliament, the majority are also with May, including most Labour opposition MP's.
May made it clear she suspected the Russians or that alternatively the Russians had lost control of the nerve gas. She has never directly accused Putin himself unlike Boris did or told the Russians to 'shut up' like the uk defence secretary did. These incompetents should should shut up and leave the talking to May.

As for Corbyn, he was his usual boring self, opposing anything pro - British in his usual 'I'M SUCH A REBEL, LOOK AT ME, I'M WINDSWEPT AND INTERESTING' style which has never got him any recognition or did good for anyone and he's now in that pathetic last ditch attempt stage desperately wanting to be relevant now he's approaching retirement age.

Exactly and a very important point.

I think May, for all her faults and she has plenty, is a lot stronger with this kind of situation. She was quite strong with the terroist attacks as well. I just don't get the Corbyn love in at all and he is terribly weak when it comes to any kind of conflict. He would be a dreadful PM.

He promises miracle cures - and wouldn’t we all like some of those.

He reminds me of the leaders of some religious cults - full of promises and rhetoric to gain favour but with little in the way of practical solutions or ability to transpose words into actions. That makes him dangerous in my book as vulnerable and gullible people will jump on every word.

His views on Russia are very dangerous in my view and again demonstrate his inability to face reality instead harping on about talking - to Putin!!! It should be obvious to all that Putin doesn’t do talking - his word is law. Now he is a man of action - but not in a good way.

I think waiting to see who is directly responsible for the poisoning is pretty much the right line of inquiry so I have been a little hesitant to just assume the Russian government - or those who control the Russian government - are behind it. The idea of it being some mafioso with an axe to grind is just as plausible, a former business client, someone he (the former spy) exposed... the tendency to just assume Russia are entirely and openly corrupt seems a bit too simplistic and naive. I'm aware of double bluffs but using nerve agents that can only be traced back to your own country, would that really be the weapon of a Russian state?
