Default Jeremy Corbyn: We'll probably gain power next year
Jeremy Corbyn believes there is likely to be another election in "the next 12 months" and Labour will "probably" win it with a majority.

"I'm ready to be prime minister tomorrow," the Labour leader told Grazia in what it billed as his first interview with a women's magazine.

It comes as Mr Corbyn's ally Diane Abbott predicted that Labour would take a "decisive" opinion poll lead in 2018.

Most recent polls put the party neck-and-neck with the Conservatives.

But Ms Abbott told BBC Newsnight she expected Labour to "move ahead of this government steadily and surely as next year unravels" and said there was likely to be another election.

Mr Corbyn said another election was "quite possible" in his Grazia interview.

Asked if the public were ready for another election, he said the Conservatives did not have "much confidence in being able to command a majority in parliament" so "I think the country would want an election in order to bring about some degree of stability".

He added: "I think we'd probably win it, with a majority... we're working very hard on that."

If he wants people to think he's ready to be PM, maybe he should give his Shadow Cabinet a dusting.

It's not unlikely, another year of possible strains on this govt.an election could result any moment.

He would only need to acquire a further 15 to 20 seats and while that would not give him an overall majority,one things sure from that,this heartless lot would be certainly gone out of power and he would be Prime Minister.

It's not impossible,now more probable than just possible and I'd like it to come about too.

How long til Christmas? How long do they say "is a long time in politics"?


Regardless, who cares what he says? He didn't come out with it in a random bravado sperg, he was directly asked a question relating to this, and he answered. He's hardly going to say "yeahno I think we have a snowman in an oven's chance" is he...

Yeah to be fair I don't think he said which Christmas. I always used to say I would stop smoking on wednesday but never clarified which wednesday. I did stop on wednesday about 5 years after i first said it

Wow, true to your word, just like Corbyn and I. I'll give up excessive amounts of takeaways in the new year.

It's a fair prediction. The current government is flailing and despite the desperation of the right, Corbyn is only getting more support. If an election was called as things stand, Labour would easily get the majority, I think.

It’s very possible but personally i think it’d be very close between a repeat of the current situation or Labour but with no majority.

This Christmas, take a stand against Capitalism by buying Jeremy Corbyn tea-towels, mugs, beer-mats, badges, T-shirts, scarves, annuals, throw-pillows, cardboard cut-outs, tote bags, posters, pint glasses, Americano travel mugs, books and travel card holders.
