Labour members and supporters: how do you rate Corbyn's first week?

It’s been a busy first week in charge for Labour’s new leader, Jeremy Corbyn, who has put together a brand new shadow cabinet, addressed the TUC conference, and appeared - to largely favourable reviews - at his first Prime Minster’s Questions. He has also faced a hostile reception in some quarters, particularly over his decision not to sing the national anthem at a Battle of Britain memorial, and over the lack of women in senior roles within his cabinet.

The Corbyn team will have been unsurprised by the tone of some of the negative press coverage, given the general approach to his predecessor as leader, the supposedly ‘red’ Ed Miliband; but some supporters are unhappy at the levels of vitriol on display.

How do you think Corbyn has performed during his first week in charge? If you were one of the many hundreds of thousands who took part in the Labour leadership election: has his leadership style been as you expected? Has he lived up to your expectations, or do you fear for his and the party’s future?
