I don't think there is any chance of it being policy, but just seems to be entirely nonsensical to give someone the gig who holds these opinions (and has expressed them in writing), as someone said to me earlier it would be like making Andrew Wakefield shadow minister for health.



Works in the US - check out Blackburn I think it is, she's on an energy committee and is firmly against the theory of climate change and has also publically rebuked the concept of evolution, along with equal pay for women.  Now, the climate change one could be a scientific argument, but she's against it on principle, not because of science!

It gets a little embarrassing when the Pope is a little more accommodating and less dogmatic than you are...

I cannot wait until Trump gets in and we get more of this?

As every little bit emerges I become more concerned that the Corbyn project is a personal vanity project that has little objective of getting elected.

Ha. You think JC has some kind of control? Seriously, there's the Scottish elections in the spring and the majority of the English local elections. There will be a new Labour leader before the EU referendum. If there isn't, Labour will have committed suicide. And for the record, 'I'll dance on their grave'.

I agree with Ironside.

Except for the last bit.

 See Justin Tomlinson is in the naughty corner....showing confidential documents on payday loan legislation to a Wonga employee.  I'm inclined to believe his excuse of stupidity rather than corruption...

Justin did arrange for Wonga to sponsor Supermarine a few years back. Is this a coincidence?

On a more national level, following the death of Michael Meacher, the forthcoming by election in Oldham will provide an interesting illustration of where things are going for Labour and Mr Corbyn?

I suspect the constituency is too staunchly Labour to see any great swing (and thus illustrate how the public feel about Corbyn), but the candidate selection process will answer a few questions.

Meacher was one of 4, who got re-elected in May, who'd originally been in the intake of 1970 and served continuously.  Others...Gerald Kaufman, Beast of Bolsover and Ken Clarke.

Meacher backed Corbyn at the initial selection, so I'm guessing the CLP, will pick a a proper Labour candidiate....and not if one of the others had won parachute in Ed Balls.

I would suspect that we should be more concerned that Mr Tomlinson insists on referencing himself in the third person?

'Mr Tomlinson said: “Jez made donations to Justin in a personal capacity. It is entirely incorrect to suggest other motivations.”'

So are Supermarine being used as some manner of front to channel money from Wonga to the Tories, I can imagine an absolute hammering from the FA if this is the case?

Wealthy person paying for access and favours from MP's is hardly new though is it, just been reading a book regarding Bernie Ecclestone and the section regarding Ecclestone, Labour and £1m followed rapidly by changes to polic regarding tobacco advertising  make grim reading, as is the manner that Ecclestone was hung out to dry by Blair and Jonathan Powell immediately it became public knowledge.

Its a dirty old world and I hate to break to you Reg, but they are all at it!

I didn't know Meacher had died. What'll happen to all his houses?
