Bit like Lee and his phone-ins.

How many of us do you think would need to email Jeremy before we could get him to ask about Miles Storey in PMQs? I'd vote Labour to see that, no problem.

Personally I thought it was a breath of fresh air from a bunch of out of touch tosspots saying 'see that smelly pile of poo, thats you that it'.

Yes

These people are supposed to be running our country, not trying to out banter each other with childish whips.

I might not agree with some of Corbyn's left wing views, but he's certainly a welcome change.

Completely agree, don't agree with his economics at all, but find his approach completely refreshing. Anyone who doesn't give sky news tosser journalists the time of day deserves some credit.

Saudi Arabia to crucify a teenager for attending a pro-democracy rally. Meanwhile, they're currently chairing the UN Human Rights Council.

Tory plan to sell off more of the Town's parks and leisure facilities to their chums....surely only a matter of time before Coate is finally finished off.

I have a certain admiration for Garry Perkins, people still vote for him despite the Wi-Fi thing and brilliant statements like this when talking about why Coate needs to be flogged off....

Quote
“If you take Coate Water for example, I live near there and regularly walk around. There are large parts which are not used."

I think he probably has the intelligence to realise those bits are an SSI, set aside for nature...not sure about the people that vote for him.

Was there not a session of PMQ's this week - is it because we are in conference season?

I was hoping that the cheese question was going to be raised?

Political parties should be banned from local politics.  Instead you should just have decent people to vote for based on what they want to do locally, rather than some charade whereby they try and "play" at being MP's locally.  It doesn't help that it attracts some right odd sorts at a local level - I mean, why would you?  Anyone with a bit of intelligence is paid too much or too busy to get involved.

Is there any sort of plan to this?

The farming minister is credited statements which would basically put a large percentage of the farming industry out of business  http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/meat-eaters-should-be-treated-like-smokers-says-the-vegan-shadow-environment-secretary-kerry-10515299.html?cmpid=facebook-post

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. Over time this is in  danger of giving Cameron an easier ride than he had before!

vegan... PAH, they don't count.. they're only one step up from anti cruelty veggies that still eat fish Wink

 no way labour would push that as policy. sounds like a newspaper sensationalist story out of context to me.

I think part of it is Corbyn struggled to find any candidates willing to be too closely associated with his leadership so had to scrape quite a few barrels to come up with such a poor quality shadow cabinet.

He wont last long.

I'm hopeful this can work out ok.  Luckily Corbyn is showing all the classic extreme left distaste for actually putting his absurd agenda to the test.  Provoke a backlash that sees you replaced after a couple of years.  Much easier to go back to standing on the touchline demanding everything for everyone in the name of socialism than trying to deliver it and being exposed.  This isn't Greece.

Labour will still have time to stand up a credible leader to oppose George or Boris in 2020.  With no Lib Dem cover, the Tories will surely have opened people's eyes to the reality that an incompetent right wing government is not the answer.

The flaw in this little theory?  Finding the credible leader.  That's what I'm concerned about.

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.
