In the meantime we have to endure 5 years whining every time Jeremy says something like "let's try to be as nice as possible to as many people as possible". Grrr, the bastard.
How could Miliband (D) ever win a leadership contest now? I doubt he could.

I await the early opinion polls. This could unravel quite quickly or drag on and endure a slow and painful death.

I think the difference between now and say 5 years time, is about 5 years time.

I exclude ISIS, Hamas, Hezbollah, the Argentinians and a whole host of others from that sentiment.

So the smartest lad on the internet has fallen for the media spin on Corbyn's Bin Laden comments.. Who knew?

The hatchet job that is already going on along with so many lies, is actually making me want to support the bloke. Disgusting that we cannot get a neutral press in this day & age.

Camerons tweet that was probably saved in his drafts for weeks show a man who is worried that someone may upset the apple cart... Afterall, if a 'rival' company or party were doing something as in-comprehensively stupid as employing such a massive mistake, then wouldn't you just keep that to yourself and laugh smugly as it all went to shit??

Wasn't that situation bought about by territorial claims on the Antarctic rather than any majorly insane desire to own a couple of lumps of rock for the sake of it? A bit like ownership of Rockall in the 70's...

Something to do with oil, unsurprisingly. Which amounts to one and the same thing.

The problem is that the tens of thousands who joined the party to vote for Corbyn will not vote for David Miliband. Unless suddenly Labour change the rules again, I struggle to see that happen.

Might have to be more of a compromise than that.

6 months ago absolutely no-one with any semblance of sense was predicting a leadership race that had Jeremy Corbyn as a front runner. Indeed the bish, amongst others, was preparing for government. 5 years is a hell of a long time in politics.

That is true. If we're talking post-election then yes it may be a needs must vote thing.

But pre-election I couldn't see it. And I doubt Corbyn will make it to the next election myself. I think under 2 years.

I think you will find they are things that Korbinov gets a senior moment over and forgets!

Also not too sure I like Korbinov's attitude of cutting people off when they ask pertinent questions of him, rude nice person tbh.

Who said, 'Be careful what you wish for'.

This will all go badly wrong, hopefully it won't go badly wrong in a bad way.

McDonnell told a fringe meeting at the Trades Union Congress in Brighton that he was not very good at the consensual style of politics Corbyn has promised to bring to his leadership, or respecting people who disagree with him.
In other words he's a typical hard left wanker who thinks he is right over everything and is placed to tell us all how we should think and act!

Napoleon and the pigs are well entrenched now at Labours top table!

I know little of the guy, but what I can see, is that a few people seem very worried and not because of how he'll fvck the country up or owt, but because he doesn't subscribe to their version of politics.. Interestingly, the Sun and Sky News seem to be the worst.. There's something in common with those two, I believe..

Surely they'd only be worried that he'd f*ck the country up if he got elected? Because, if I'm not mistaken, the narrative also seems to be that he's unelectable? Why the dichotomy? Unless it's based on fear?

I seem to remember, in a different context, he was unelectable a couple of months ago.

Who'd a thought Klara's little boy would one day be asked to form a government.
