It's also Brenda's Big Day Out day today. Whilst it feels like ages since we last had one, I have little enthusiasm to spend too much time following the occasion this time round

That corporate disclaimer from the Sky guy at the end left a bad taste in the mouth.

How do you hold a balanced debate when someone is saying “racism is bad”?

"Racism is good"

Perhaps one of the tabloids will issue a pull out wall chart showing levels of acceptable racism for different ethnicities.

I'm dreading the inevitable referendum on the reintroduction of the death penalty.

Provided there is irrefutable evidence that the alleged perp is guilty of a heinous crime. Perhaps we could have a dedicated TV channel for the public to vote for whether they get the chop or not. Virgin media remotes already have thumbs up/down buttons which would be ideal for this purpose.

Under the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn we’ve drawn upon the collective knowledge and experience of that movement to develop a radical, ambitious socialist vision for the future. This is our greatest strength, and we need a leader who comes from and will stay true to that movement.

We’ve also, at times, been too close to the establishment we are meant to be taking on – whether cosying up to Rupert Murdoch, joining forces with David Cameron in the Better Together campaign in 2014

To win, we need to rebuild Labour as an insurgent force and offer a vision for a new democracy. We must go to war with the political establishment, pledging a constitutional revolution that sweeps away the House of Lords, takes big money out of politics and radically shifts power away from Westminster.

This is vacuous twatwaffle, at my most kindest. Deffo not getting my vote. Would take Starker and/or Philips. Continuity Corbyn candidates would be a further step back and get a monstering in the press. Had a 12 year old written this, we would indulge them

Mate, I'm not sure if you're keeping up on current events, but you just got your asses kicked.

Quote:

The first: newspapers tend to back who they think will win, and it makes sense to extend some warmth toward them, second, showing it is possible to be working with political enemies to achieve a common goal is a good thing.

Why not resume the relationship? She's got plenty of time on her hands now, after all.

Prince Harry: good luck to him. I don't feel owed.

It's the most important story of the year so far, apparently.

Even more important than the bonging, or otherwise, of Big Ben?

Instead of winning procedural games in parliament, we should have used the aftermath of the referendum result to go around the country, holding public meeting after public meeting to stir up a movement for real change

The racists are going to love this: dropping the number cap of tier two visas and dropping salary requirements means India could benefit hugely as they should do really well from the new system.

It'll be stupid: 1) The "continuity Corbynism" thing will stick. And won't get shaken. She's too close and too much of a darling to the leader for her credibility to be anything but shot to the voting public. 2) Corbynism has been soundly rejected, witnessed by the terrible performance at every election, local, European and general. 3) She's an idiot, after saying the policies she wrote weren't sold better. 4) Having her isolates the centre where the swing voters are to win elections. 5) As wookie said, if they want to play politicians in their boudoir, this is the way about it. 6) "Hi, I'm MaliA. I noticed that there were only 15 people present at the last meeting and many officer positions are effectively vacant. Let me tell you story..." 7) she's not Phillips, and cooper would have also been great
