I don't think any of the court cases were a good idea. The whole thing is a massive farce. It should always have been more difficult to join Labour than just '£3 and you get a vote immediately etc.' but there was no point in trying to stop people voting after the fact. As ever, you build up...

Then again we could always brighten the mood:

As ever, when you have nothing to say you resort to being abusive and telling people they should leave. You never engage with arguments or ideas. If you're typical of other Corbyn supporters, that's a pity, because it's childish and unhelpful.

Highly relevant, really. Last night Jeremy Corbyn said he was ahead in the polls before the 'coup'. This was not true. JC and his acolytes care very much about polling if they think they can use it to their advantage, though. Not so much when it's telling them what they don't want to hear.

Well my evidence, frequently re-iterated, is that all polling and public opinion is rabidly anti-Corbyn, and if that an election were held today, the Tories would probably win a 100 seat majority. Thus, a move away from Corbyn and his 'lets nationalise pharmaceuticals' style ideas can only be an...

I am surprised at the lack of love for the Olympics on 1FF. So far I've watched Hockey, Rugby 7s, Swimming, Athletics, Diving, Archery, Boxing, Judo, Fencing. Possibly some others I've forgotten! I reckon we might get a medal in the men's synchonised 3m diving, which is currently underway.

Hiya Dave, CBT can be varied in how it's delivered and the quality of who delivers it. I've had three experiences with it: firstly when I was ten, as I was having a lot of issues with mild-moderate obsessive compulsive disorder. I had several one-to-one sessions with a child therapist. Child...

Speaking from personal experience, I find that sometimes when you're in quite a good place, you'll get the odd anxious day or two seemingly from nowhere. Some good advice I was given is that it's great if you know what triggers your symptoms, but even if you don't, the most important thing is to...

On non-Corbyn news, Andy Burnham has won the nomination to be Manchester's mayoral candidate ...

It's mixed. There was good and there was bad. I much prefer having a Labour government to having a Conservative one. The Corbyn wing are split into two types of people: those who don't want to govern, and those who think the public are about to change their mind about him and make him PM. I...

I say we all just go to Dagenham, you poofs.

I am happy to support Labour candidates, despite any differences of opinions on some issues. I am hopeful that it is possible for everyone to move forward together, but I do strongly feel that some on the left of the party are more interested in purifying Labour than they are uniting with those...

Well, this evening the results of Labour's National Executive Committee elections were announced, and Corbyn supporters overwhelmingly won. So, the Corbyn wing have now won the operating section of the party. The part of the Labour Party I identify with won 3 general elections, introduced the...

This is a great idea, but Camden manages to be both a massive dive and horribly expensive at the same time.

The problem is that he's not even making any effort to win over members of the Labour party that don't agree with him. His control of the party is not absolute. He appears to be trying to build up Momentum and his followers into a movement, but to what end it is genuinely not apparent. It might...

You are presenting the videos/pictures of the rallies without comment. You obviously assume they speak for themselves. I don't really understand what the point is. For example: http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/politics/jeremy-corbyn-rallies-wales-attract-11713120 Local newspaper estimates...

Not quite sure what you mean. People who earn more pay more tax, and this is generally understood. Also applies to the NHS. I don't really follow your point on 'every legal high available' and think you're chasing some weird straw man on this. Or 'polling of the general public', as it is...

There is no data on what percentage of people on benefits voted for anyone. And we're currently not distinguishing between in- and out-of-work benefits. Frankly, if some turkeys want to vote for Christmas, that's their business, but I see no reason to demonise anyone in need of support. And re...

Straight talking, honest bottling politics: http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/jul/30/corbyn-accused-of-bottling-hustings-with-smith-after-rejecting-debate

I think the electorate have drifted to the right on things like immigration. When it comes to nationalisation, they're to the left of most politicians. The public don't have one coherent set of views and ideas, and so that's why I think it's important how you package ideas and offer them to...
