I asked you five time in the other thread to clarify what a Blairite was. You had no idea then, and you have no idea now. I have been a member of the Labour Party since April 2010. Before that I was a member of the Lib Dems. I have never actually commented on Tony Blair on this forum, ever, as...

What does that mean?

It's so nice to see you advocating that kinder, gentler politics Jeremy Corbyn has been advocating for.

The irony, presumably lost on you, being that it will now be harder for me to move abroad ...

Agreed, this stalling is now quite odd. But I think Chilcot was something Corbyn was absolutely determined to be around for. He is not showing any signs of resigning, and the PLP have burned their bridges, so fuck knows where we go from here.

5. It was the first time the opposition failed to pick up local seats in a non-election year in about 30 years. And it does have everything to do with the leadership. Surely you'd agree that an awful lot of people don't vote in local elections solely (or at all) on local issues. Local government...

I think the prospect of a general election now looks less likely than was thought, so there is suddenly less of a rush on.

Any good?

I've bought Half Life, the original one, for about £2. I have played it for around an hour, so I'd say that's value for money already.

Look, I voted Remain. I was pretty passionate about it. But Brexit is happening now, so maybe make your peace with it and change the record, yeah?

A bit of news today: https://yougov.co.uk/news/2016/06/30/labour-members-corbyn-post-brexit/ Jeremy's favourable rating among party members has gone from +45 to +3, in less than 2 months. If you click to see the full results, total definite or might vote for Jeremy in another contest is at...

Also, one suspects that Johnson will just run for leader when he thinks the country would be easier to manage.

I suppose that actually makes sense. He didn't think Leave would win. He thought Remain would win, and he would sweep to victory in a leadership contest when Cameron eventually resigned later (given vast majority of Tory party members favoured coming out), without having to deal with the mess of...

The Parliamentary Conservative Party do not really like Johnson and a lot of them absolutely hate him. He can command some young supporters who hope for future favour (and haven't been burned by his stupid shit in the past) but a lot of people who will have been giving him the nod so far just...

The election contest was a double-edged sword, being the first one where it was one-member, one-vote, and it was made too easy to join the party. Old-school left wing socialists have always wanted the Labour Party to be a left-wing socialist party, rather than a centre-left social democratic...

The FA would be wise to crawl, obsequiously, to crawl to the door of Arsene Wenger and beg. Of course, if the plan is to staff the next England team with Kevin Davies, Emile Heskey, Joey Barton, Neil Ruddock, and half a dozen MMA fighters, by all means offer the job to Sam Allardyce.

It is no longer obvious. As mentioned before, he won 59% against 3 opponents. He has, despite what some of his fans will tell you, lost some of his original support. Against one person (Tom Watson or Angela Eagle, undecided as to which as I understand it), it will be a damn close run thing.

The number one job of the Labour leader is to make Labour electable. Corbyn's current approval rating (when polled on the general public) is about -22. For context, after the same amount of time as leader, Kinnock was about neutral, and Miliband was -8. Whether or not you think the reporting on...

It has been a shambles, and there are a lot of Labour MPs I think have been total arseholes about this. But they are mostly the ones that refused to serve in shadow cabinet when Jeremy was elected. All the people resigning now have had a fair go at making this work. The Labour Party has to look...

See, 1-0 already. Fuckin' told you.
