If, as is most likely, Labour don’t get enough seats to form a government, the Blairites in the party will bear a huge part of the blame for not supporting their elected leader fully.

Corbyn was on Good Morning Britain this morning, and despite very hostile questioning by Schofield and Willoughby, came over as a very affable, jolly bloke, just as he does when he meets ordinary people out campaigning. He only ever comes across as a bit angry and grouchy when he’s making a passionate speech or debating with Tories.

Talking of Tories, did anyone know about this?

Yet the UK can spend untold amount of money updating its weapons system. Country would fall apart if it didn't, would it?

I wonder how many brexiteers are saying they will vote tory/Brexit party to save face, but will have secretly changed their tiny minds and will vote otherwise. Lots I hope !
My biggest fear is that there are Remainers who will cave in just to get the uncertainty over. Personally, I'd rather have uncertainty continue than have the certainty of a disasterous exit from the EU. To Remainers - don't do the wrong thing just to get an event over. Stick up for what you want and what you are certain is good for the country as a whole. Not for rich tax dodgers or an elite 5% of the population.

Blaming the Blairites just isn't credible. Momentum have controls of the levers of power within the party and have deliberately isolated anyone who doesn't support their agenda. With such a disorganised and chaotic series of administrations that we have suffered over the last decade, and particularly the last three years there is no excuse for Labour not being ten per cent ahead let alone that amount behind. I think that the Blairite line is just being readied fir Friday week. My feeling is that McClusky has a lot to answer for here with his attachment to Brexit.

This story on Newsnight right is looking very bad for the Tories. Will the press pick up amd run with fhe 100,000 violent and sexual offenses with suspects released wunder investigation without any limits on their movement? A law specifically created by May in 2017? They were very quick to incorrenctly blame Labour for the release of last week's terrorist...

No, it’s appalling that Labour haven’t been funded by billionaire tax exiles and Russian oligarchs like the Tories, or have 90% of the written press rubbishing the Tories, or have the BBC on their side like the Tories.

No excuse whatsoever. <doh>
