    All except the 'Corbyn-led' bit is fine with me.
    The control that Milne and others have over him is too dangerous for words. You can guess who made the decision to reinstate Williamson for example.
    Any leader who makes that call yet allows Hoey to stay in the party is not fit to run a bath let alone a coalition.

    Corbyn can't kick out Hoey, let alone any other MP - the local parties have to hit them with a No Confidence vote, but just because they lose a No Confidence vote doesn't mean they're immediately removed as MP, as demonstrated by the fact that Kate Hoey, Gavin Shuker, Joan Ryan and Chrie Leslie have all lost No Confidence votes yet none were immediately removed as the No Confidence vote is merely the first part of the process

    Also, far more importantly, a party leader being able to boot out any MP who doesn't fall in line is not a path any party should go down because at best you're going to get outrage (faux or otherwise) that Corbyn booted out the likes of Hoey or Margaret Hodgeshite because something something Marxism - at worst that's outright dictatorship

    That's why, at present, the only way for a Labour MP to be immediately deselected is if they are convicted of a crime, as happened with Fiona Onasanya in Peterborough which triggered the recent by-election

    Well, fair enough - that's more a sad indictment of the Party then.
    But his lack of anything approaching leadership over the past 3 years does little to inspire confidence that he could lead a national coalition.
    But if Labour don't sort out their position on Brexit once and for all then they face being irrelevant as an electoral force.

    It's not just Labour, though, as the exact same thing is true of the Tories - which has been systematically abused by Arron Banks' mob in recent months, with them infiltrating local parties to trigger No Confidence votes against Dominic Grieve and Nick Boles because they aren't falling in line with what Nigel Farage wants - and LeaveDotEU have actually confirmed this is exactly what is going on, gloating about it on Twitter when Boles was slapped with a No Confidence vote (and by the looks of it, they have their sights set on the Brecon by-election next, even though the Tory who got bumped from his seat was pro-Leave)

    And it's in no way because of the criminal behaviour that Darren Grimes was involved in. Honest.

    Ozzy Osbourne has told Trump to stop using his song Crazy Train at his political rallies.
    Quite possibly because some of the lyrics are a little too on the nose:

    I've listened to preachers, I've listened to fools
    I've watched all the dropouts who make their own rules
    One person conditioned to rule and control
    The media sells it and you live the role

    Mental wounds still screaming
    Driving me insane
    I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
    I'm going off the rails on a crazy train

    Canada has added two white supremacist groups to it's terrorist organisation list.
    Blood & Honour and Combat 18 join ISIS, Al Qaeda, Boko Haram and the like.
    Both of them are English. How do you export nationalism? ****'s sake. <doh>

    So you know that photo of Boris Johnson and Carrie Symonds that was doing the rounds the other day to say everything is fine and they absolutely did not have a blazing row that caused the police to be called during the small hours of Friday morning? Yeah, a few people noticed that Boris' haircut in the photo does not match his current one, meaning that photo had to have been taken several months ago...

    On the subject of the bullying manchild...

    There will probably be plenty of cocaine as well, even if they start kicking out the Eastern European Organised Crime gangs.

    As loathe as I am to congratulate a Tory, congratulations to David Gauke for fending off the No Confidence vote he was facing entirely because Arron Banks stuffed his local party with entryists to try and purge anyone who does not conform to Nigel's will

    The fact that Banks is actively advertising this is what's happening needs to be investigated PFQ

    Legalise it, regulate it, tax it and destroy a massive source of income for organised crime.
