http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-34944499 Senior shadow cabinet members are seeking to defuse a row over UK air strikes in Syria that threatens to split the Labour Party. Leader Jeremy Corbyn is against air strikes - putting him at odds with more than half of his top team. He faced warnings of...

This vote will be tthe making of the Corbyn leadership. Even if he is ousted he will have been on the right side of history, and once again the 'moderates' will have damned us to hell. Syria is going to be a disaster of unparalelled proportions; it will make Iraq look well planned and organised. Th...

Morning. From todays Independent,Labour have paid off their £25 million debt,and are only moving around the corner. This is good news,isn't it?Although no mention of all the extra funding achieved since after the election.You know,all the £3ers and the huge rise in membership .Deranged leftwing cult...

Corbyn's letter to mp's ScreenShot01123.jpg Sounds perfectly reasonable to me. Me too. Corbyn has written to MPs and told them what is happening right now,he wants a meeting on Monday for further discussions. What the hell is wrong with that? This is important,really important.Peoples lives are on ...

I accept I'm probably unwelcome here nowadays but I'm truly shocked at the ease with which, collectively, you are refusing to acknowledge the depths Ken Livingstone has sunk to with his insulting remarks.

There have been too many days recently when I've had an overwhelming desire to crawl under the duvet and leave a note on top saying 'tell me when it's safe to come out and the numpties have stopped shouting'.

Morning. Mrs Ohso,seeing clearly and Mr Snozers,I couldn't agree more. What a dreary bunch of people.Instead of trying to ensure Labour succeed they are doing their utmost to take a hatchet to Corbyn. When do we hear the opinion of these naysayers on the thousands of people joining Labour since Corb...

What a lot of doubters. Despite the press not jumping on Cameron: 60,000 + on Sunday's march consisting of dozens of different protest groups including the Green Party. 1,500 inside Manchester Cathedral to hear him speak right on the Tories doorstep, and 6,500 outside who turned up to hear him spea...

Afternoon. I would like to ask anyone here, or elsewhere for that matter, who comes out with the phrase 'what Corbyn should have said' (or words to that effect) to put themselves forward and become elected as an mp.Then,having done that,win a clear mandate as party leader,maybe approximately 60% of...

From UK Polling Report Of course it’s early days and Corbyn has a long time to build trust. To use a well worn metaphor, it’s a marathon, not a sprint. That said, Corbyn’s start hasn’t been good: rather than a honeymoon, he’s had an initial week of bad press and perceived gaffes. It’s not a surpris...

Morning. I saw the link to the poll about Corbyn. Is it any wonder people may feel less than enthusiastic about him so soon after his landslide election. Yes, landslide, even though the word may stick in the craw of some. With so many Labour people dissing Corbyn in the media, running him down here...

Hi Grim,nice to see you.
There is a comment is free piece today,sorry no links,written by a father who lost a son in Iraq.
