Morning all. So who is watching tonight? 7pm is a bit early for me but I'm going to do my best. I'm not interested in there being a 'winner'.

Mrs OhSo,it's 21degrees in mine. This is a warm little house though.

Sorry but you are wrong (again) SH. There are even direct quotes from Labour MPs saying they blamed Corbyn for Brexit! There is certainly a case that JC is a hopeless leader and should go ASAP.
