Re: Weekend 1st & 2nd June 2024
I think you should go to Bassetlaw and ask the local Labour party what they think of the "Corbyn never did this" claim. But anyway, Akehurst becoming an MP might have one positive aspect if it helps de-mystify him. At the moment lots of online types seem to credit him with all but supernat...

Re: Friday 31st May 2024
It seems clear that some sort of deal between the leadership and Abbott was all but agreed on Monday night - when some bright spark in the party decided to chuck their grenade in. Who that was, and why, is very much of interest to many of us.

Re: Thursday 30th May 2024
Already some comments that "over 90% of his voters will stick with him".
Now, it would certainly be better if that figure was lower - but he can't afford to lose that many voters if he wants to win.

Except that if and when Labour are in power, they will find ways of doing things.
