I rarely post here these days and often don't read. The reason is that every day I know that 3 or 4 posters will dominate the board with their anti-Corbyn doginamangerism.

I think absolutely lots of people are appalled at what Cadbury's have become, and there's a point to be made out of the takeover code, and the rights of the workers.

What has cost the Labour Party most can be summed up in three letters: BBC It no longer feels the need to hold the government to account. Always at least 3 right wingers on QT.

Indeed. The irony being that the swift withdrawal has hit the Unilever share price hard. Makes it even more tempting.

ULVR is down 7%. It was up 13% on Friday. I'm still smiling. Kerching!

I've come round a bit, the rest of the judgement is good news. In a non-partisan, yes it is.

@willow What I'm trying to say is that it's better for Labour to take a holding position that is deliberately vague and flexible as there are so many unknowns, (known and especially Unknown), in the next few months.

Sure, but its not as simple as some like to make out. And unrealistic demands from some remainers like "stop Brexit" don't help. No, the demands calling for a halt of current Tory government's 'Brexit' actions aren't unrealistic. Neither is it unreasonable to expect Labour coherently comm...

I made the mistake of listening to half an hour of QT last night. DD allowed the right wing loons to drone on at length including one particularly ill-informed kipper in the audience but kept talking over the rest. I wish he'd take the retirement he should have taken twenty years ago and STFU.

Yes. Probably said what JC is thinking but can't say.

You think JC favours a second referendum!

I think he wants to tease out the Tories' plans and give it some thought then. In the meantime he can make the Tories more unpopular.
