So - now that Corbyn has demonstrated how tough he is, we now have the MSM droning on about how his aides have refused a one-to-one meeting with Watson because of a "duty of care" to an old man. What the fickety feckity fock is that all about? Meanwhile, the dream candidate is nowhere to b...

Ephemerid: Do you think there is still any hope for us at the bottom? I`m at the despair level and sinking. On another note, do you think it would be ok for me to mail you private as I could really do with some advice re PiPs, and you are the only person I trust to tell me the truth. Many thanks in...

Corbyn, apparently, has no support outside London. So who were the thousands rallying in Manchester, Durham, Liverpool, Leeds, and Cardiff? There was even a a little rally in Penzance! Tem's right - he has been very tough in all this. And still there is not one single Labour MP brave enough to stand...

Please - let's not argue. We have more similarities than differences. Please. We've been here before, and lost good people as a result.

OMG - rain stops play at 3 games all, final set, break point......Corbyn's fault, obvs.

The game between Dustin Brown and Nick Kyrgios is going into the 5th. set - the first four took just 1hr.42mins. Bonkers.

Brown s a brilliant and gorgeous as ever - and Kyrgios is actually behaving himself. Terrific stuff.

Apparently the list of 500 Labour councillors who were said to oppose Corbyn has, er, "disappeared".

I can't be arsed to look for it.

Quite a lot of councillors were irate that their names were on without their consent. Mainly because they don't oppose Corbyn.

Whoops!

Welcome, Third. Have a bit of cake. (You can't have it all, or Tiny Clanger will get the 'ump. And the biccies are for CJA, sorry.)

Right. I've had enough of all this. It seems to me that some people are attributing to Corbyn things he has not said or done. The dis-loyalists can't get their stories straight. Then we have people who derided Ed Milband, said he was useless, and are now treating his statement as if it were holy eff...

Corbyn.has shown by his actions before and after the referendum that he is for Leave. I agree with Johnson abd the bulk of the PLP: he deliberately sabotaged the campaign. (My edit) No, he hasn't.

One week ago today, our Parliamentarians sat in the House of Commons and eulogised a murdered democrat, Jo Cox.

Morning Howsillyofme, yahyah, and all.

Ferrets fighting in a sack - blind, vicious, messy, and ultimately pointless.
