Blair has a lot on his conscience. But why is their no criticism of the soldiers who sign up to kill ? Without them there would be no war. The willing recruits who buy the macho myth about 'our heroes', and sign up, are the ones who fire the weapons. Morfters all.... In my experience people sign on...

Hypotheticals time. Eagle (alone) stands against Corbyn who ignores calls to stand down. Assuming Corbyn won, what would you expect the majority of Labour MPs to do?

The SNP will ask to be the official opposition in the Commons says the Guardian. Wouldn't be surprised if the SNP start an England/Wales franchise. By whom? Surely that's not possible, is it?

Precisely. I find I cannot consider this democratic. (just so you know, as others have said, other views are both available and legitimate) In David Cameron's case, it's a complete abdication of responsibility.

@Willow904 Ed Miliband is the former Labour leader we got cheated out of having in government. Corbyn having Miliband working in a more prominent position now is a strong move providing continuity.
