He didn't have to reach out. So he didn't. The PLP would have behaved no differently if the positions were reversed.

Putting Owen Smith in the Northern Ireland slot shows Milne has a sense of humour. Nothing more.

It is possible that Theresa May responded more quickly to the Cadbury Easter egg hunt nonsense than she did to Grenfell Tower.

Yes. The tactic had been to position the party to the left of Labour in the way that worked for Chucky Bum, but that was closed off.
The Remain tactic looked like a winner, until it became apparent that almost nobody gave a shit about the most important issue by far because they didn't understand it.
Re: Wednesday 14th June 2017
Just saw Theresa May interviewed on TV. Sombre and vague. Then the interviewer interposed a question on the DUP talks. A smile and a laugh (she just about managed not to sing "tra-la-la") and then a sudden remembrance that she was supposed to be being sombre. Dire.

Usual caveat as regards "running".
Re: Wednesday 14th June 2017
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/liv ... timer-roadRe Grenfell Tower -
The absence of the council on the street as hundreds of families were homeless was concerning, said Judith Bakeman, a Labour councillor at Kensington and Chelsea. “There’s been so many cuts, there aren’t enough people to deal with this.”
Referring to Notting Hill Methodist church’s Rev Mike Long, she said: “Mike has been running this centre giving people food and water all day and not a single person from the council has been here.”
As we spoke, a volunteer from the Harrow Club and Latimer AP Academy came to tell the councillor she had 138 beds available. He said that no one official had been to the centre and he didn’t know what to do with that information.
