Morning all.

Good morning.


Isn't criticising Corbyn for being vain like criticising the sea for being wet? He's a politician, vanity's a fundamental characteristic, otherwise you wouldn't put yourself forward for it.
I'm sure there are a few honorable exceptions but I can't think of any offhand.

Going back a bit there, though.

On reflection I think Ed Miliband might be less vain than most, maybe that was part of his problem.

My takeaway from yesterday is that, improbably, Johnson is even worse than I thought and it's a miracle there weren't twice as many deaths, although it's not over yet.

Looking for positives among the leadership in England and it's hard to get beyond Whitty having his heart in the right place and Bingham's considerable organisational skills.

Certainly not as vain as his brother......
