That Corbyn fella...

Which was ?

You don't really like The Corb, do you? Kinda getting a undertone of discontent.

i don't think anyone is making excuses for the mural business, least of all corbyn, who's stated quite publicly that he was wrong and has apologised unreservedly for his lack of due diligence. it's rather telling that anti semitism seems to be framed as a problem limited to the labour party - it's patently not.

Completely agree with this. Why is this not being spoken of as an all party affair to be collectively worked on?

Great back bench campaigning MP, bit of an 80s left throwback but glad he's around as the aforementioned campaigning mp

As a Labour leader-great as a campaigner, but low on substance, does not think and unlikely to be a PM...

Assuming most of you are remainers then you should bear in mind that he 's not.

He responded perfectly to the poisonings, he called for calm, statesmanlike

That the British should get out of Northern Ireland, duh

What you mean annexing a population against their will?

Sounds lovely.

Out of curiosity were you supportive of the invasion of the Falklands and annexation of Crimea?

Exactly.

Something something about specks and planks in eyes. Especially the right-voting complainants.

statesmanlike

Oh pls no

Are you being sarcastic? Can't tell.

Dunno, I'm talking about Ireland here

He said we needed to wait for more facts to emerge and keep diplomatic channels open with Russia, what's wrong with that or do you lot want another cold war? Grow up, pulling a few diplomats isn't going to do anything other than keep Paul Dacre happy.

Just trying to get a gauge of when you think it's OK to forcibly take over a country.

The first set of PMQ was okay, and could just about be passed off as holding the government to account and wanting all the facts. But the follow up Guardian article "clarifying things" was fucking atrocious.

I never thought I'd say this, but you guys really need to rehire Alastair Campbell.

For the record you can mock TM all you want on this, but politically she's managed to get a huge wave of international support on board.

It's almost as if they don't want to be in power.

Never! Forcibly taking it BACK, that's a different matter

You're not a fucking tory are you?

20 (of 195) countries using it as an excuse to get rid of intelligence officers is a huge wave?

Support for what?

No. And I am no fan of TM. If I had to align myself with a party it would probably be LibDem.

However, I think you're making light of TM's strategy here and inferring that it is ineffective. Whereas from what I can see it has been very effective to date.

By contrast JC has appeared weak and given ammunition to his opponents. And honestly, I do think his personal issues with NATO and the US make it hard for him to take the sort of visibly tough line.

I thought it did the job reasonably well enough. The frantic gnashers are never gonna listen anyway, regardless of whats said.

Let's park the topic of NI. I don't think it's something I'll be able to have a civilised discussion with you about.

Intriguing!

Just to remind you about NI in the 80s

10 years later we had the NI agreement. For which , amongst others, we have Tony Blair to thank for.
