I thought he was an 80's comedian?

It's not just that one seat, it's how the whole nonsense could affect people's voting intentions elsewhere. As I've said if there are people outside of the constituency that would use Corbyn staying (or going) as a reason for not voting Labour then on the whole I'd say they'll be looking for a...

If a single backbench MP popular with his constituents keeping his seat is enough to make them not vote for Labour I'd suggest it's people looking for any excuse to not vote for Labour. Half of those that would say they didn't vote for Labour because Corbyn stayed would probably also say they...

Don't involve him on the front bench or in nationwide campaigns then. I think having Corbyn as an independent will get far more media and prove way more of a distraction. Also a good chance that Labour could lose the seat because of it. There are far more important issues to be spending time on...

Isn't that a mouth?

Why would it have to be called the House Of Lords? They have seats in the lower chamber but choose not to attend. They could do exactly the same in the upper house.

A bit like MR. He had somewhere were he just seemed to fit. Since then he's not been particularly successful.

It's not so much the change of leader that bothers me, as we vote for a party not the leader, but when that new leader just ignores the manifesto on which the party were elected and just do whatever they want, like Truss. In that instance there is no mandate from the people for what they are...

Parties already have the power to choose appointments. That's why it's so bloated. Every time there's a change in party the new party elect a load of new Lords to have some sort of control of it. At least PR based on the public vote limits how many they can appoint. And there's no requirement to...

Or.... it means that due to no party having overall control legislation has to be more measured and we end up with better laws.

No, because HoC is constituency based and could very conceivably be ruled by a party that actually didn't receive the highest number of votes. Basing it on vote percentage leads to a significant change. Had a look at the last few elections. These are what would happen if the upper chamber had...

How can it be a weakening of the law-making process when it can be effectively controlled by the party in government with new appointments. Just gets bigger and bigger and costs more? Plus the government can overrule them and push legislation through anyway, using the excuse they have no mandate...

Keane and Dublin. Nuddy in behind.

Way before anyone's time now. 1920's/30's I think - time of Bourton etc. Forward line was outside left, inside left, centre forward, inside right, outside right.

Was that under SISU? Play in Northampton and Birmingham, train in Dublin?

Because I don't give a fuck about Man City winning the Champions League.

Special treatment for those with haemorrhoids?

So you think our protesting is similar to that of the French?

Erm, I think a lot are arguing the Brits are spineless non-protesters.
