Go back and tell me exactly where Dom asked for a comparison between the trustworthiness of Corbyn and Alexander? He asked a specific question about Johnson's trustworthiness, so I answered with facts about Johnson. I didn't mention the trustworthiness of Swinson, or Farage, or the two Green...

I'll take your word for it that it was co-incidence - it is a common phrase. You may have subconsciously noticed it even though it was about someone else and ended up using it without realising. No idea what you're meaning by "So was this Abbott?"

Just co-incidence you used the same term as Grendel then? She wasn't out in the cold. She may have been loitering in the corner but she was always in the room.

Because you're making an assumption Abbott only got the job because of that relationship, despite the fact she wasstill prominent throughout her non Shadow cabinet years and has clearly had a similar thinking to Corbyn more to the left which in a Labour party that had moved to the right and had...

Why did you put the question mark then? Only makes sense if you're questioning my use of the term. I think you'd seen Grendel's post and used the term mistakenly, which is fine. I was just pointing out I hadn't used that term

Deflection using hypothetical scenario. It's not like Diane Abbott was hiding in a cupboard during that time - she was still very prominent in the party, parliament and in the media during that time. People will have others they feel they work well with and have a similar mindset to. I believe...

I didn't use that term, Grendel did. As for why doesn't Corbyn do anything - he should. But we all know if he can shy away from conflict he will.

While I agree that any such behaviour at any level of the company is totally unacceptable there is a massive difference between relationships between employees (even those at different levels) and harassment. This problem with harassment and the way he and the company were dealing with it was...

Unacceptable. I know we need as many people through the gates as possible but neanderthals like that can fuck right off. Not welcome.

Don't really know and unlikely we will for some time. N'Gandu was (and still is) even more highly thought of but has yet to make his mark. Though he is still technically an academy second year.

Trying to change the question again I see. So what if she was sacked (which I said she had been) and out of cabinet for three years - she was in a shadow cabinet and thus quite high profile in the Labour party before Corbyn. That was the point. It's not like she was brought in out of nowhere by...

I agree that is unacceptable. Maybe her constituency has a high percentage of black voters but that is still unacceptable. A white person doing the same in very white areas like the Home Counties or South West would be unacceptable. EDIT: Just seen the thing about it being fake

Left. Socialist. In simplified terms more traditional Labour than New Labour She was Shadow Health Minister under Miliband. Surely someone as capable, talented and independent minded as yourself is capable of finding information by yourself? Or are you the type that gets everyone else to do...

I think Miliband may have removed from her cabinet position because of comments that were unacceptable. But she has also had occasions where she has legitimate cause because she has been harassed and abused because of both her her gender and race. That doesn't make her comments OK, because she...

I would like this to be true, but those that would take advantage are those that will use that power to keep it quiet or discredit those making the allegations. This doesn't appear to be either of those and I don't think will have the slightest effective on anyone, male or female, who uses their...

I'm seeing a few instances of this being a win for #metoo and a clear message about behavior like harrassment of subordinates . Despite it being consensual and no information on who instigated the relationship.

I'm not a fan of hers at all. Like most politicians she's got a vastly over-optimistic opinion of her own abilities and she has been known to play the race (and gender) card for her own ends (although also with legitimate cause). But it seemed to be inferring that Abbott was in the shadow...

No, his name is Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson. His close friends and associates refer to him as Al, Alex, Alexander or Xander. I've explained elsewhere why I call him by his actual name - Boris is a character I believe he created from a young age to disassociate himself from his worst...

1. Not denying that. It wasn't a comparison though. It was a direct answer to whether 'BORIS' can be trusted. 2. How can someone who's never been PM give someone a seat in cabinet? Plus she'd been a member of a previous shadow cabinet and had been a big voice in the Labour party for some time.

The what about all the times he's done stuff against Tory policy or against the Tory leader for his own personal gain? You asked could you trust him on Brexit and I've just pointed out the many instances both personally and professionally when he couldn't be. Before anyone points out Corbyn...
