At the same time, a really strong Conservative government is not something I particularly want to see. I really like Nicola Sturgeon so wish I lived in Scotland! Speaking of which, I saw some tweets earlier which suggested again that Labour is ruling out any sort of pact with the SNP, which I think...

If I was a Labour MP I would vote this down, I think there must either think its the only way of getting rid of their leader or I have no idea. There can't claim, she only doing this for her own means then happily vote to allow it to happen. An opposition not wanting an election ? They'd lose (even...

Interesting times. Weak Labour, UKIP a spent political force, a potential resurgent Lib Dems.

So the best that Labour can come up with is Angela Eagle. She failed in her own bid for deputy leader 10 months ago and her constituency party support Corbyn.

Labour now in full meltdown.
