BTW when in the newsagents, yesterday, I saw that the Morning Star had the same headline as the Bell cartoon. So was that sychronicity, or did one of them take that, erm, 'in homage' from t'other?...
I think we were a year and a half into Corbyn's leadership by that point. And no, I wouldn't take anything Umunna says ever as proof of anything at all.Does this offer proof how much it has increased under Corbyn's leadership?
It's all co-ordinated by Momentum, Putin and Seumas Milne Jim!BTW when in the newsagents, yesterday, I saw that the Morning Star had the same headline as the Bell cartoon. So was that sychronicity, or did one of them take that, erm, 'in homage' from t'other?...

They don't look particularly committed to anything as far as I can see. They look like moderates and if they can shift that perception into competent moderates they may have a chance. No idea of their chances.Workable solutions to what? If it's to the problem of an economy unbalanced in favour of finance, to the underrepresentation of working class voters, racism, and endless war, then trust me they are not interested in compromise: they are very committed to these things and they doing their absolute best to burn down the opposition party to prove it. Their actions are those of extremists.
Quite so Tony. Just when it looked as if a bit of fire-fighting by Corbyn might sort things out, a labour MP says that she thinks Israel if funding the seven, now eight, defectors from his party. I think the next Labour Party conference should have at least one day, behind closed doors, on diplomacy and public relations.There is however little doubt that the current Labour leadership have failed to handle the issue or protect Jewish members or MPs. I suspect Corbyn must take the blame for this as he apprars to allow an ideological hatred of Israel to cloud his judgement. Exactly the same paralysis and inaction we see over Brexit.
I offer my sincere condolences to any party member who chooses to cosy up to Soubry in a break away party.Confirmed: Soubry, Allen and Wollaston quit the Conservative Party.

This is excellent news IMHO. My politics have always been center - center/right. I felt much more comfortable when the Conservatives were in the alliance with the Lib Dems. I know I go against the massive flow here but I always felt that Corbyn and the direction of Labour had moved too far to the left to be a credible opposition to the Conservatives. If these defectors, from both parties, act as a protest action to bring both the left and right to a more center ground then that is very good news IMHO.Confirmed: Soubry, Allen and Wollaston quit the Conservative Party.
Presumably we are going to end up with the Anti-Business Party, the Anti-Israel Party and the Pro-People's Vote Party.
It's a whole new political world!
The Green Party will seem old and boring.
Nothing wrong with going against the flow, I would offer that the government you speak of split this country down the middle, leaving a gaping hole in the centre, just an observation after 9 years of Tory rule.This is excellent news IMHO.

What is too far to the left about Labour policies?
Anyone not wet behind the ears can only wonder at these 8/11 being described as centre ground politicians-they are Tories..
That was from 2010
