Christmas Tree

That's nearly 40 years ago man in a whole different country. Honestly, if you think a socialist leader (whose MP's don't even want him) has ever got a chance of getting elected, then good look to you. Tonight the Labour Party has ceased to be. It is a dead parrot.

Rubbish. Party's win from the centre. Had the other Milliband won then Labour would be in power now.

I think that's the end of the Labour Party now. Months of a leadership campaign to return to where we were two weeks ago.

Christmas comes early for Theresa May

Corbyn on ballot.

Better?

I'll take that and raise you a.....

Oh Ruth

Unbelievable scenes from NEC meeting.

That's her Corbyn face. Same thing really.

Gets better

Times up

Or that she's fairly euro sceptic yet decided to be loyal to Cameron. Or that Team Remain weren't to keen to have the person in charge of immigration front and centre. Or that she's a very sharpe politician who could see the benefits of keeping a low profile.

Where is the fairness, we ask, for the flys, leaving home in the dark hours of the early morning, who looks up at the closed blinds of their next door neighbour maggots, sleeping off a life on benefits?

Daily politics yesterday had Chukka on and Christine Shawcroft from Labours NEC. I appreciate there's a bit of shit going on but was quite surprised at the level of hatred between them. She wasn't your spotty momentum type that normally gets rolled out, she was 40 years a grass roots veteran. Just can't see how this can be resolved without an absolute bloodbath. If the NEC rules against Corbyn today then the whole shit show could end up in the courts for months. Worth a watch on iplayer if you're bored.

Germany's Siemens embraces 'Project Optimism' in Brexit U-turn. Europe’s largest industrial combine has vowed to press ahead with investment in Britain despite the vote to leave the EU, backing away deftly from earlier suggestions that Brexit would cause a painful freeze on new activities. Joe Kaeser, the chief executive of Siemens, said the German engineering and technology giant remains fully committed to the UK whatever happens, but called on Theresa May to clarify Britain's post-Brexit trade vision as soon as possible and tell the world what kind of country it will become. “We’re here for the long-term and we don’t let ourselves get jerked up and down. We’re staying because the UK is a good place to do business,” he said. Mr Kaeser said the company had been misunderstood in the heat of the Brexit campaign when it was widely seen as a cheer-leader for Remain. Corporate damage-control is underway at the highest level. “We never said the UK is in bad shape if it leaves the EU: we said the EU would miss a massive opportunity. Without the UK, the EU may never be able to stand up against superpowers like China and the US,” he told the Daily Telegraph and three other UK newspapers. Poor lambs were just "misunderstood" during the campaign. No project fear to see here

I'm sure you can work out where the "don't knows" fit in

"He has been courting Susan, a polo enthusiast and economics graduate, for five years. She is the director of communications for an engineering firm". Not your average bimbo.
