Aside from proving once again that it doesn't matter how many Corbyn supporters turn up at a rally, nobody's going to vote for him, this is a massive result for the Lib Dems. I know the area quite well and it's surprising to say the least. Especially the collapse of the Ukip vote. 31.8% swing is huge.

I don't think it's too surprising. Lib Dems have been strong in Sheffield in the past. Labour's London centric leadership ignore their northern working class core at their peril..
Strong in Sheffield yes but Mosborough is usually staunch Labour with rising support for Ukip. That's why this is an eye opener. Agree with your second sentence entirely btw.

So we enter the conference season and it will be interesting to see how those anti Corbyn MP,s react to his leaders speech ? Will they turn-up ? If so will they stand and clap ? Could be interesting.

I reckon the whole thing will go much along these lines.

False smiles, gritted teeth, lukewarm applause? This could be the last Labour conference before a possible split/schism, popcorn at the ready.

Might be worth merging todays Thornberry thread with this one as both are concerned with the basic incompetence of the current Labour Shadow Cabinet and the likely consequences to Labour the next time Voters have their say via the Ballot Box?

Not content with just sending condolences to the victims of 9/11 he has to qualify the statement with a deliberately inflammatory caveat.

What's strange though is that when he previously said "I’m happy to commemorate all those who died fighting for an independent Ireland" he made no mention of the IRA victims.

Four singer/songwriter/poets.
Four comedians (more than four if you also count some of the following speakers as comedians).
Six political speakers.
All in three hours; a sort of left wing speed dating thing then.................

In fairness to him he intends to bite them very quickly and then get to the match!

Like a heavyweight champion boxer he can only beat who is put in front of him.
On today's evidence at PMQs he still needs to find tougher opponents.
I'm sure it has been said elsewhere but the full extent of the disaster that is this country sleepwalking into Brexit combined with extended years of self-serving Tory government cannot be overestimated.
Yeah agree, can only see this ending one way
As a Tory I cannot wait for the Labour party conference, it is going to be must see television for so many reasons. Firstly to watch JC and his disciples looking untouchable as they attempt to walk on water, then to see the panic on some of their faces as the party begins to split, and lastly to hopefully see the beginnings of a genuine opposition to the one party state we are becoming. Bring it on!

If you want a foretaste then I'd recommend BBC iPlayer and watching PMQs from today.
Theresa May's pathetic attempt at a flagship policy on grammar schools was blown out of the water by Jeremy Corbyn. Relying on intelligent analysis of the available evidence, in order to determine the best interests of the many in our country and not the privileged minority, he was able to slaughter May and expose her for the dull old Tory that she is. More of the same please!
