Hope you enjoyed the first of the six debates a few nights back, Timmy.
The courts have again ruled in favour of democracy this morning which is to be welcomed.
Howard Gayle has told Lizzie to stick her MBE up her arse 
Very disappointing the court decided to shut out the last bunch of Socialist Workers Party and moronic students from voting. He was definately winning before.
Perhaps you might consider improving yourself by becoming a student and taking a course in remedial spelling?
Bloody right . In Ireland we want an unelectable Labour Party. A good Tory ran economy is best for Ireland .
Sad to see this, Sid can’t defend Corbs so resorts to this 
Lolz, Smith is talking to the people who have fled the Labour Party. When are the metropolitan champagne socialists going to wake up about the real issues their working class base have?
“Oh post another Corbs meme, that’ll show the Tories!”
I have no time for Jel’s beliefs but I’d vote for him anyday ahead of that plastic blairite cunt Owen Smith.
I thought it was rather amusing how you were denigrating other people’s education yet weren’t able to spell an extremely well known word.
Defend Corbyn from what?
Your shit spelling and boring, shit attempts at sarcasm?
Why on earth would I be bothered doing that?
Have Fun Boy Three commented yet?
Not your best.
Three months ago, I stood on a boat with Nigel Farage as it was chased up and down the Thames by an enraged Bob Geldof on a pleasure cruiser. At the time, I felt reasonably certain that politics in 2016 was unlikely to throw up an occasion more surreal.
But perhaps I spoke too soon, because this afternoon Jeremy Corbyn called a press conference in London to announce that he’d secured the endorsement of Birmingham-born 1980s pop-reggae act UB40.
I went along, if only to prove to myself that it was really happening. Remarkably, it was. There, sitting beneath a large sign that read “UB4Corbyn”, were the Labour leader and five members of UB40. (There used to be others, but they left to form a separate band some years ago after an acrimonious split. I believe this is what is known in literary circles as “a metaphor”.)
“Thank you to UB40 for this incredible endorsement,” began Mr Corbyn, in all seriousness. The men from UB40 nodded graciously.
While journalists looked at each other, and then at UB40, and then at each other again, Mr Corbyn embarked on a short but circuitous paean to the importance of music, in which he pledged to create “a space for all of us to be included in cultural values”, and spoke about the pleasure an acquaintance had recently derived from witnessing a performance by a Romanian folk ensemble (“Surely that’s a good thing”).
“Let’s learn from the great music that’s been made,” he concluded, “by bands like UB40.” He sat down.
In theory, Mr Corbyn was now due to answer questions. Instead he seemed more interested in asking them. He was practically hosting his own edition of Later with Jools Holland. “Do you,” he said, turning to the nearest member of UB40, “like classical music?”
“Occasionally,” said the man from UB40.
The man added something about Birmingham being a cultural melting pot. “That was before they got rid of the motorways,” murmured Mr Corbyn, mysteriously.
The Labour leader also asked UB40 about life on the road, why they thought this country was so artistically creative, and how they went about writing music. “To be honest,” replied the man who occasionally liked classical, “we do everything arse-backwards.” Mr Corbyn nodded thoughtfully.

I was growing eager to ask a question of my own – specifically, “Am I dreaming this?” – but instead a young woman in the audience was called on. “What do you think politicians,” she asked, “can learn from bands?”
“Teamwork,” replied Mr Corbyn firmly. “Working together. That’s what bands do.” Everyone looked at the remaining members of UB40. “Well,” added Mr Corbyn, “until they fall out.”
And that, pretty much, was that. I’m sorry we never quite got to the bottom of what on earth was going on, but perhaps it’s best just to let it slide. This is politics in 2016. It’s just the sort of thing that happens now.
Tomorrow: Owen Smith secures the backing of Kajagoogoo.
Brilliant.
Would that be Keith vaz and his two pals?
