Did you see the "news". He also ignored pretty dramatically any questions. Haha another left wing messenger, that only has one, and is incapable of receiving any.

mikey, that is a better link :0)

Any views on the story?

[mikey4444]

I only know what you know.

[naomi24]

//Last week Mr Corbyn said he would encourage any woman who had been abused or harassed by MPs to speak out//

All talk then. No change there.

Well then you know, and I know, that Corbyn knew that Hopkin's had been reprimanded for harassing a young activist.

Any views?

[-Talbot-]

Aww Talbot you have spoiled it now. Mikey was going to start a new thread with that.

[ladybirder]

For those who are interested he's on Gogglebox tonight along with one or both of the Gallagher brothers.

I am aure Corbo said
I am not appointing him to the Ministry of Safe=guarding and Kiddie canoodling so it is irrelevant
that big q can he run a ministry ?
( and give him a pair of knickers with a padlock on)

Cornyn, Abbott and McDonnell are the gifts that never stop giving.

A completely talentless triumvirate.

Still, despite how laughable they are (and they are truly laughable) it intrigues me why Labour supporters think they are a viable alternative to what is a weak Conservative Government.

Give me what we've currently got over these three potentially holding the three highest offices any day of the week.

I'm not being obtuse in genuinely, head-scratchingly, being utterly bewildered as to how anybody can think they are a more favourable alternative.

//A Welsh Labour spokesperson confirmed that Sargeant had been suspended from party membership – and therefore the Labour whip in the Welsh assembly – “while an investigation into allegations received takes place”.
In a statement released on Friday, Sargeant said: “I met with the first minister today and he informed me allegations had been made about my personal conduct, which was shocking and distressing to me. The details of the allegations have yet to be disclosed to me.//

//“Given the nature of the allegations, I agreed with the first minister that it was right that I stand aside from cabinet today.//

Both quotes from Sargeant. Now the last line of the first quote and the first line of the second take some stretch of the imagination. How can he "know" the nature of the accusation if he doesn't know the details of the complaint?

[-Talbot-]

Togo, mikey can start the 'Clive Lewis' thread.

[Togo]

//Labour MP Clive Lewis has denied an allegation that he groped a woman at the party’s annual conference.
The Labour Party is investigating after a formal complaint was made against the Norwich South MP.
Mr Lewis is alleged by the woman to have hugged her and given her backside “a big squeeze” at a conference event, it has been reported.//

What this one? I thought he had already done it. You know how quick he is to point such things out. :))

Does Mikey always purposely steer well clear of any thread that shows Labour in a less than flattering light?

I ask as I've seen a few threads that appear to suggest he does.

I've also seen loads of questions posted by Mikey, and questions where he's contributed, when it's the Tories in the firing line.

Didn't Jezza's biographer one recollect, He invited five Labour colleague back to his bedsit in 1979 to collect Leaflets. Recalls one: "There on the mattress on the floor in the one room is Diane with the duvet up to her neck saying "What the **** is going on?" Adds the source 'Jeremy was slightly showing off.' Haha perhaps the next revelation is somewhere down that murky road? Depends on who gets in first though I would think.

[Deskdiary]

NB - I can see he's on this thread.....but without giving any comment on what is, without question (if true) at best a truly embarrassing situation for Corbyn and at worst the turning of a blind eye, and therefore tacit acceptance, simply because pretty much any Labour MP with any talent doesn't want to be associated Corbyn and his clowns on the shadow bench.

Cheers Ladybirder, I decided to tune in.
I got 2 of the university challenge Q's correct ... despite one of the questions being asked worded incorrectly.

Bamber Paxman asked about the collective name of a bird from New Zealand ... I didn't know the collective name but told my mate the bird was a Moa.
The answer Bamber gave was 'Moas' when in fact the collective name is -Moa(s), an extinction of-

(and Corbyn only answered on correctly)


Me for Prime Minister!

Would it be better to do an 'Augean Stables' job and replace the whole lot with honest people (like thee and me)? Unfortunately, there is a tight Brexit timetable, so that is out of the question. Perhaps at the next election the press might ensure that candidates' 'hidden' records are at the disposal of the electorate. It would help.
