Corbyn talks of party unity but has been deliberately ambiguous regarding de-selections. The best way to bring the right of his own party would be to promise that no-one is de-selected before the next election but then I think we all know that he wants that because it would fill the PLP with...

In fairness, the Mike Ashley and zero-hour contracts comments are spot on but the rest so far.... Slags off Philip Green but fail to mention that Labour gave him a knighthood, claim that the disability u-turn was a Labour victory when it was a Tory backbench revolt that saw that one off, claims...

Please let this be true. 781126058741563392 *not a cult*

Aye, there's the rub. Offence can only be taken, never given but I do think it's pretty certain the intention was to shock. That's not to say that I think it should be banned, I'm with Stephen Fry on the whole issue of being offended.

Bloke allegedly bringing Labour Party Conference into disrepute downplays links to Conference shocker! It's how everyone else sees it because that is how it really is. It's part of the Labour Fringe none of which is officially endorsed by the Party but is part of the conference, is crass, is...

Oh come on, that's being disingenuous at best. Even the Guardian, hardly a bastion of jingoism reports it as... "What better way to mark the year the Labour party surged behind its leader/imploded than with a bit of memorabilia? There is a custom at party conference to sell a load of tat with...

Did anyone else watch the car crash interview on Newsnight last night when Shami Chakrabarti was questioned about her 'independent' review and the timing of her peerage? When asked which Jewish organisations had backed her report, she couldn't name one and eventually mumbled that it had been...

Apparently, Seumas Milne changed part of Clive Lewis' speech on Trident the wording of which had previously been agreed with Corbyn and Milne only let Lewis know minutes before. Lewis is said to have punched a wall in anger afterwards. Strange indeed as Lewis has been one of Corbyn's most loyal...

That's because he's in a constituency that's been Labour held since 1937 with a changing demographic that has cemented it as a rock-solid safe seat. Admittedly, Corbyn's radical politics does also add value given the kind of people that live in his part of London but if you stuck a red rosette...

Angela Rayner's star is definitely in the ascendancy and she seems to hit the right note with a lot of people. Jess Phillips would make a good deputy. I like her a lot, she's gobby, opinionated but speaks from the heart, she has appeal outside her party and she's fearless. She has the makings of...

I'm not a gambling man but if I were I'd put money on Corbyn being the leader in 2020 and the next Labour leader after him being a woman, not sure who but there are plenty of excellent candidates. I think there will be enormous pressure from all sides of the party to make this happen.

I'm honestly not trying to snipe here but does the vast sums of money that Corbyn is talking about not worry you? He's talked about borrowing £500 billion to invest in various projects. That's going to add between 30% and 40% to our national debt.

We aren't. We're more liberal and more tolerant now than we have ever been.

Not a party political point but why does the Labour leader's speech always come early on in the conference? Isn't it better to have it at the end as the big finale?
