A reflection on the Corbyn/Glastonbury event and the Corbyn phenomenon, for want of a better word, in general. There's nothing new about Jeremy: he's been saying the same thing for 35 years. It's not a personality cult. He was an unassuming Left backbench candidate in a leadership election...

This may be true. But it won't be Momentum doing that: Momentum is a separate organisation, although there are currently moves to make Labour membership compulsory. It will be Corbyn's inner circle within the Labour Party. Some of them are quite aloof! There is a ludicrous amount of tribalism...

Narrow majority for left of centre, here as nationally.

37% for the Tories, a majority left of centre. First past the post - keeping Tories in power since 1802.

37% on here for the Tories. Par vote for them. Similar to what they would get nationally I'd say (though it may be a bit more since UKIP is over) and under our ludicrous electoral system enough for a majority again. If Labour, Lib Dems and Greens had any sense they'd select the candidate with...

The problem is that there is one party of the Right (forget about UKIP, they're done) and a variety from the centre Left in a first past the post electoral system. We're the only country in Europe where a governing party can get a majority with less than 40% of the popular vote, and it's very...

If the Tories are not to win again with the vote of 24% of the eligible population - this is what we need to do #progressivealliance https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/apr/19/greens-urge-labour-and-lib-dems-to-form-electoral-pact-to-defeat-tories

Go away, Theresa May Kick her out now, Theresa May How she got there I don't know How she got there I don't care All I say is Tories go away Jeremy, Jeremy We're the famous Brighton & Hove Albion and we're voting Jeremy* *(some of us) :)
