    [Politics] Next leader of the Labour party

    Yep, I'm sure a barrister, a QC, who has been in court many, many times, presenting cases to a jury, has to work on his presentation skills.

    Apart from the Blair inaccuracy, he was not unpleasant to those who worked for him.

    Strange analogy. A politician in the 70s knew a football discussion forum on the internet would occur in 40 years time? You’re saying he was clairvoyant?

    [Politics] Next leader of the Labour party

    I think you've got Tony Benn's character spot on. That's how I viewed him too. Oh, look. I've renounced my title. Oh, look. I've renounced my double barrelled name. Oh, look. I'm not Anthony, I'm Tony.

    [Politics] Next leader of the Labour party

    He isn't even a bit posh. His Dad was a toolmaker, his mother a nurse, and he went to a state Grammar school. What he has done is made the best of a brilliant mind, by working his way up through the law, became a QC, and then head of the CPS. His knighthood was nothing to do with cronyism but...

    That's a relief.

    [Politics] Next leader of the Labour party

    Instead of debating the professor's points, as Gwylan did, you decided to debate my posts instead. Deflections.

    Where did I imply shady dealing? Maybe that's how you judged my post?

    [Politics] Next leader of the Labour party

    I gave you the link to the professor at Bangor university. He was talking about it.

    [Politics] Next leader of the Labour party

    My original post said 'there is talk of' At no point did I say it was going to happen definitely. Talk of - eg rumour. An opinion, if you like. Time will tell if it is true or not. As Gwylan has pointed out, there is nothing in our constitution which would rule it out. I posted it twice to...

    [Politics] Next leader of the Labour party

    You're still waiting? I went out grocery shopping after my husband finished work, and went to bed when I got in because I was in pain. You're not my boss nor a headmaster. I said there was talk of boundary changes and fixed term, and here is the article talking about it, that I read...

    The Tories are going to move the boundaries so they get more votes. There is also talk of extending the fixed term government from 5 to 10 years.

    [Politics] Next leader of the Labour party

    I put Cumming and Milne in the same bracket of influence on either side of the house. They both have Russian connections and both have undue influence on their respective parties.

    [Politics] Next leader of the Labour party

    This is a problem in the Labour party. Seamus Milne - Dominic Cummings - both unelected but have too much say. 1207602121849344002

    I'm not sure he would do it. I've just been listening to him on Radio Sussex in the car. He really does come across well.

    Does he? You've read it on Nsc so therefore you have to repeat it. It's a wonder you didn't hear it in the Bovril queue. Care to back it up with any facts apart from I read it somewhere?
