Now that the poll for leadership of the Labour party has closed, I hope we see fewer stories about it in the media, I have long since ceased to care!

Intelligent people didn't care in the first place! Labour is finished for a long time in the UK.

Shame, they did have some good ideas...
I think...
Can't bring any to mind just now...

I watched the same coverage, and listened to the same speech. Opposite reaction, enough said.

Try and find the policy content online, and study it for yourselves before making up your minds.

Now I give up even more!

I've just watched the BBC news covering the election of Jeremy Corbyn as the new Labour Leader, and his acceptance speech.

Total and utter bollox!!!

The man looked like some homeless tramp they had dragged in off the street. He could even be bothered to put on a tie, or shave properly. And the blue unbuttoned shirt was a dead give away to a old fashioned Labour trade union attitude. If he thinks he will be having beer and sandwiches at No.10 with Cameron he had better think again.

If Harriet Harman had been willing to stand, she would have walked it, and she would also have had a 50/50 chance of getting in at 2020. But age was against her. As it is we have a lack lustre leader of a lack lustre party, who will be in the wilderness for a long time. I have posted elsewhere that over the last 80myears or so this country prefers a Tory government. They will continue to do so. The Labour party have gone back to old fashioned 80's, they are finished.

I must say though Chris, he's the only labour politician that I've found "interesting" to listen too in ages....interesting times a'coming.

Great speech. I like the way he seems so approachable and not like all those tory establishment knobs. Definitely a man of the people.

He is there because the labour party choose their leader democratically. He is the leader the people want. I suspect he will have a broader general appeal than the mainstream media realises.

Thank goodness. Somebody who isn't taken in by the Tories' (and the Tory press's) airbrushing of history.

Got a 'strongly agree' from me.

I heard the Tories are freaking out and calling him a threat to national security.

Why not? They can't call him a threat to their bank accounts and get sympathy.

Yes, Defence Secretary Michael Fallon was on the BBC within an hour with "Labour are now a serious risk to our nation’s security, our economy’s security and your family’s security.", and it was being repeated all day yesterday.

That's an old Tory trick of getting your retaliation in first - I was on the receiving end of that personally at the hands of Eric Pickles, 25 years ago. Fortunately, this time they seemed to peak too soon - that particular comment has been buried and forgotten under the avalanche of much more grown-up discussion. But the next three months are going to be very, very nasty.

How delightfully Fascist of the Conservatives to call a democratically elected leader of the opposition party 'a threat to national security'. You sure you guys are still a democracy?

I'm not sure we ever were.

Last I heard, we were still on the same planet as Europe - though one does wonder sometimes what proportion of the population remembers that.

Well they seem to have some issues with a rail tunnel, like they want to wall it off again.

What makes you stay in Europe are a number of international treaties that the UK signed and is therefor bound to. They could of course withdraw from the treaties, but there are high political and economic costs associated with that.

Sadly i think you're right, though it shouldn't be. If a 66 year old who looks 86 can be elected, then the 65 year old who looks 50 should be equally if not more electable.

Interesting days ahead

But half of the total posts went to women, including shadow defence, education, business and health.

That sounds fair.
