Yeah, that Survation poll of 1000 people is interesting. Tories on 40% and Labour on 36% in London tells you all you need to know.

Can you imagine the vitriol and blatant sexism this group of women would receive if they tried to get elected in our country? Media would have a field day.

I don't know; every single party of any substance in the UK, apart from Labour, have or have had women leaders.

...it was tongue in cheek. The reality is, he shouldn’t have been there in the first place, it’s symptomatic of how Momentum Labour is being run.

I fear that we are in big, big trouble

It's the sort of thing that makes me think their incessant moral high horsing over Anti Semitism might just be an act.
