I see the 'head in the sand' approach for the Corbynites continues then.

First post Brexit Govt will be a poison chalice. Best left to Boris.

Wrong attitude that. Taking over in a crisis should be a challenge accepted with relish by any opposition leader worth his salt, if potential PM's shy away from it that tells me they're the wrong man regardless of whether there's a crisis or not.

Look at it this way, if Boris does well with this chalice, then he's a shoe-in for the next election or two after that.

Yes I agree with the above. Just to clarify when I said stick Corbyn on the Tory front bench, that was exclusively just for Brexit.

Yes I read it the way you intended.

Its amazing that we can both have our heads in the sand and be diligently rooting out heresy.

It’s astonishing that more people don’t care about this sort of thing.

I love an optimist,but with the constitutional crisis that the Tories have manufactured the UK could very well become ungovernable post Brexit.That's just my opinion I'm sure Corbyn would relish the opportunity,he's a politician,and ALL of them are looking for power in one form or another.

Blair the warmonger on the Marr show before: "the LP needs to be won away from the dangers of the left".

A man up to his neck in blood from wars that killed over a million people.

FFS, when are the BBC going to ask this genocidal maniac some searching questions about his REAL extremism and then compare it to the "extremism" of wanting no nuclear weapons and no hunger and social equality?

A cess pit of a system we have to put with when utter scum like Blair is feted and men and women looking to undo his mess are demonised.

Anti Semitism though...

It's not so much "not caring"; Brexit so dominates politics that other issues, urgent though they are, simply take a back seat.

There's equally pressing crises in the police service, prisons, education, social care, universal credit and other fields. All left to one side because of the self-inflicted wound that is Brexit.

fixed (or broken, depending on your perspective).
