Alas I know some Tories, and I can say they were dismayed and embarrassed by the scaremongering reaction of the Tories today - Michael Fallon in particular, who claimed the security of "your families" has been put at risk. Poor stuff. (Though Cameron did phone with congratulations.)

I don't think I'm risking much, Ake. The Tories will have a leadership election of their own before the next election. They're unlikely to find anyone with personal qualities to match Corbyn's and will damage each other at least as much as the present spat has damaged Labour - but much nearer the election. Another point in Labour's favour: Tom Watson and Corbyn's team are already proven masters of social media (the dead-tree press now counts for nothing) - and will be out of sight on that score by the time the Tories get out of the blocks.
