I wonder what goes on in the background sometimes, Steve. I agree with your points and, as a fellow member, cannot help but be disappointed with the performance of late. I think Corbyn is well intentioned but, given the hostility of the press and some of the PLP, he is on a hiding to nothing! Maybe the intention was to get a new broom to sweep the Tory sleepers out of the party and then, when his leadership had become untenable, replace him with someone who would be both popular and able to return the party to their roots? I think you mentioned Keir Starmer recently and while I previously knew little about him he does look a fair bet.

As to fatally split panties, the less said the better.

:D tG

PS - Talking of fair bets, what are odds of this thread staying clear of right wing sneerers, Farage apologists and socialists in inverted commas... ;-)
