"I (and if I read him rightly Steve) think Corbyn did not want to call the confidence vote at this time, because he then has the difficult problem of what he does next. I have heard some comments saying that just because Labour does not get a general election this time, it does not mean they won't on another occasion, so they will stick with the 'try for a general election' strategy. I think that would play very badly with party memebers."

I agree, in fact I don't believe JC actually wants a GE at all - who, in their right mind, would want to take on the absolute crock of shite we've been dropped in by Idiot Boy Camoron, Farage, Bozo, Gove, May, and their terminally fractured Tory Party?

Those cocks made their bed, let the buggers lie in it. With any luck, they'll bugger it up so Royally, they'll render themselves unelectable for generations - they're well on the way to it already.
