”Or perhaps mention of the left makes you rather uncomfortable...?”

Not uncomfortable at all Steve - I’m the guy who has repeatedly appealed here for all elements of the LP, no matter whether Left, Right, or Centre, to stop fighting each other, get together and co-operate, compromise where necessary, and work to serve the people who need a Labour government the most.

I’m currently enjoying a relaxed RLB making mince-meat of that cockwomble, Bim Afolami, on Politics Live.
