Laughable. Leadsom has literally had to quit because people in the party have been abusing her! And IDS talking about "black ops" campaigns against her!

Corbyn is loved by Labour Party members and has no chance of winning an election.
There is little joy in having a happy membership in a party who are in opposition.

I may not disagree with the idea that she isn't up to the job of being PM. But to suggest the Tories have been grown up about the campaign is ridiculous.

I think Leadsom herself has acted sensibly, and she has put party before personal. But the party was ready to tear itself apart if she hadn't done the decent thing.

And I think I'll use whatever exclamation marks I like.

I'm loving the irony of Freemans words being cheekily tweaked in order to change the context/inference...bearing in mind why he was making the comments

Well I think Simon's head is large; always involved in espionage. (Name that tune)

Hrolf The Ganger is, of course, spot on. This has been a far more grown up process than Labour's. There haven't been months and months of multi-candidate debates that tear a party apart. Within a week we had two candidates, when it became clear to Leadsom herself that she wasn't up to the job over the weekend she decided to quit the race.

To me, Leadsom has shown the kind of principles that Corbyn should show now, or actually should have shown a year ago. Labour are a complete joke, and now they're calling for a snap election! Have they completely lost their mind, it's like turkeys voting for Christmas, they'll be annihilated. Madness.

The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.
