News At Ten there giving McTeirnan carte blanche to attack Corbyn over comments about Iraq from May 2014 that have been unearthed...

The backlash from rUK members of the Labour Party has been amusing, they're confused as to who he is... And then reacting with horror and understanding when informed he's partly responsible for the state Labour are in in Scotland.

Part of me now wants Corbyn to lose so i can see what happens to the Labour party afterwards

If its as if they are in a parralel universe and cant see it

Paul Sinclair was just as bad as McTernan on Scotland 2015 where they totally ignored the Labour purge and instead focused on Kezia's speech today where she let us know she didnt learn her politics from books ....

Not just her politics... Her "socialism" *shudder*.

You have to admire her neck

See, the scary thing is... I don't believe she's trying to be misleading, I genuinely think she believes it. She's a socialist who made one change to Scottish Labours shadow cabinet, which was to remove the only progressive from said cabinet.

*slow clap*

I think it'll be far more dramatic if Corbyn wins. If he loses, they just continue on the slippery slope they are on, possibly at a faster face as many in party now see them for what they are. If Corbyn wins however, the party is going to implode. That man has little or no chance of getting anywhere near power - the party will find a way to replace him, the party will split, or the secret services will have him drive off a cliff if he looks like he might get close to Downing street.

It's actually quite refreshing watching someone other than the SNP show Labour and UK politics up for what it has become.

Aye the vilification of the SNP in the MSM has noticeably decreased since Jezza came on the scene...

I see Murdoch has said praised Corbyn's authenticity (and it might just suit him if a Corbyn win derails Labour).

It will be interesting to see the reaction - when the Sun 'supported' the SNP, Labour sympathisers blamed the SNP. Will they 'blame' Corbyn?

However, a Socialist in charge of the Labour Party in opposition and fighting a General Election will have the full brunt of capital against him which can do no harm in the aim of class consciousness.

Can you elaborate on what this aim is, and what we're supposed to do about it?

I saw that Corbyn's getting blamed for sitting next to someone who said that every British solider's death was a victory.

Meantime the guys that sent those soldiers out to their deaths, by manipulating/falsifying evidence of WMD and voting for the war are somehow seen as mainstream, normal, respectable, fundamentally decent people.

Crazy...

Louise Mensch being a feckwit again, has anyone seen her and Nick Robinson in the same room together?

Former Tory MP claims searches paint damning picture of Labour leadership candidate’s supporters – but they turn out to be from her own search history

She's a halfwit.

"Mensch has been ridiculed for combining a tenaciously philosemitic defence of "the Jewish people" with an ignorance of Jewish history. Mensch once tweeted that the term Zionist was merely an antisemitic code word for Jew; when asked by another user whether she would consider Theodor Herzl—one of the founding fathers of Zionism who has been dead for more than a century—antisemitic if he were to use the term, she replied in the affirmative"

Folk like her don't get embarrassed.

Agreed - she's one of these people who's realised that if you say something confidently, in a posh, plummy tone of voice, there's every chance you'll be believed by people who speak in a more ordinary way. This obviously doesn't work so well on Twitter, where people are much less likely to be subconsciously deferential to her 'status' .

He does look a wee bit like Dr David Kelly.....but with Labour no where near power I woudn't think that he would come to a similar fate...surely?
