Was prepared to cancel my membership this morning, but if Clive Lewis is indeed mounting a challenge I might hang around for a bit.

Is he though? I'd expect him to be back in Labour's Shadow cabinet within 6 months but surely JC is unassailable at the moment?

Paul Waugh claimed earlier Lewis and supporters were discreetly calling other MPs late into last night.

I like straight talking but he might want to work on his soundbites a tad. :smile:

Because Corbyn was and has always been anti european and wanted out of europe all along but was too gutless to say it out loud.

May was and has always been pro european and wanted to stay in europe all along but was too gutless to say it out loud.

And yet both ended up as 'leaders' of their respective parties. Maybe gutless is a quality that works these days?

Ridiculous comment. May was a staunch Remain campaigner throughout the Brexit debate and was a big enough person to respect the vote and has set her course to be guided by the vote result.
corbyn on the other hand was barely on the campaign trail throughout and was "Mr Invisible" the whole time. He sat largely on the fence making neutral statements until he decided to (fairly) come out in support of Remain. Since May has been in power he has shown where his loyalties really laid all along.
if you're going to contribute to political discussion, make it somewhat factual.

Are these "alternative facts" or something?
It's well known that Cameron's staff wanted Mrs May to take a much higher public profile in the remain campaign.
It's also a matter of record that Corbyn made a series of speeches up and down the country in favour of remain.

Can you provide sources to back this up?

Can you for your "alternative facts" ?
Since it's fairly well known that I read the Guardian/Observer and watch C4 news+Newsnight most days, along with the Daily Politics when I can, I guess they'd be my sources.

I have read articles in both the Independent + Guardian which suggests that Corbyns input in favour of Remain to be wanting.
I know he was on channel 4 scoring the EU 7 out of ten.
This link may give us some insight to his actual activity.

As Shami Chakrabarti was saying on Marr yesterday, JC hasn't been given a fair shake by most of the print industry or the media in general.

Nice Googling there, but you googled your way into trouble on second link as the story backs up my argument. So I think I will take that link for myself thank you very much! 10 EU Rallies!
As for the first link, total hearsay. There is nothing in that article that provides any substantive evidence to your claim.
Like yourself, my politic experience comes from reading the BBC and various other sources (both sides of the political spectrum). At no point have I read or been led to believe that Theresa May had "always been in the Brexit camp", but I have seen numerous articles (which I am not retrieving links for) that suggest that Corbyn was not entirely behind his EU speeches. It also seems weird, does it not, that Corbyn, being the maverick that he is seems to be disciplining his MPs for voting against Brexit....Surely he would be enjoying seeing the waves?
