Indeed I will. A Labour politician who's not bothered about the EU. Now all he has to do is stop ex-pats who have squandered their fortune on booze in the sunshine from returning to Britain when their older and poncing off the state and NHS. Hell I might even start to vote for Labour again.:winking:

Dian Abbott as the house keeper ?

Surely a good thing for everyone of every political persuasion? For the first time for a very long time there is a clear dividing line between the two main parties in British Politics.

I'm really pleased that the leadership battle is over and that a clear winner in Corbyn has emerged. It's good for the Labour Party after a longish period where they had a major identity crisis between what their roots said they should be and what they have evolved into over the last 20 years. I will watch with interest to see if they now can become an exciting main opposition party. For that to happen all the existing MPs will have to get behind Corbyn. Will they? only time will tell. Can they win a general election? again, only time will tell. When this leadership race started I thought Corbyn would only be there to make up the numbers, I couldn't have been more wrong, so as for elections, I just don't have a clue.

As have the poor Syrians. Our pot is limited. Without all party support for military action, we'll only fix the symptom - not the disease... and aid cash will run out!

Actually,JC has been ambivalent about the EU at best.Athought it's fair to say he's not as pro-EU as the other leadership candidates (or most of the PLP).

(As for your other comments,I'm sure you be pleased to learn that I intend to retire in Spain or France.The health service is better in both countries than in the UK.Not to mention all that sunshine you talk about!Pip,pip)!
