Chuka took a break from making tough on immigrants speeches to make some conciliatory noises earlier, but he definitely has a touch of the Rees-Mogg about him. I'd love to hear what McDonnell is saying behind closed doors about the no-compromise crew's offer of selecting their shadow cabinet.
That Liz Carr speech at the conference about the real effects of austerity on the disabled is telling it like it is.http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/actress-liz-carr-stuns-audience-8911590

Andy Burnham is beside her in the photo. I like him. I like the way that throughout the Corbyn era, he has knuckled down and got on with working for Corbyn, whether he entirely agrees with him or not, pausing only occasionally to make quite polite appeals for other people to do the same.

Can you stop using my name please, I find you creepy enough already.
Had hoped we'd seen the last of Eagle after that manipulative shite she pulled earlier this year. Had hoped people would have wised up to her after that. Obviously some people didn't.
