Nicola Sturgeon to resign as Scotland First Minister.

Very interesting Newsagents podcast interview with Diane Abbott yesterday, well worth a listen.

She probably knows Corbyn better than almost anyone so what she says about his views on Brexit rather confirms most peoples suspicions.

Not listened to it (yet). Corbyn was on the Newsagents podcast on 3 February. Interesting discussion where he repeated that he is and was an EU sceptic. But he did follow the party line pre referendum, even if not enthusiastically. He also did over 100 trade union meetings on Brexit that got no news coverage where he continued that scepticism but asked for a Remain vote - according to my mate who was a Unite rep on one of the NEC sub committees (and Chair of Sheffield Trades Council).

He (may mate, Martin Mayer) was expelled last month for sharing a speaker platform 4/5 years ago with one of the Labour organisations that was subsequently proscribed. Retrospective thought crime!

This is one, of many, problems I have with Corbyn as leader of the Labour Party.

Most knew that he was, at least, eurosceptic and probably full on anti-EU and if he was as honest and decent as you say then he should never have led what is a massively pro-EU party. Membership of the EU is hardly a minor issue and surely the leader must be fully behind major party policy.

Once the party and it's membership backed remain he should have resigned the leadership. As a supposed man of principle I'm surprised he didn't. Or perhaps he isn't as principled as you think and he abandoned them to keep the trappings of high office.

She knows stuff no one would want to know or even imagine about him.
