Owen Smith

[Mrs Steve R]

Labour are screwed with Corbyn there, and slightly less screwed with Smith there. They seem to reverting to the protest / placard waving party. Very popular with socialists everywhere - the problem being is that the UK has a constituency based model - so there are about 75 or key marginals Labour have to win - that will never happen. In fact seeing as all of Scotland is just about SNP - Labour would have to win the key marginals plus 50 more seats to compensate for the ones they've lost in Scotland - No chance.

I'm not a fan of Corbyn, I don't trust him.

Turkey has surrounded an American airforce base with 7,000 heavily armed police (they don't trust their military) and are effectively holding America to ransom, as they were silly enough to leave 20 nuclear weapons at the base, just in case they wanted to make a loud bang somewhere, and you're preoccupied by books..... https://twitter.com/telesurenglish/s...60091347841024

Fair enough if you don't want to talk about it now but it will come up again, you do remind me of someone when you change the subject like that
