Look barmpot, it's a bit like me saying "I'll go for Hull KR" before Sunday's game. As I lifelong Hull FC supporter, would you also assume I'd suddenly switched allegience?

Tell the crash team not to bother. This thread is smoked.

Looks like all of the momentum is behind Corbyn. The other candidates seem to have given up.

The worst outcome for Labour would be a narrow defeat for Corbyn. It would be open warfare up to the next election. At least if he gets the job it will prove once and for all whether the hard left is electable.

If you seriously believe that Corbyn is "hard left", then you're either away with the fairies or it shows just how far, since Blair, that Labour have moved to the right

I think it shows how far politics as a whole has moved to the right. The obsessive and messianic-like obedience to the free market, amongst other issues such as immigration and social security, is disturbing.

I'm not sure you can really say we have a 'free market', or free anything for that matter.

Well what the right like to call the free market. Which of course isn't really because it's dominated by huge companies that are only ever getting bigger and harder to control.

A market so "free" that it continually demands taxpayers to support it

Where does this "tax payers" money come from in the first place?
