I think John McDonnell deserves a lot of credit for apologising for his controversial comments regarding sympathy for IRA terrorists and assassinating Margaret Thatcher.
The tone of his voice suggested that he is full of remorse and regret in a deep sense, leading me to believe that his apology is fully genuine.

Corbyn wins over labour members with speech.
No grand entrance, with funky music either!
Just hearing that SSI UK, have gone into liquidation.
If the Government don't step in and do something, then in my eyes - they're an absolute disgrace.
Whatever EU rules are in place, I am sure they could circumvent them, in order to save even a portion of the 1700 jobs - if they really wanted to.
They bailed out National Express on the ECML and did the same with the banks.
It is the least they can do, to keep steelmaking on Teesside.
In my opinion, it makes Gideon look an even bigger t!t than he already is, going to China and encouraging the very same steel industry that is flooding the market, to bid for UK contracts - when UK steel, is coming to a juddering halt.
One of the reasons UK steel is floundering? The Chinese steel industry...
The last government did nowt. Lets hope this one does a little bit more.

I am not keen on having something forced on me.
The more the government pushes this means the more I dont want it as it seems like the Tories are pushing there own agenda forward without a care in the world

(05 Nov 2015, 6:12 pm)Michael Paul Watson needs to go away, his more corrupt than Sepp Blatter.... no doubt his wage won't be cut along with rest of the top councilors!Paul is passionate about Sunderland, and a great representative, but he's not a leader in my opinion.
