There's clips doing the rounds of him shaking Corbyn's hand, before flipping the V's at those standing in the corner.

As my former MP, that's a shame...

Jeremy Corbyn has lost a vote of no-confidence with 172 votes for him to step down as leader and 40 votes for him to remain. Add this to the goodness-knows-how-many MPs who have resigned from the Shadow Cabinet and other positions. I'm pleased I'm not him.

It has no standing in the party rules. Jeremy was democratically elected by the membership of the party, and MPs are more than aware that they could trigger a leadership election with 20% of the PLP nominating a candidate. However, they also know that a challenger is unlikely to be successful standing against Jeremy Corbyn, which is why they're trying to bully him out instead.

Amid all of the media focused Westminster-centric fall-out, a local perspective on the decision to leave the EU.

The candidates for Tory leadership are:
Theresa May MP
Stephen Crabb MP
Michael Gove MP
Andrea Leadson MP
Dr Liam Fox MP

Not one to normally get involved in rumour and conspiracy, I wasn't going to share this.
However, after watching a Denis Skinner video earlier, in which he commented on the links between Chilcott and the ousting of Corbyn...

I suspect if anyone decides to challenge Jeremy, the position he is in, with the grassroots support he has, he will manage to win any challenge to his position.

Of course he will. If they get him to quit then they don't face the real prospect of standing a candidate to lose.
I'm sick of people comparing it to the 80s, and accusing it of being another militant tendency. It's not at all. It's simply a candidate commanding support from people, because he is standing on an anti austerity platform. The establishment are terrified of that, because it'll be proven that austerity is a political ideology!
Oh and Tony is bricking it.

He's already been a Tory and it's unlikely they'll have him back after a rather boisterous stint of a rival party echoing some of their core values thus potentially splitting the Conservative vote.
Today, he said he'd be keeping a close eye on negotiations to leave the EU (if it ever happens). After last week's display in the European Parliament, I think it's extremely unlikely that he'd be invited to participate in any negotiation team.
I'd even say it's more likely for you to be asked before Farage. You should lay down some odds on yourself.

Results of the first of many (probably) Tory leadership votes:
Theresa May - 165 votes
Andrea Leadsom - 66 votes
Michael Gove - 48 votes
Stephen Crabb - 34 votes
Liam Fox - 16 votes
Coming in last place means that Fox's leadership campaign is over.

Theresa May v Andrea Leadsom to be next prime minister

Not sure i want Theresa May to... she was a remain campaigner, personally, i think it should be someone from the leave campaign to be prime minister so they can get the ball rolling etc.

After Thatcher-ism and everything else since, will May-hem be the term that sums up the period of politics we are about to enter?
Her cabinet will be made up of the following:
Leavers
Boris Johnson - Foreign Secretary
David Davis - Brexit Secretary
Liam Fox - International Trade Secretary
Remainers
Philip Hammond - Chancellor
Amber Rudd - Home secretary
Michael Fallon - Defence Secretary
It will be interesting to see how the lawsuit with Davis VS Home Office is going to.pan out now!
