LFF seems so paralysed with shock that it has not said anything about the actual result as of Saturday 8pm. Still trying to find a positive spin from your standpoint, my dears?

Thanks for pointing out the change Matty. When it comes to blogs its perfectly fine for people to put forward opinions which people will disagree with. But when a staff writer drafts a very misleading headline for clickbait you have to worry about the ethics and quality standards of the site.

Rubbish Islamists were spreading their poison in mosques and prisons in the UK and elsewhere long before 9/11 and Iraq. Blair took them on and well done to him. Saddam should have been finished off 1991.

Yes, you’re right. Didn’t this site use to have the strapline “Evidence-based policy”?

It is the policy that matters.

Given that it is I will vote for Corbyn becuase at least he has articulated his beliefs in a clear understandable way and not resorted to the deeply dpressing soundbites of the other candidates . I think Yvette would prove the strongest leader out of the candidates but how the Labour Party would counter the abuse she would get in a campaign for being Mrs Ed Balls ( as wrong as that is ) needs thinking about after our feeble 2015 campaign . I just hope we dont end up following thenonsense peddled by the neo blairiites about some centre ground that sits just to the left of a very right wing Tory governemnt and develop a clear effective opposition that builds public trust for a clear labour alternative that has a good fair society at its core

They’ve still gone with the sub heading of “Labour researchers rubbish YouGov claim that Jeremy Corbyn is set to win the leadership contest”, which is completely false and a misleading statement
