Knows she'll get thrashed. Maybe I'll ask Anthony Joshua to give up his Heavyweight title belt so I can win a match against him too.
Owen Smith looks more likely now, maybe even Clive Lewis.
I've had money on Clive Lewis for months, he's more charismatic than Corbyn and would get the support form the Momentum left. He is ruthless with no principles, it's all just an act.
Is he the ex-BBCer who claimed racism against him? TBH, I'm going snowblind with the blizzard of contenders.
Speaking of Israel-Gate - Israel’s former foreign minister has joined in the criticism of Corbyn over his choice of words at the launch of Labour’s antisemitism report earlier today.
That could work. But I think we should have the dragon too.
How about the red crosses of St Andrew and St George on a white background but top left quadrant all white with the Welsh dragon in red centred in that quadrant?
I think we're going to need a national phone in to pick this. There are some good contenders appearing.
After being ripped to shreds by the First Minister, Kezia had a good go at Ruth, who was subdued throughout the whole session. I almost felt sorry for Ruth. Almost.
There's no doubt Brexit has hugely damaged Davidson and the Conservative cause in Scotland generally, even though some other people voted Leave. It is her colleagues in London that are doing the separation. It's the inverse of the SNP paradox (why are you so keen on the EU if you want to get out of the UK?). In the case of the Tories: why are you so keen on the British Union if you want to destroy the European one?
I feel a bit sorry for her. She seems a very able politician, and if Remain had won she was surely well placed to take many paths which might prove advantageous. As it is with Remain losing, the work she's done may be seriously undercut.

I cannot understand the Labour leadership betting- why is McDonnell out to 14's? Emily Thornberry was 6-1 yesterday but she has moved out a wee tad today- to 360-1 no less. That still looks short to me.
My man Clive Lewis is also on 14's and represents the other left contender.
Clearly, the Labour party are completely clueless about the next step....both left and right.
The market is a portmanteau of at least 3 scenarios:
1) A direct challenge to Corbyn 2) A Corbyn resignation and a "normal" election 3) Corbyn's successor in a "Labour" Party reduced to 40 MPs as the rest break away
Indeed. Nicely unpacked. It's a fool's market because too many balls are in the air at once.
They're the best markets! I've got 50+ on Smith, 65+ on Nandy and 55+ on McDonnell in the last few days as people have erroneously discounted one or more of the above scenarios.
Great odds. The Smith bet is especially good. Well done.
I've laid Benn at 10, Chuka at 20, etc. Kinda the reverse! Pick off the one who is to short...
BUNKER READ THIS: Do a deal with Lewis and let Corbyn go.
Israel-gate means Corbyn is eventually done for anyway – the Israeli Labor party comment makes it more likely that the UK party could suspend him.
Corbyn controls the NEC.
Nothing else really matters in terms of external factors. The only hope Labour have for continued existence is that Corbyn himself decides. No-one will decide for him.
The problem with doing polling in Scotland is how much people lie/misremember. From the Daily Mail Survation poll Q4. In the Scottish Parliament Election of 2016, 56% of people voted, while 44% of people did not vote. Thinking back to the Holyrood Election in May 2016, can you remember whether or not you voted in that specific election?
I thought Angela Eagle was nailed on as challenger to Corbyn but apparently that isn't the case now.
As some of us have been explaining for days, Jezza holds all the aces. He has the Unions, he has the membership and his name will go on the ballot because he's party leader.
Until Jezza himself decides he's had enough he's going nowhere. All the PLP have done (and particularly those shadow cabinet members who resigned on Sunday and Monday) is make utter fools of themselves and ensured we don't have an Opposition at this critical time.

Clive Lewis has charisma in spades, and just looks like he could be a winner, especially with a back story fighting in Afghanistan. If the next leader is a lefty, as is likely judging by the membership, at least let it be one who looks like he could win.
I think Lewis from the Left is a good candidate and I have no idea why the bunker hasn't struck a deal with the PLP by now whereby they would guarantee him enough nominations if Corbyn stood down.
That, to me, is the best compromise to break the deadlock.
That could work. But I think we should have the dragon too.
I guess that would emphasise the link between Game of Thrones and UK politics.
Chaos isn't a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some are given a chance to climb, but they refuse. They cling to the realm or the gods or love. Illusions. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is.
Speaking of Israel-Gate - Israel’s former foreign minister has joined in the criticism of Corbyn over his choice of words at the launch of Labour’s antisemitism report earlier today.
You have to picture that in a backroom at Labour HQ, Seamas was saying "we need to get this report out there, even though its a whitewash, its best to bury it. With all the news at the moment we can dump it off and no-one will even notice its come out. What could possibly go wrong..."

But how does his cause benefit from this mess? Is there no one acceptable to Corbynistas who could get the required nominations to stand as leader? That must be preferable to this madhouse.

Somehow I doubt we can chalk this one up as a gaffe. He must have known how incendiary that comparison would be.
Pleased to see my excellent MP Nus Ghani (a Leaver, since you ask) is backing Theresa May.
Southern mafia
Not entirely. Maria Caulfield, next door in Lewes (the nemesis of Norman Baker), is a very strong Leaver, but is backing Stephen Crabb. As I've said many times, this Leave/Remain dividing line will dissolve quite quickly, now the decision has been made.
Incidentally, and for accuracy, Gove attended a private school (Robert Gordon's College) as a scholarship boy. The other candidates were state educated.

Yes, I think we're looking at a pretty united party once this all shakes out. Especially now that the stop Boris campaign has succeeded.

true, he was state educated up until then, he has a good backstory though which he'll need given his likeability factor with certain sections of the populus.

Imagine being so shit at politics you can't even lose.
Mrs JackW has "advised" me that the full force of the Jacobite hordes should be unleashed in the cause of May.
I am assured that this historic endorsement has nothing whatsoever, in any way, shape or form at all so help my bank balance, to do with the Home Secretary's affinity to nifty footwear and plenty of it.
More that Mrs JackW is firmly of the belief that the Supreme Female Triumvirate of HM Queen, Prime Minister May and The Great She Shoe-Woman must prevail to ensure that the weak and puny male of the species knows its place ....

What a crock of shit. People are really losing their heads over this.
The least surprising response of the day.
Some MP no-one's heard of is accused by someone else of being in league with those against Corbyn. The whole world seems to be against Corbyn at the moment, so she's hardly being singled out.
She squeaks "But I'm Jewish!" [did anyone know or care?] and because Corbyn didn't "intervene" in some ruck going on in the audience, he's now AntiSemite-in-Chief.

Lol
Were they lying ? Or, was the sample complete rubbish ? The problem with pollsters is that 25% or so people can be got hold of. They are alos the ones who do not, by and large, vote. It was to the SNP's credit that in September 2014 , they were able to get many of them out to vote.
Mark Carney’s warning that Britain faces a recession if it leaves the EU is “nonsense” and a “totally unjustifiable” intervention, a Government minister has said.

Spot on
Last month, Labour become the largest party in the local elections. This was an improvement on 2012 ~(EICIPM's high point)
The Corbyn is voter repellent just doesn't stand up to scrutiny compared to Brown/EICIPM at least.

Because only Jeremy can win. I saw one of the ex-whips who resigned being interviewed by BBC News24. I had not realised that they also have not thought what they would should Jeremy not resign. He kept on saying Jeremy should call the Leadership election. Why should he ?
If they did not have the guts to break away [ as a final possibility ], they should not have started this rebellion.
I do prefer a doctor who can make a correct decision. However, getting it wrong is no problem so long as you tell the patient asap, and preferably before they die.

All in all, I think things have gone as well as could be expected today.
The most credible Tory leadership candidate has said no emergency budget, no snap election, no immediate Article 50, no commitment to achieve surplus this term.
Carney has shown the BoE's storyboard for the next few months.
All relatively soothing and grown up. Coupled with most US banks passing the Fed's stress test yesterday, we're likely to end the jittery first week in reasonable shape.
This is not the time for anything to kick off in the South China Sea *crosses fingers*.

Hi Brookie, Don't recall that - age thing - but as one honourable Bogtrotter to another, I shall cough up at once (though it does mean a few hours on the High Street tomorrow flogging the Big Issue to recoup the loss).
"Even those of us who write about how ruthless the Tory party is are standing, staring, open-mouthed at what has just happened. At 9am this morning, Boris Johnson was pretty sure that he was going to become Prime Minister, or at least make the final two in the leadership contest and be in with a 50-50 chance. Then, at 9.02am an email landed that signalled he was done for, ruined. Johnson and his team had no warning – no call, no text – from Michael Gove that he was about to declare Boris unfit to be Prime Minister and run himself. The explosive email went to reporters direct. Inside Team Boris there was astonishment, although some had suspected something was wrong earlier in the week."

I think he was talking about the predictions of experts, and he was right. The principle that experts are clever men who know all there is to be knowed, is always and everywhere trumped and overridden by the principle that predictions are hard to make, especially about the future. On this site for instance there are at least half a dozen serious experts on political betting: where are their private jets?
Contrariwise, if you really think financial expertise does entail predictive ability, why not mortgage your house and put the proceeds in an absolute return fund run by an expert? Then, whatever happens, soon you'll be too rich to worry about anything.
Am pretty sure there won't be a leadership election. MPs will sit it out for as long as possible, and if Corbyn really won't quit, they'll break away. What's the point of a 3 month election followed by Corbyn winning and the party splitting, may as well do it now.

So that's taxes up, more cuts, less business investment, reduced demand. Just as predicted. But Chancellor Gove or Leadsom has promised that we will have one of this. In fact, taxes will go down and spending will go up - including £350 million a week more for the NHS.
