Corbyn is going to have to get his skates on because nominations close a week on Monday and he’ll need 35 fellow MPs to support him just to get on the ballot.

So now who do I vote for with my £3 membership?
And I am still undecided, but would welcome a fifth name on the ballot.
(In 2005 I believe Cameron overtook Davis in the polls after his conference speech, but he had already slashed his lead after he had launched his campaign)
So give Corbyn your first preference, and Burnham your second pref.
Karl Marx?
It illustrates that they struggle when the Tories are popular and that relatively small differences can matter for their parliamentary base. FPTP is harsh to parties that are unpopular when their main rivals are popular. It's happened to the Liberals for most of their history and to the Tories in 1997-2005. It also illustrates that the trade-off for challengers in FPTP is often between broad demographic support and local fortresses, each of which can only go so far. Ukip can be considered basically a more unfortunate version of the Lib Dems with more demographic support and fewer fortresses.

Plus, I'm doing a thread on AV for the weekend!
If that was the case, I wonder if they got their money back
UKIP to march in London’s Pride parade for the first time

You can see in other parties and other countries the way in which minority political groups can organise to grow their influence over time, think of the R. Paul Presidential campaigns for example, but the Labour Left seems never to have recovered from the defeats of the 70s, 80s and 90s and is still in decline.
This new one is an up to date version.
*including UK ones
You missed the best bits:
"Miliband’s own former advisers believe, but do not know for sure, the 8ft-high stone slab that set out his election pledges has been destroyed as planned, as one of its creators, Torsten Henricson-Bell, has ordered."
"the election result meant that Miliband never had the chance to make the offer, or relocate the 8ft high “Edstone” with its carved pledges to Downing Street.
It was intended to be destroyed, but a previous attempt to break it up had to be called off when the media discovered the location of in a south London warehouse.
Another plan for the stone to be broken up like the Berlin Wall, with the pieces sold for charity, was also rejected."
I guess my idea for a unique kitchen worktop is now a non-starter.
Just how many times does Peter Kellner say "a crumb of comfort for Labour"....
The new "a terrible night for the Tory party" analysis.
If they have to take FIFA apart brick by brick to get what they need, they will do it.
Go for it, Ken!

Or use the bits to make a footpath in a Jewish cemetery.

Surely it needs casting into the Cracks of Doom of Amon Amarth.
The best bit of all is that in the hours before the exit poll he sent a stern message to Shad Cab members strictly forbidding triumphalism.
So now's your chance to watch a seriously below average game.

The final vote was between France and Morocco.
Switzerland dropped out fairly late in the game, whilst England dropped out much earlier to concentrate on Euro 96. Germany also withdrew.
What surprised me from another list is that we've only ever officially bid four times.
Edit: According to the Guardian, the bribe for the 1998 world cup was arranged in 1992! Therefore it could be any of the above (or possibly a.n.other).

" In the first 1-3 years of a banking career, Michel discovered that bankers tend to repress their bodies. During this period, they work hard regardless of exhaustion/broken legs/eating disorders/alopecia and do whatever is required to get the job done. Michel came across one female banker in this phase who had fallen and broken her leg in two places on the way to a meeting. Although it changed colour and was painful, the banker ignored the symptoms until her meeting was over."

" The 100-hour workweek, these ironmen and ironwomen tell themselves, is just the opening ante in a high-stakes game.
But investment bankers, salespeople and traders are only human. Under the immense stress of their jobs, many suffer personal and emotional problems that escalate into full-blown crises, with some bankers developing conditions that linger long after they have left the industry."
Some in finance can get very rich very quickly, however most of them will be dead by the age of 40 due to their working conditions.
The really telling bit is where they say they did not re-engage with defeated independence supporters. Labour handled all that very very badly.
Tottenham CLP have nominated Tessa Jowell and David Lammy
Not a good time for Lammy.
Pretty sure Abbott is now on 5 anyway.
Ilford north #1 is Jowell.
Hackney North
Lewisham Deptford
Dagenham
Leyton

Labour needs to expand it's (sic) message to new professions
Do you not think that Labour's message is part of their problem?
With potential leaders like this, Labour is doomed. Doomed; I tell ya!
Lots and lots of questions to answer for some very well known people in athletics.
All opted out as a term of their employment.
Same for city lawyers.
He's boring, old, stale, supported by the last bastions of the really old guard and with the most limited potential to draw voters.
...Sounds like political betting.
That even I couldn't pick him out of crowd despite all the mentions he gets on here speaks volumes. He's a complete non-entity impact wise.
As a result it's 90-100 hours a week instead of 48.
That among others is why the average life expectancy of a finance worker is less than 50.

Labour’s shattered dream
Top read from the Guardian featuring David Axelrod's version of free owls:
- Axelrod was appalled by the low quality of the ideas being discussed, which he derisively characterised as “Vote Labour and win a microwave”.
