2015 hasn’t been the happiest of years for Labour. They have had worse ones – 1931, perhaps – but it’s still been a bit of a shocker. Today’s leadership election result ought to close that chapter and open a new and more hopeful one.

I cannot say that if Corbyn becomes Labour Leader at midday, that Labour will not get another Jewish vote, but it will be in the hundreds instead of the thousands that Labour usually gets.
Still, he'll have a major part of the muslim vote sown up.
Dave v Diane ? There isn't enough popcorn
And if so how much?
sorry; 76.3%
Wait until the voters hear about getting out of nato, nuclear disarmament, and most of all, yet more mass immigration.
The best at this that immediately springs to mind is Stephen Sackurs' HardTalk on BBC World - why does this not make the terrestrial channel I don't know. Surprisingly a dose of humour can also help drop the guard of the interviewee, see Jon Stewart or even Ali G for examples of that.
Then he would face accusations of being frit.
And because it will presumably be run as tightly as a whalebone corset they may have some extra influence proportionally.
I wonder if we will ever know how many incomers there were. 200+ Green candidates implies quite a lot of unidentified Greens.
AV made no difference whatsoever to the Mayor vote, in terms of the order of candidates selected.

Corbyn's team and supporters v confident this morning - strong sense it's in the bag
So he can't even count on his supporters...
In other news, the Pope is still Catholic
I facing this week?"
Pleasing hearing about Tory aggression towards the BBC.
If as expected Corbyn wins then I think the BBC is going to get a well earned kicking as the Tories become more confident. I can see them gradually cutting funding and privatising them after 2020 if they win again.
0....???? 10.....???? 50.....???
If twitter was a guide labour would have a majority.
Andrew Neil is always well on top of his subject and has detailed facts to refute what the interviewee says.
Unfortunately he is so good that Cameron will be interveiwed by him. Others get shreaded.
I'll get my donkey jacket....
I imagine the tory backbenchers are composing the tame questions for PMQ as we speak...
''Mr Speaker does the Prime Minister share with me the extreme distaste of the opposition's links with ( insert terror group or despot).''
Perhaps we will be seeing the Gang of 200.
Arf...
*Before another meme starts, Dave has attended more PMQs than any other PMQs in absolute and percentage numbers since 1997.

Labour MP, an avowed antiCorbynista, tells me:"This is just *one* election in *one* part of the Labour party." #ominous
But behind the scenes his team will be feeding the media with the dirt.
Implies that there's only a slight chance that Corbyn has not won on the first count.
The next Labour PM is probably not even an MP at the moment.
Whips and managers from all parties must be hoping for a conference season scalp as UKIP got with that TPD last year.
*I'm just kidding, some backbenchers are probably very able and decent MPs, even when they are called upon to do some awkward PMQ bootlicking.
Ed Miliband Resigned The Labour Leadership. What Happened Next Will Amaze You.
Very true Mr Kle. One of many sharp and salient comments from your good self recently IMHO.
The Dear Leader wearing a white poppy pinned to the extreme left of his donkey jacket lapel will lay a wreath of deepest red roses at the base of the Ed Stone.
Bands will play and veterans will march past and the masses will mourn.
It's coming home!
Labour's coming home!
Senior aide to Liz Kendall says Corbyn has won in the first round with over 60% of the vote.

Is it a "usual channels" process, or do we get Diddy Man Bingo?
I'm not sure. I just read a tweet from James Forsyth that the defeated at the place are not making a scintilla of effort to hide their feelings about the result.
When they emerge, the pictures are just going to be too, too delicious....
