Performance Of Labour MPs At Westminster

Charles I think you are very unkind to the memory of Michael Foot

Michael was an intellectual a deep thinker and a very kind-hearted person , a true parliamentarian

Lawrence... he was a Loony Lefty who made a bigger contribution to the unelectablity of the Labour Party in the 80s and early 90s than anyone else in history (pre Corbyn!) On which subject, with the emergence of Corbyn, who would now criticise Foot for making a scarecrow look like the epitome of sartorial elegance? The thing is, guys like Lenin, Marx (Karl - and except the beard) and Trotsky actually used to look relatively smart. It's just these neo-Commies who have (unsuccessfully) tried to make it trendy to be scruffy.

That's shallow even by your standards. Perhaps we should vote for politicians on the basis of who has the best tailor and personal groomer. Good grief, I bet if the chap ever chose to wear a tie it would be polyester rather than a decent silk one.....

The position of the PLP on further military intervention in Syria is an absolute shambles. The fact that the leader of the opposition will be strongly opposing the motion while the shadow foreign secretary will be speaking in favour is beyond parody.

The SNP remain more than ever the only credible left of centre party in UK politics.

In fairness to Jeremy Corbyn and his wing of the Labour Party, yesterday's victory in the Oldham West By election was as comprehensive as it was surprising, for the pundits and political chattering classes considering that as recently as last week many were predicting a UKIP victory.

Whilst JC is increasingly ridiculed by the political and media establishment, including many of his own parliamentary colleagues, he clearly continues to strike a chord with ordinary voters albeit that the only real test so far has been in traditional Labour territory.

Something that his detractors both within and outwith the party he 'leads' should bear in mind together with the overwhelming mandate given to him by Labour Party members only a matter of months ago.
