    Mr. kle4, but both events would've played a role in that.

    Yes, if the PLP had understood their own rules, they wouldn’t have nominated Corbyn in the first place - although we can be grateful that he was a 100/1 winner for a lot of us. ;)

    Mr. kle4, it's an interesting question. What was worse: the 2017 Conservative General Election campaign, or the PLP's failure to understand their own leadership election rules?

    Both had bloody awful consequences.

    NEW THREAD

    I wrote this on the last thread. TM seems to be saying we are out on the 29th March 2019, end of story

    'Theresa May at the Bank of England this morning stated very clearly that we will leave the EU on the 29th March 2019 and the transition should be viewed as an implementation period to provide time for business and government to adjust to the new order.

    It is clear she is determined to be out on the 29th March 2019 and the idea that the transition period is just to delay and frustrate Brexit is irrelevant, we will be out.

    This is the first time I have heard her say this with such clarity, will please the leavers but frustrate the remainers'
