He won't change.
Is this the end to even free carry on across the industry? In addition to the cost, the best thing about carry on is speed of departure when you get to the other end.
Colour me unsurprised.
And if they don't change position, well, then we'll have left anyway and as upset as people are where are they going to go to punish the government for it? The LDs? If people were willing to do that out of anger at Brexit they'd have done it last year.
And the core will support Corbyn whatever his position anyway.
According to DeltaPoll, almost a third of Tory voters think it’s an historic mistake.

A lot of them do seem to be speaking up for him though for some reason.
Do we have any evidence at all that this narriative of anti-Semitism is cutting through with the public, beyond people who are strongly pro-Israel or already strongly anti-Corbyn?
The gut-busting 7,000 calorie box features a pile of various fried foods and a two-litre bottle of Irn-Bru - promoting one person to brand it "the most Scottish thing I’ve seen."
The bargain bucket contains chips, two pizza crunches, fish, two sausages, two hamburgers, onion rings, chicken nuggets and fritters - all battered.

From a rational point of view, that makes perfect sense.
One can't help noticing, though, that the Labour leadership by its actions and non-actions on Brexit, but even more on anti-Semitism and on supporting terrorist causes, appears in practice to be doing everything it can to push decent, centre-left supporters into splitting off, especially if they want to reverse Brexit.
Is this incompetence, or deliberate policy, or perhaps a correct calculation that the potential splitters are so feeble and so frit that it doesn't matter?
As for there being a concerted smear campaign, I don't doubt those opposes to him, for many reasons, seize upon the stories that emerge, but at the end of the day his associations (and his increasingly lame excuses) and his statements are his own and feed the frenzy, not helped by his most extreme supporters making him look worse than he is due to what they say.
Russian made, 1970s body, eco electric....

Honestly, I am lost.
Has it sunk in yet that Labour is still in opposition?
I suppose you might just be able to argue that Corbyn is so stupid that he didn't know what he was saying, but it's becoming harder by the day to run that argument. He certainly didn't care.
Sickening.
I think Mr Fear is being a bit complacent.
Do keep up...
A lot of weeks back I mentioned that Paul Manafort was suspected of having remarkably close links to Russian intelligence services, consciously close links. That story hasn't really bubbled up yet but it may well do.

Banks is actively attempting to undermine the party.
The Tories can and will reject him.
More to the point, even if someone of his ideology could fit within the party - which I find easy to believe - they don't have to accept someone they think will bring them into disrepute.
So while it is mostly none of my business as I'm not a party member, it also doesn't seem indicative of a troubling attitude if they want to say no.
And most decent Conservative voters quite liked what the Coalition Government did, when it was safely under Lib Dem control (at least some of the time). Not the nasty Tory bits of it, of course.
Labour are much closer to government than they had seemed to be before, and that will keep them together, and the Tories are on the bring of losing power and that will keep them together.
As most PBers will know, I’m a Chuka supporter, but I genuinely don’t see the analog with Banks.

I’m not Scottish but I always thought that The National looks like an interesting paper. I like its provocative headlines!
It’s a shame it’s not on sale down here in London (as far as I know).
About ten years ago, when I were but a lad, there were three Tory champions who seemed to do nothing but post one here. Rik Willis, Marcus Woods and Ian Dale. The first two have gone completely silent, and now we learn that Ian Dale has not been a member of the Tory Party for eight years.
However there is a big discrepancy between them and YouGov on how strong the correlation between Leave/Remain is and current party VI and I'd tend to trust YouGov to have better sampling given their longer track record.
Boris may be vain, grandiose even, but he is not the Oswald Mosley who will be Jackbooting down Cable Street that Banks imagines, as he rocks himself to sleep.
The big unknown is if either, or both, will actually suffer a genuine split because of their infighting. With the evidence to date the most likely outcome I see is some on the side that loses out going indy, but the parties continuing on without a new rival.
