Being highly skilled at killing poor people in foreign countries does give him relevant experience for being a Labour PM, I must admit.

TBF when offered the chance, Dan Jarvis (and James Blunt) declined to start World War 3. Maybe he's not ready to make the tough decisions that Blair would have.

Nope. That's definitely not to say that I want that to happen, but I knew before I cast my vote that I (and this country) would face 5 - 10 years of challenges were the leave vote to be successful.

It's a ridiculous question. If he says he voted Remain then it'll just be "Corbyn lied about voting remain" - there is no way to prove it to the satisfaction of those determined to believe otherwise and even just engaging with it makes it more of a thing.

That's a cop out. I voted for Watson as deputy leader because I knew Labour needed balance, have praised Nandy effusively for months and even said I could deal with Umunna provided there was a strong left wing deputy to keep him in line. Just name a name.

My biggest issue with "Corbyn out" is it's a total leap in the dark. I'm not married to Corbyn, I just want something other than "Corbyn out, ????, Profit".
