"When I was a girl, around 12 or 13, I had a fantasy that I'd grow up to marry Captain Scarlet, but he'd be busy fighting the Mysterons so I'd cuckold him with the sexiest people I could think of - Nigel Mansell, Pat Sharp and Mr. Blobby."

A hard Brexit is one that involves leaving the single market, which, remember, even the Vote Leave campaign mocked as crazy and silly and self-destructive and said no-one was advocating that. Soft Brexit is some EEA-type arrangement. No-one's proposing that now, it's just different flavours of hard Brexit. I can believe Labour will be marginally less head-bangy then the c Tories, absolutely. But it's a good hard Brexit either way.

Fair enough, I guess we're just interpreting statements from Labour differently about what they're aiming for. Sadly, we're very unlikely to see what they mean in practice. :(

if centre left keynesianism is too left wing for these 'moderates' then they're just shy right wingers who should gently caress entirely off

I think some of them are just people who want to be a MP but don't have the required connections to be a Tory.

It's the only explanation as to how so many right wingers end up in the Labour party.

Yeah, for some reason some people think May is anti Hard Brexit. No idea where that is coming from, everything I have seen suggests she desperately wants to make the Hardest of splits. I think she knows it is how she goes down in history, never to be forgotten, the one who "Tore Europe Apart".

Sure but I think because he was the person who broke through, as it were, he has become totemic to the press and labour MPs. I think a younger successor who's still left-wing will be less of a lightening rod. Maybe not with the press but at least with a decent amount of Labour MPs. I might just be being naive on that front though.

I think if anything they'll see a new, younger successor as an easier target. Corbyn's a nice jam grandad but he's also a man of steel - he's had decades of campaigning, and organising, supporting difficult causes and holding his own party to account, and he stuck out the years of attacks as leader and shrugged it off. He's a political badass and they've tried their best to come for him, and look what's happened - soaring popularity from the depths of personal polling, a genuinely enthused electorate

That's why they tried so hard to stop him, there's an establishment in the party and Corbyn and his agenda threatens it. If the system is changed to allow this to keep happening (instead of preventing it, which is how it's currently set up - Corbyn was an anomaly) they lose their grip. So they'll absolutely attack whoever represents the leftist faction, and if they can be manipulated or undermined to reverse things that's exactly what will happen. They'll smell blood
