JC wore a smart blue jacket and nice red tie for his budget response - but I'm not a fan of black trousers with blue jacket.

He really doesn't scrub up well.

I thought he looked smart at the despatch box - from the front. I was a wee bit disappointed when a side view revealed black trousers with the blue jacket. But smart - yes - I thought so. As it happens I thought that for a lot of the time during Corbyn's response that Osborne looked like a rather discomforted and embarrassed teenager.

With Alan Johnson's claim that he undermined the official Labour remain campaign I think his time is up.
Shame really, decent guy, but he neither seems to be a team player or team leader.

They did not like how he got there... He isn't one of them. There comes a time where distinguishing which party they represent gets too difficult...
I hear that Jeremy Corbyn visited a furniture factory today.
To order a new Cabinet!

Still plenty of rank and file support for him...

In the Labour Party?

Yes, it now appears we have four sections of the Tory party at Westminster ranging from extreme right, farfar right, far right and right.
As politics, like fashion runs in cycles I just hope that the eventual return of the Left does not involve too much aggro.

How bad must the Liberals be at the moment? They should be making hay with all the carnage going on and you simply do not see or hear them.

Scottish Libs seem to be coming round to Indyref2.
That will be why no one takes them seriously then.

Liberals shot them selves in the foot, they were weak in govt with the Tories controlling them. No point voting for them they are not distinct enough. Labour or conservative. Unless the SNP contest more seats!

I rather fear for Labour. Witness Scottish Labour.
They thought it couldn't get any worse after the Holyrood elections - until the Westminster elections wiped them out of there also. But surely that was rock bottom for Scottish Labour - the only way is up - shoorly! But then there came the EU referendum; and Scotland voted to stay whilst the UK vote was to Leave - and so polling support for YES jumps 5-10% - and even the oldies are starting to move to YES
- support for the SNP won't fall with that - and support for Scottisg Labour unlikely to soar. But shoorly that has to be rock bottom! Until most of the Westminster shadow cabinet resigns and the chance of a future Labour government under Corbyn looks like a very forlorn hope - with estimates of a snap GE with Labour under Corbyn losing 150 of their 225 seats - and so what point Scottish Labour Westminster representation full stop!
So for Scottish Labour - events conspire such that as soon as Kezia thinks it can't get worse - it does.
And so also with Corbyn and Labour in general - it could get much much worse - and if a snap GE does result in loss of something like 150 seats - even that might not be then end of the bad things.

The next term will be pants .... It's kick off article 50 or not. Not will lead to no end of back biting and moaning. To kick article 50 off could point to a gruesome reality that will go down in history. Stand up Boris follow through on your win, stop back peddling and bring your mate Gove as well ... Anyway there will be two Tory candidates one for leave one for stay ...watch the selection process.
Every time the Labour Party has been in power, they have almost bankrupted the country. The Blair/Brown Government involved us in an illegal Middle-Eastern war and sold off most of our gold reserves at a rock bottom price. They are very good at electing totally useless left-wing leaders such as Foot, Kinnock, Miliband, and now Corbyn. I hope we never trust them with power again!

Please don’t ask to see my tatts 👍
Unfortunately delc, as much as you are correct the " Young uns" of today do not know of mesters Foot and Kinnock. They still think that Corbyn is a viable alternative.
