With the majority of the press in over-drive warning of the dire consequences of Corbyn becoming Labour leader, the main effect of his election (should that occur) will be to allow the Tories to do a significant right-shift and still be seen as the only electable party of reason.

You really do miss the target with precision at times.

Not much chance (unless they rig the contest)of backflip Burnham getting anywhere near now. He was supposed to be the biggest threat.

He does have a valid point, If the press supported a donkey, we would face a strong possibility of that donkey entering number 10 Downing Street.

The electorate always gets the government it deserves.

I don't believe for one moment that Corbyn can effect any kind of substantive change for the positive in this country - even if some miracle occurs and he somehow finds himself occupying No. 10 Downing Street.

Suffice to say that the breaking "refugee crisis" all but seals his downfall.

From start to finish this has been an engineered crisis executed masterfully in conjunction with the mainstream media.

Stoke up racial tensions for a few years so every third person sees Muslims hiding under the bed. Then turn down the heat for a period whilst you bomb Middle Eastern & North African nations back to the stone age - thus creating a surge of terrified refugees desperate to escape hell back home.

But the real genius was in damming up the flow so that when you allow it to break it literally drowns Europe under a torrent of exiles. Make sure you have plenty of cameras there to film it. Ensure every third story in the newspapers is about our "obligations" to these people - knowing full well that the seeds sown earlier mean this can only result in outrage.

Corbyn is too nice a guy for the sheetstorm which is about to break on Britain. He'll be pilloried for being "too soft" whilst the ultra-right wing parties go gangbusters.

Tory success for decades.

Hasn't the rise of Scottish nationalism guaranteed Labour will struggle to get elected for a long time anyway?

It's pleasing to know that the Tories can now put together a 10+ year plan. Continuity can't be a bad thing, surely.

I think the rise of Scottish nationalism will fall just as quickly once the Scots realize they've been hustled like a wide-eyed kid playing "Hook A Duck" at the fairground.

Is anything in your weird and paranoid world NOT the result of years/decades of government conspiracy and black ops?

Odd little fellow. Getting more ridiculous every day.

Tory success for decades. Not for the potty teenage reasons you claim but because the Labour Party has shown and continues to show itself incompetent and unelectable, and vast swathes of the population remember the irretrievable mess they've left us in, economically and demographically.

We're in a worse mess now, than we were in 2010.

Keep the faith, bro.

I have the feeling the SNP dominance of Scotland will last for a while, particularly if they can wangle "special Socttish" things from the UK government. I wouldn't be at all surprised if it all falls apart eventually, but isn't the real challenge for Labour to get itself elected in England and Wales?

Can't really blame a global recession on Labour.

Good to see the Tories making the people who caused the recession pay for it though. The poorest and most vulnerable in our society, rightly paying for their actions in the global markets via austerity. That'll show em.
