The last time I saw someone behave like James Cleverly did was at middle school circa 1989. "I saw it sir, I saw him say it".

Do you honestly think the reaction would have been any different if it had been a Tory minister? Get real.

In fact, it's very interesting watching left-wingers playing the whole thing down...all the while knowing full well if (for example) Philip Hammond had been seen saying the same thing the anti-Tory frenzy would be on another scale and he'd have been forced to resign by now.

You know, and I know it.

No, my bias is in the opposite direction.

If anything, I think the Tories are more likely to get a pass because nobody expects better of them.

While anti-semitism in the Labour Party feels shocking to me, charges of islamophobia against in the Conservative party... well, what else would we expect?

Also, there’s no definitive evidence and if you don’t think a Tory could brazen this out, then I don’t think you have been watching properly.

Bless the ickle snowflake right wingers getting outraged. What Corbyn did was wrong. What he should have done was walk across the floor & snotted the stupid cow. An outraged party & woman who only a few days ago gave the whip back to 2 MPs who had sent thousands of explicit sexual messages. A woman whose actions are destroying the country, its health, education & social services, killing hundreds of homeless, putting record numbers on the streets, yet thinks it is acceptable to behave like the privileged upper class ponce in a high school drama lesson, cheered on by her parasitic fags, in the supposed home of intellectual debate.

Own goal alert!

Phillip Hammond referred to his fellow Tory MP, and prominent swivel-eyed unicorn salesperson Andrea Jenkyns, as a "stupid woman" in July; she brushed it off as part of the "cut and thrust of politics."

Not to mention:

David Cameron to Angela Eagle: "Calm down dear"
Nicholas Soames to a female Labour MP: "woof woof"
William Hague to female Labour MP: "stupid stupid woman"
Boris Johnson to Emily Thornberry: "The noble and learned The Baroness whatever it is"

And lets not forget that the prominent feminist and enabler of women in parliament Theresa May, restored the whip to 2 alleged sex pests in her own party, just to get their support in the confidence vote - to a deafening silence from the MSM.

But you're right - sexism is very definitely one of the growing list of isms that Corbyn is labelled with every time the Tories are in hot water; it's almost as if they're trying to distract us...

And she speaks so highly of you.

No, what he should do is stop gambling on a reasonable Brexit deal in the hope of creating so much chaos and damage he gets a shot at No.10.

Because unless you're a complete blithering idiot, it should be clear that's what's going on. Labour is throwing us all off a cliff to get a General Election.

Yes, there is some division with the Tory party - but this policy of 'Tories out at any cost' from several parties is taking us all down the path of No Deal. And you know what, the public can see it. Labour think they'll win votes if Brexit implodes? They could be surprised.

Calm down dear - you're transposing your faux outrage onto me.

You said:

"In fact, it's very interesting watching left-wingers playing the whole thing down...all the while knowing full well if (for example) Philip Hammond had been seen saying the same thing the anti-Tory frenzy would be on another scale and he'd have been forced to resign by now."

Which clearly isn't the case, because the last time I checked, spreadsheet Phil is still sitting pretty in no 11, despite saying *exactly* the words that you wish Corbyn had said, but with an extra "stupid" thrown in for good measure.

This whole thing is a dead cat - and the media are complicit; meanwhile, people are literally dying on the streets. It's pathetic - I'm off to fly my drone.

Yeah, that’s what i’m curious about from a Leave perspective. For them no Brexit remains a no-no (fair enough, we had a vote) - so which do they prefer now? No deal or May’s deal? And how happy are they with that?

Please, outrage? Did you read the last paragraph?

I don't do outrage.

The strategists at Labour HQ don't care. They want No.10 and they want it by any means. They think that if they can drive Brexit to a no-deal (or even remain in the EU), they can all blame the Tories and force a General Election.

Truth is, Corbyn is a Euro-sceptic of many decades. Meanwhile, the new Corbynite Labour members are pro-remain while much of Labour's traditional heartlands are strongly for leave. They're wrestling with themselves.

Thing is, I'm far from convinced they would even win a GE. Corbyn is unelectable for many and the public aren't so stupid as not to see who has driven us to no-deal.

Perhaps they don’t, but it’s not them asking.

Do you think May’s deal is good? Or merely better than crashing out?

FWIW, given that Cameron’s first shot was into the deep rough, she went to grab an iron and pulled out a putter (that’s the election), and her caddy is pointing enthusiastically towards the water hazard (that’s the ERG), I think she’s done alright.
