I watched some of the debate in the HoC this afternoon, and that seemed to reflect the mood.

I appreciate that the tories are enjoying a moment of glee today, bless them

Both glee but also giving Ms Badenoch a very easy target she just can't miss so she's looking more capable (to Conservatives).

Silver linings and all that.

It would be more than just a silver lining, if it meant Starmer didn't keep on having to appease the racists with anti-immigrant stuff, and could also ditch his EU 'red lines'. I get the impression that McS has insulated/isolated him from his backbench MPs, but also totally controlled what he is allowed to think and say.

When you consider the McSweeney/Mandleson alliance and propensity for dirty tricks it may be worth reconsidering everything you read about Corbyn while the two plotted to excise him from the Labour Party

I thought of this when I heard Corbyn’s speech earlier in the HoC. Certainly had the measure of Mandelson.
