Yes it's going marvellously isn't it. Harmony and unity personified. I've got to admit I'm impressed that Corbo and McDonnell have done what I thought was impossible; find a way of rebelling against their own fiscal policy!

http://order-order.com/2015/10/12/inside-the-plp-i...

Two weeks ago McDonnell said "We will back the Fiscal Charter". Now he says "We won't back the fiscal Charter". So tell us; does Labour back it or not? How does this "total fking shambles" (the exact word of one Labour MP last night) accord with the Labour's new strapline of "Straight Talking. Honest Politics"?

Then there's Diane Abbott's hilarious car crash interview this morning on Today...

Looks like plenty of Labour MPs will show Corbachev the same levels of loyalty he extended to Kinnock, Smith, Blair, Brown, Millipede E and Harman. Explain why they shouldn't.

You have one hour, use both sides of the paper...

TL/DR. Has anyone made the Overton Window point yet?

Overton window - region of views acceptable to most voters. What was once radical can become mainstream, and all that. Labour moves to left, centre ground moves gently leftward - arguably already apparent after Miliband era with Osborne adopting some Blairish tropes. Thatcher arguably moved the Overton window and pulled Labour gently rightwards - hence Blair her fave son.

Go away...

Delphic, but non oracular.

Oh, all right, then. fk off....

PMQs about to start. Apparently he's crowd sourced the fking questions...again.

Looking forward to hearing him get ripped to shreds over the economy u-turn and general party chaos.

It's ridiculous, Corbyn stumbling with no gravitas and totally out of his depth. It's actually painful.

Yeah, I dont get the 'this question from Matthew' as if it's Saturday morning kids TV with one direction being offered questions from the viewers by a presenter.

It's an interesting way to bring conversation to the floor indirectly, but I think he'd be better just saying 'we have a question about this' Too much going around the houses and fluff. I think this guy just wants to sit in an office and do some admin about counting bins and stuff.

The whole of PMQs looks a cringeworthy farce. Braying idiots acting like children all under the control of the presiding officer of the House of Commons, John bloody Bercow. No wonder people get switched off politics. It's pathetic.

[Stevanos]

He looked out of his depth, he also did not seem very well armed with the facts today.

Of course, what a giggle eh? I mean, actually having to consider questions by normal hard working people who wonder when they will feel the benefits of our 'booming economy'.

John Bercow - cuckold

Normal hard working people deserve someone competent to represent them in the house of commons, not a local radio DJ who reads out a couple of cards and then hands over to Dianne for the traffic.

His job is to take on board the feedback from constituents and formulate his OWN questions, based on the issues they feel are most pressing (and where they might be able to score some points over the Tories). If it's anything like the first one, Cameron will have an easy ride as there wasn't a single follow-up question relating to the first in order to pin him down on anything. DC got to say his piece, get the soundbite he wanted and move along unchallenged.

TBH, if this is how PMQ's will go they could dispense with the cost of several hundred very expensive MPs, get the public to submit the questions through a website and have Cameron read them off a page himself. Corbyn's a waste of oxygen and long may he stay in charge of the Labour party!

P.S. Anyone hear Diane Abbott's appalling appearance on the Today programme? She makes my skin crawl and her devotion to the (st) party line was comical: http://order-order.com/2015/10/13/diane-abbott-lau...

At least Corbyn is making an attempt to do it. All David Cameron appears to be interested in is using PMQs to get his own MPs to ask him if he agrees with his own planted questions.


Conservative back benchers laughing at "Mathews questions" unfortunately just look like out of touch MPs scoffing at the general public.

She's certainly a special case - I always assumed it was to meet some quota.

Apparently, politics is now a game of perception - wonder how deep the regret will be when the braying tts watch the footage and realise what utter morons they sound.
