You couldn't make it up, well, you could, but no-one would believe you. "McDonnell gets bigger role after local election failures"

Guardian readers don't like it at all going by the comments.

Apparently Burnham was off quaffing champagne in some swanky restaurant when Corbyn rocked up in Manchester. Some things never change..

Edit: But worry not! Jezza says they are closing the gap: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-politics-3979913...

He told us "Andy" was already hard at work not quaffing champers the liar.
Andy's done a great job, how dare JC try to steal his thunder.

It looks like they are on a quest to find the one true ring.

Centre one's definitely a ringer, it's Al Murray.

Very much this. It'll turn into a one party state if Labour don't bin the wasters and start getting their act together.

I can't think of any question to which John McDonald is the answer

Well not a positive question anyway

For fks sake. Someone just told me she got paid £110k for appearing on the BBC this week, my 4 year old nephew could have done better than she did....
Who on earth told you that? The BBC doesn't pay fees to politicians for media interviews. If it did it would be bankrupt by the end of the general election campaign

Give them a break. At least they're keeping their local charity shops going by buying their clothes there.

This has been reported before, for example, here's a report from 2014:

However the story was resurrected this week:

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/3486424/labours-dian...

The figure's right but it's not just this week as it's fees since 2003.

Despite being a politician, she's not being paid as one; she's being paid as a pundit.

I still don't think that's right for a serving politician though, and it's particularly hypocritical for her.

As stated, that's not for interviews, but as a pundit on a current affairs news show over a 14 year period.

Which, coincidentally, is how much the Labour manifesto is going to tell us it will cost to stick a hospital at the end of every street!

The more visible she is, the more she harms Corbyn's chances of getting into power

The BBC is quite literally providing a public service. Cheap at twice the price.

Yeah... let's listen to the vile IRA sympathiser and vote him in as PM.

He has clearly stated that he will not defend our country if push came to shove.
"Asked in what circumstances he would back deploying British troops, Mr Corbyn said: “I'm sure there are some. But I can't think of them at the moment."

He will build nuclear subs... but they will not have any weapons.
He wants to get rid of our armed forces.

There is a special place in hell for this individual.
