Has he talked to Lincolnshire farmers whose crops have rotted in the fields over the last two harvests due to a shortage of Eastern European pickers post Brexit?

I think that a number were considering it last weekend. Might be too late to do it with credibility now. But maybe could still be timed to cause a splash this week.
@IanHawkes82
@Idontmind64
He has, in a
@spectator
column today, described himself as being on a “career hiatus”. He clearly does not regard being an MP to be a job.
Can we put to bed once and for all this idea that Corbyn was in any way a successful leader? Labour did not nearly win in 2017. 55 seats and 800k votes behind Theresa May. Only 3 seats more than Brown won after 13 years in government, and much further behind. (1/3)
@andycommons_
Look at the answers here. They’ve convinced themselves, in spite of all the evidence to the contrary, that there’s absolutely no difference between the worst government in living memory and Labour. There’s no reasoning with them.
When Starmer succeeded Jeremy in 2020 he said “I want to pay tribute to Jeremy Corbyn, who led our party through some really difficult times, who energised our movement, & who’s a friend as well as a colleague"
What happened?
Two blatant lies from Corbyn. He did not accept the findings of the EHRC report as he claims, and the Forde Report did not say that claims of antisemitism had been exaggerated. How does this serial dissembler and habitual lier have a reputation for honesty?
"Jeremy only has his self to blame"
"You know perfectly well what I said"
Watch
@leicesterliz

@jeremycorbyn
clash over his suspension from the Labour whip.

Fascinating, disturbing, essential reading from

. On a personal level, it is revealing my unwitting and naive role in the antisemitic proto Corbynite left. 1/2
@AndrewRacklyeft
I despair whenever I see that the so-called Christian Legal Centre are involved. They appear to be an unpleasant bunch fundamentalists with no compassion.
@LeeAndersonMP_
We both grew up in Notts in the 1980’s and we both saw what happened when the Tories attacked working class people. You sold your soul to them for a seat in Parliament. You’re just a cheap grifter.
@bobballardsport
You are experienced enough a journalist to know that "if I did, I apologise" is not an unconditional apology. It turns the focus on the person who is offended, compounding the offence caused.

My parents and their neighbours are his constituents and they care very deeply. They're in their late 80's and have been in lockdown for almost two years. They have played by the rules.
@ginamartinuk
Duffield picking a fight that doesn't exist - there is no all-woman shortlist in Sheffield Central - in a deliberate transphobic attack on Eddie Izzard. She is determined to prevent Izzard from being elected and is trying to get suspended from the PLP.
Whenever you challenge a Corbynite crank on Corbyn’s support for the IRA, their first response is that he was “working for peace”. But as soon as you point out this is nonsense, they switch to defending Republicanism. And then they pivot to Palestine. Every time…
@Baddiel
More plausible and more frightening, I think we are playing out a potential scenario where Farage is elected, readmitted to the Tory party by Braverman and party leader by the next election.
No
@RoryStewartUK
; Starmer withdrawing the whip from Corbyn is nothing like Johnson doing the same to Ken Clarke. Clarke did not unapologetically drag the Tory party into the gutter of antisemitic hatred.

What I find sad is that I know trans and non binary people for whom Harry Potter was a massive part of their growing up. You can easily recognise why they identified with the Hogwarts world. JKR’s statements on trans people feel like a huge kick in the teeth from a friend.

Having a Prime Minister we can trust would therefore seem even more important than ever. Particularly when it seems that he and his party are bankrolled by Russia.
@ExStrategist
No. Burnham or Cooper would have campaigned effectively, argued the progressive case for Remain and wouldn’t have hesitated to share platform with other Remain supporting parties. Remain would almost certainly have won (and it would have destroyed the Tories).
@EddieIzzardLab
I’m very sad that this may put other trans women, with less of a high profile and support network, from standing for Labour. The abuse you have suffered over the last few weeks has been sickening.
@LeanneWood
Armistice day and Remembrance Sunday are to solemnly respect the memory of those who have given their lives. It is not the time or place for protest.

@thetimes
You stated “from the river to the sea”, a line that utterly rejects a two state solution and Israel’s right to a peaceful secure existence, in the full knowledge of how alarming this is to the vast majority of British Jews. Shameful.
Labour should take the fight to Corbyn now. Start the candidate selection process, force Corbyn’s hand on whether or not he will stand as an independent and if he does, expel him and anyone who endorses his candidacy. And get this over a year out from the likely election date.
The frozen conflict in Jeremy Corbyn's Islington
Me on why only one local Labour figure has said they will run against him and why Starmer will wait till the last moment before saying he can't stand.

In which case, reporters should be duty-bound to point out that there is no longer anything exceptional about the UK's vaccine rates, and that the number of deaths is far more significant.
@nottslive
Typical crass statement from a very unpleasant MP. Remember when C4 caught him out trying to pass off a friend as a random member of the public?
Can you imagine how
@OwenJones84
would have reacted had anyone on the centre left of Labour openly stated that they did not want Corbyn’s Labour to win a majority? Hasn’t he just expelled himself from the party?
Membership numbers are irrelevant. Less than 1% of the population belong to a political party - more people go to watch premiership football than have ever belonged to Labour, even if you include Corbyn’s 3 quid supporters.
Corbyn was an utterly hopeless leader. (3/3)

The critical error of populist politicians. A crowd of a few thousand people, the vast majority of whom would have voted Labour anyway, does not equate to electoral success. Labour was never close to winning in 2019.

Or burglary? “Someone is guilty of robbery if he steals from a person using force or makes them think force will be used. Theft means taking someone's property but does not involve the use of force. Burglary means illegally entering a property in order to steal property from it”
@toryboypierce
Labour has had 6 Prime Ministers in history. The Tories have had 5 since 2010. When it comes to diversity - Women MPs: Con 24%, Lab 51%, LibDem 64%
Ethnic minority MPs: Con 6%, Lab 20%, LibDem 18%

Ah; I see that Johnson went for the comedy answer - “"I object to the knighthood on purely literary grounds. His novels are more or less impenetrable. What about John Le Carre or Martin Amis? Or Dick Francis - has he got a knighthood yet?”. Typical.

He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives

to set at liberty those who are oppressed”
As co-president of SOAS student union in 1989, I shared and promoted anti-Zionist positions without ever thinking I was being antisemitic. I was clearly wrong. But this was the far-left environment that the likes of Corbyn were at the heart of. 2/2
@JenniferB41
Yes; but tactical voting to get the Tories out is the only priority. We will never rejoin under the Tories and they are trashing our relationship with Europe.

His killer was brought to justice. What about the killers of the three British Israelis murdered for being Jewish at the weekend? Not a word?
@MarinaPurkiss
There are also unanswered questions about attending a party at Lebedev’s villa in Italy when he was Foreign Secretary without security and seemingly without informing civil servants. The potential risk to national security seems insanely high.

Corbyn was rejected twice by the British people, the second time categorically. This lies at his door alone, not at those of us who warned you that this would happen.

@LibDems
Sorry Clive. No-one outside trusts Corbyn on Brexit. Many of us, quite justifiably, believe that he would be entirely comfortable with no deal, as long as there’s no blood on his hands. We also suspect that Corbyn is incapable of a bipartisan approach.
@gawdyhall
@davesumnersmith
Give it up. The “breaches were minor and/or inadvertent, and that there was no deliberate attempt to mislead”. You Corbyn cultists are Tory enablers.
@PeoplesMomentum
@jeremycorbyn
55 seats and 800k votes behind the Tories. The Tory vote share increased. Labour lost. Corbyn was a disaster for Labour.
@mulholland30
An angry, irritable, vain man, who is nowhere near as honest as his cult believe. A very poor leader. He gives the impression that he intensely dislikes the UK and appears to always stand with its enemies, including the IRA.

I get your point - but as much as I dislike the Tories, she probably achieves more as a dissenting voice within the party than she would as a cross-bencher or a Lib Dem.

Note that he’s not protesting against apartheid. He’s protesting about his right not to be part of the official protest approved by the ANC. This is all about Corbyn. I wouldn’t trust either of them.

Then filter it. It's a little bit of fun, and unlike 99% of what's going on the internet, no-one is trying to sell anything or mine your data.

I don't have to carry around my driver's license, and I only carry my passport in order to, well, pass through ports. As long as I am not breaking any law, I should be under no obligation to prove my identity to anyone when simply moving around the UK.

It's happened countless times. Accompanied by annoyance and occasional insults because I choose to wear sensible warm underwear. Which is essentially an admission of voyeuristic intent.
