Jeremy Corbyn should be worrying that Boris Johnson is stealing Labour Leave voters | John RentoulI certainly assumed Johnson had lost the cross-party appeal that made him a two-time mayoral winner in a Labour city, and it is true that young Remainers have gone right off him since the referendum. But this polling suggests that he still appeals across party lines among the Leave half of the population Will the 'Blue' areas on the electoral map move northwards into the Midlands and the North and the 'Amber' areas increase in the south and west? What will happen to the 'Red' areas? I suppose he should be. But he isn't. Because it isn't going to happen

AAMEEN SUMM AAMEEN . So please educate an undereducated yank. Is the Labour Party in Great Britton the equivalent of the Democratic Party DNC across the pond? And are the Tories the same stick-up-the-bum a-holes as the American republicans? Please advise. Thank you. MPs have a right to feel safe, sad to hear that is not the case. Agree we need MPs from a diverse background and experience. Disagree we need EU to protect our rights, need to have shown more faith in UK voters. Freedom is about the right to make mistakes, learn and grow.

Corbyn and Labour in power will be nightmare before Christmas, says NICK FERRARIIT'S ON! And how appropriate that after dragging it out for almost as much time as it takes to fight a world war, this time it really 'will all be over by Christmas', as was the tragically optimistic claim in July 1914 when the First World War began. 'It' being the election, of course, not Brexit which is the present that 17.4million British people wanted more than anything this year. Nick go back and join your NAZI family Oh well if Nick says it it must be right! The man is entitled to his opinion but that is all it is. One blokes opinion.

Labour questions Dominic Cummings's links to RussiaEmily Thornberry writes to government asking for details of No 10 security vetting Anyone that still thinks that Brexit has been brought about for positive reasons really really really needs to do some reading and research, we’re British and this sort of stuff should not be something any of us are willing to accept regardless of personal affiliations to Brexit That might be a good thing to question, especially since Putin recently killed a few people in England. He's kind of a dangerous fellow. Also beware of Putin's orange sidekick. Good to see Labour bringing a knife to a knife fight.
