Gutted when I see The Valley three quarters empty, highly amused by this.

Just for balance, even the Guardian struggles to spin it...

    I can't imagine anything I'd rather not go to. That includes the same thing for the Conservatives.

    It's a political party. It's stupid to do other stuff unless you know you will cover the costs. And the derision if you get it wrong.
    I speak as someone who rejoined the Labour Party because of Jeremy Corbin.

    Corbyn. Jeremy Corbyn.

    NB Tracy Ullman did a great sketch on Labour Live this week.

    Look at that bloke in his St George’s flag chair, surprised he wasn’t evicted for his far right extremism

    Was a stupid idea - also having it during the world cup. I had a few e-mails promoting this but couldn't have been less excited. Needed a headline act that people wanted to see for starters! That should have been the starting point!

    That has to be the most emphatic example of fake news this year.
    There is a reason they are begging readers for a few quid, jokers.

    Maajid Nawaz on LBC described them the other day as the left wing daily mail, fairly accurate description.

    No comparison. People actually read the daily mail for starters. And the Guardian prides itself on its truth and accuracy, which is why it has such a detailed and extensive corrections supplement.

    He’s probably the most balanced presenter they have, love his shows, a man with a very full history and experiences

    I think he was more aiming his comparison in the sense of bias towards politics and race baiting.

    He’s bang on the money find myself agreeing with him more than any other on the show, a former extremist Liberal Democrat, never thought I’d find myself on the same side!

    Of course he’s now met with “Uncle Tom” type insults.
