He was on ‘John Bishop in conversation with’ during the week, Just him chatting about his life, he came across very well. Reasonable, thoughtful, amusing, didn’t dodge potentially awkward questions, ie, anti-semitism in the party etc. He really has got the hang of appearing on the media now. He looked and sounded, dare i say it, Prime Ministerial. What really came across was his basic decency. He is light years ahead of May and co in the human being stakes. ---

So that shows 2 mps who showed up but where’s the photo of the government side? When I went to the house of commons one evening, in the lords there were about 7 debating something fairly tediuos. ---

Mr De Costa is a UKIP member in Newham. That must be fun in that very multicultural area. Anyway. I thought I’d check Hansard for that debate. It would appear to be this one? Quite a niche discussion about school exchanges under 18 years old and doesn’t appear to be over 18 students. [https://hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2017-11-30/debates/7491DEFA-C991-4586-954B-526BE53C6F71/LeavingTheEUStudentExchanges](https://hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2017-11-30/debates/7491DEFA-C991-4586-954B-526BE53C6F71/LeavingTheEUStudentExchanges) Looks like 2 Labour, 2 Conservatives and 1 Lib Dem. ---

He does look very statesmanlike in that picture - they did a good job. But did anyone hear the interview with the Editor of the magazine on the Today programme on Friday? It is rather amusing and, perhaps, rather revealing. I don’t think this guy has any axe to grind. I liked the line “he was being pushed around a grandpa for the family Christmas photographs”. :lou_lol: [GQ editor Dylan Jones criticises cover star Jeremy Corbyn](http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-42194131) ---

I’d like to dispense some belated cred to @bathsaint , who PM’ed me earlier to determine which thread I’d posted the QC image on. Suspecting a troll attempt, I’m nothing if not helpful. I’m glad I helped out. Turns out I facilitated p’raps the worst trolling attempt in my long forum life. I can see it from Bath’s perspective. The fact that he had to ask me where the image was, and I helped, probably made him blinder to the danger. “I’m going to troll pap! And that little fucker is going to help me!” What actually happened is that we got an ostensibly intelligent chap taking the word of a proven liar and Cameron biographer as:- a) fucking gospel b) relevant to Jeremy Corbyn’s quality as a leader It’s backfired so badly that I have to ask. Bath. Are you a Blairite Labour MP? ---

I heard the same interview in my car while rolling through the Forest. “Why is this on the news?”, was the first question I asked, not knowing who the fuck Dylan Jones was (save the editor of GQ). Very much enjoyed the subsequent coverage. Who doesn’t love seeing Tory liars caught bang to rights?
