The Mail is leading with a story that McDonnell once wanted to assassinate Thatcher...
Quote:
Mr McDonnell, one of Mr Corbyn’s few allies at Westminster, was handed the Shadow Chancellor role, despite a clamour from Labour MPs for the appointment of a woman to soften the look of Labour’s all-male senior team.
Mr McDonnell has also been criticised for his praise of IRA hunger striker Bobby Sands. In 2003, he declared: ‘It’s about time we started honouring those people involved in the armed struggle. It was the bombs and bullets and sacrifice made by the likes of Bobby Sands that brought Britain to the negotiating table. The peace we have now is due to the action of the IRA.’
In 2010, he said he would like to ‘go back to the 1980s and assassinate Thatcher’.

I hope Corbyn and his team do a sterling job of holding this Government to account. That is what a good opposition is about. It makes no matter what their policy is, they are not in a position to enforce it.
They will never get near power anyway.
Always enjoyed the few political discussions I had with John he is a very intelligent bloke even if his views are a little off the wall. Remarkable insight as well He told me Cameron would be the next leader of the Tory party long before he was even being touted in the press.
Always fair to say that very often the press mis-quote him.
As for RK looks like he wasted £3. Corbyn would have won anyway....
We are in for some er...... Interesting exchanges across the despatch box in the next few Months.
Corbyn's first test will come next year in the Scots elections. If he can take seats back off the SNP that in itself will not be a bad thing. Scotland can out-socialise even the likes of Corbyn and McD.
Sturgeon is pinning her hopes on a landslide on a manifesto commitment for another independence referendum. If Labour can take seats back from the SNP with that as a major debating point that has to be good for the Union (of the UK)
