When will Corbyn depart as Labour leader? @LadPolitics makes 2020 or later the favourite. https://t.co/xBZii85Oyz pic.twitter.com/d751NyUVpl — TSE (@TSEofPB) September 15, 2015 I think the logic Ladbrokes are employing is given Corbyn’s overwhelming mandate and Labour’s general aversion to replacing poorly performing leaders makes it likely Corbyn will last until the election. It is hard to criticise that logic. There’s been a lot of comment and criticism about Jeremy Corbyn’s shadow cabinet reshuffle which makes some people want to back…

The Conservative party's opening attack on Jeremy Corbyn pic.twitter.com/w8Dxh6odWG — TSE (@TSEofPB) September 14, 2015 Whilst Mr Corbyn is leader we might expect to see some shy Labour voters Judging by the opening attacks from the Conservatives greeting Jeremy Corbyn election as Labour leader you get the feeling Corbyn’s victory was foretold in The Book of Revelation somewhere between The Seven Headed Dragon and The Whore of Babylon.

Market by @ladpolitics on what Corbyn might say at this week's PMQs. https://t.co/gNWmEZyrMT pic.twitter.com/XOMPscmseI — TSE (@TSEofPB) September 14, 2015 With Corbyn’s first PMQs coming up on Wednesday Ladbrokes have opened up a market on what Corbyn might say. These betting markets often appear to exist purely to fund the bookies’ bonus fund and I’m not sure I can see any value here, Punch and Judy at 5/1 might be the one to go for. Perhaps PBers might be more…

SportingIndex open spread market on how many days Corbyn will last as leader. Opening 475 (cont) http://t.co/QVSaKrz0xB — Mike Smithson (@MSmithsonPB) September 14, 2015 The market opens at 475 days The 475 days would mean that Corbyn’s stint as leader would end on the 31st of December 2016. Whilst discussing this market earlier on today with PBer Tissue Price his view on 475 was if pushed he’d sell, but it’s a risky one. I agree with him that it is risky…

Ten years ago David Cameron’s victory speech as the newly elected leader of the Conservative Party argued against Thatcher’s famous remark insisting “there is such a thing as society, it’s just not the same as the state.” His vision for a Big Society never proved a campaign hit in its own right, but helped set the tone of a party that was keen to hear many flourish within civil society and for that to drive public services. After 2010 general…

This really is the gift that keeps on giving for opponents of Labour and Corbyn’s opponents inside Labour   Shadow Cabinet far from complete… #Corbyn and Winterton still making frantic phone calls from their room in the Commons. — Darren McCaffrey (@DMcCaffreySKY) September 13, 2015 Shadow cabinet reshuffle delay because some senior figures refusing to serve if John McDonnell is shadow chancellor. https://t.co/UURjSQt5rT — Jim Pickard (@PickardJE) September 13, 2015 Seems like Corbyn's reluctance to promise to campaign for an…
