!Right Honourable anymore

I should have asked about this in my "what would you like me to ask CMD in PMQs?" email from jezza yesterday...

Oh well next time maybe...

All this bollocks by the right wing press about Corbyn 'snubbing' the Queen in regards to the Privy council, they're running scared. Maybe they should mention their friends who also did exactly the same:

• Iain Duncan Smith, then newly-elected leader of his party now work and pensions secretary (19 September 2001)
• Michael Fallon, former minister for business and enterprise now defence secretary, and justice minister Damien Green (10 September 2002)
• David Lidington, minister for Europe, who "apparently had better things to do than show up and kiss hands" (15 December 2010)
• Sir John Randall, deputy chief-whip (9 June and 21 July 2010)
• Chris Grayling, Grant Shapps, Nick Herbert and Theresa Villiers, ministers for work & pensions, communities, justice, and transport, respectively (9 June 2010)
• And...David Cameron...When the Witney MP became leader himself in 2005, he also "snubbed" the Queen by not accepting his first invitation to a Privy Council meeting.

You don't really see anything beyond the binary do you. His actions are part of his anti britishness whereas clearly most of the Tories you mention were probably to busy doing something more important like partying in Pimlico rather than wanting to make a political point.

I'm amazed and utterly appalled at how many people support him and his ideology. They are all either very stupid or very anti-british!

Nothing a good horse-whipping can't fix I'm sure...

Why is it ok for Cameron to refer to Corbyn as his friend, but not for Corbyn to refer to Hezbollah as friends?

If Corbyn is a friend of Cameron, and Hezbollah a friend of Corbyn, does it mean that Hezbollah a friend of Cameron?

He's not really been stripped of the title if he wasn't awarded it in the first place. But then again, 'website updated' isn't much of a headline.

This. It's a trivial, and very boring, matter of protocol.

When Cameron became Leader of the Opposition in 2005, he didn't bother going along to join the Privy Council for over three months. I don't remember the Press describing that as a snub

Yes, but he'd already joined the Piggy Council whilst in Uni ...

All this media hounding of Corbyn seems to be last resort tactics of Tories and the corporate that support Tories to somehow stop Corbyn assuming power. Its obvious they are running scared of his popularity and his genuine politics. Its very exciting and I cannot wait for the next elections.

Same here. They really do appear genuinely in quite a flap over him.

They are slightly caught out by him. If they ignore him or encourage him in the hope that labour will implode and it backfires there will be hell to pay. Instead the Tories are simply treating him for what he is - a British hating socialist from a bygone era. I very much doubt they are at all worried about him as they now have the centre of the political spectrum all to themselves.

Of course if UKIP were to get rid of farage and put a working class brit loving socialist in charge things might be different.This is the one thing that is holding back UKIP from true electoral success - nicktyrone.com
