I certainly remember seeing Corbyn on Channel 4's The Last Leg 2/3 weeks before the referendum and it did come across like he really wanted to talk about anything else as he wasn't that fussed about the Brexit campaign. But then that was consistent - throughout that shitshow, the Remain campaign didn't do enough to convince people it should win, and often acted like it was a foregone conclusion it would win when, as we obviously now know, it wasn't.

Corbyns focus was middle East politics and nuclear weapons. Fine as a backbench MP but not the main priorities of the electorate. Then again I don't think he ever wanted to be PM.

After this conference it seems pretty clear to me that Labour are a party ready for government again.

Indeed. The decisive action means it won’t become a big story. Johnson should’ve learnt this.

Europe suspects Russia apparently. Swedish seismologists are saying they detected an explosion the equivalent of 100kg of dynamite. To put the leak in context the little black circle in the middle of the swirl is 200 metres apparently.

Since I first realised that weather event names go alphabetically and use alternate genders I have waited patiently for literally decades for Hurricane Ian. 

I hope it does well. 

C’mon IAN!!!!

This is a super good day
