Speaker: A Disorderly Brexit, in reply to Rich of Observationz,
So the NEC has voted to allow Corbyn to stand in the leadership election.
Reported though, after a couple of pro-Corbyn committee members had left at the end of the meeting, the committee then held a surprise vote on a off agenda item of setting a 6 month stand-down for new members of Labour to be able to vote- So no-one who has joined the party since February can vote.
As people in a union will be able to vote in the contest if they join before August 8th, apparently union membership signup sites have been collapsing under the strain.

And with the U.K. Parliamentary Labour Party challenge now on, it boils down to if Corbyn will be allowed on the ballot, and if new members of the party are going to be allowed to vote.

Speaker: The Government you Deserve, in reply to Rich Lock,
For want of the voters the referendum was lost…..
Except turnout was pretty good
That not much of a relationship slope line- you can draw a horizontal line through the uncertainty area.
The trend line for Remain voters being less capable of putting a cross in a box is much stronger https://thoughtfulbloke.wordpress.com/2016/06/28/when-i-said-stupid-people-shouldnt-vote-i-didnt-mean-me/

Lunchtime today

Angela Eagle is saying she is going to run for Leader, this is going to place the Chilcot Report in the campaign period. Which is probably healthy for Labour in the long run as it lets everyone express their opinion (assuming people accept the result of this campaign).
