So let me get this straight: Ken Livingstone has been appointed as joint chair of Labour's defence

review based on no expertise beyond the fact that he opposes Trident, causing yet more policy confusion and open infighting. The current chair of the defence review and shadow defence secretary was not consulted about this.

Shadow defence minister Kevan Jones then complained publicly about this, at which point Ken Livingstone decided it would be funny to counter with a slur about the man's publicly-acknowledged clinical depression.

Livingstone then refuses to apologise for this in interviews, only doing so later via twitter. He then follows this up by saying he only did so because he was told to by Corbyn and then basically distances himself from his own 'apology', bizarrely calling Kevan Jones 'Jeremy' several times in the process.

And still nobody knows what Labour's policy on Trident actually is.

I am honestly struggling to find words to describe Labour at the moment, but 'omnishambles' and 'clusterf**k' are certainly right up there.

Labour are not going to be electable for decades

Andrew Neil: “Given Labour’s response to the issue of national security and Syria, do you have confidence in Jeremy Corbyn?”

John Mann: “I have total confidence in Hilary Benn.”

Andrew Neil: “So you have confidence in your foreign affairs
spokesman Hilary Benn, but not in your leader Jeremy Corbyn?”

John Mann: “Jeremy has confidence in Hilary as well.”

Andrew Neil: “But you can’t bring yourself to say you have confidence in Jeremy Corbyn.”

John Mann: “I have huge confidence in Jeremy allowing Hilary to lead on Syria.”

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

man up. The strategy is clearly to keep Corbyn in office for as long as possible, while every day he strips Labour of thousands more voters
