One of ConHome's sock-puppet accounts (PeterBeater) revealed I'm an annoyance, I quote: "CH is fed up with your continual pro-Corbyn trolling and repetition of nonsense...".

The "pro-Corbyn" accusation is rather odd.

It's apparent criticism of the articles isn't tolerated here.

Whatever ConHome is paying you "Peter", it's far too much.

I've been censored, yet again...

Only "approved" speech is permitted here, evidently.

I only pointed out the government has less than 75 hours to respond to a High Court order, issued Mr Justice Warby, or Christmas is canceled.

Remainers are now being censored on ConHome.

That's all you need to know.

In reality, Corbyn's performance was second only to Nicola Sturgeon in the number of pro-Remain public meetings held and speeches made. Corbyn presided over a Labour Party vote totaling 65% (only 3% behind the LibDems) for Remain.

Cameron's campaign was "lacklustre", he only managed to convince 39% of the Conservative Party to vote with him to Remain in the EU.

I'm still not sure why you're crediting Corbyn for Brexit?

You're right about the New Labour "career" politicians. In the near future I expect many will be deselected.

It's apparent you haven't thought this through.

There's a reason why you can buy a house for £35,000 in Northumberland.

If your opinion is indicative of Conservative "reasoning" on the issue of affordable housing, then Corbyn has already won.

This is precisely why Corbyn is succeeding despite of himself.

Conservative "opinion makers" are ignoring economic reality entirely. They're inventing new stories to please the dwindling base of support. We used to have an apt word for them, "liars". This word appears to have fallen out of fashion, sadly.

Young people just look at people like Mr. Ruff and shake their heads.

The only solution to the housing problem is massive state intervention. Even Javid recognized this fact when he was Minister for Housing. Unfortunately, this government is hamstrung by market ideology. What ever happened to conservative pragmatism?

We haven't "fixed the economy".

We've created a low wage, low productivity economy, in which the state subsidizes employers. The Unemployment figures are ostensibly low because the taxpayer is picking up the tab for the "wealth creators".

In order to fix the housing problem we first need to be honest with ourselves about the position we're in.
