Shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry told Sky News earlier today that voters in Copeland had been taken in by false news reporting and that claims of Jeremy Corbyn being anti-nuclear are "fake news".

I agree with that. It's the Labour MPs that have made Corbyn have that low of an approval rating.

Yeah it's got nothing at all to do with Corbyn being a useless sack gooseberry fool that people don't want to vote for.

What's he done to be considered "a useless sack [of] gooseberry fool"?

I personally don't care how popular or unpopular he is; I hope he's leader at the next GE so I can see his party manifesto, the thing that really matters.

That said, I get a lot of people vote on GEs like it's a popularity contest.

Miliband, you know that 'Blairite' guy who was so terrible and out of touch with ordinary people, held Stoke. Corbyn lost it. Make of that what you will.

Corbyn held stoke.

Would be better if joint income were the criteria rather than individual income though.

Disability benefits should go to "really disabled people" not those "taking pills at home, who suffer from anxiety", a key Theresa May aide says.

No 10 policy unit head George Freeman said personal independence payments (PIP) reforms were needed to roll back the "bizarre" decisions of tribunals.

Mr Freeman, who is Conservative MP for Mid Norfolk and leads the Downing Street policy board, had been defending the changes in an interview on Pienaar's Politics on BBC 5 Live.

"These tweaks are actually about rolling back some bizarre decisions by tribunals that now mean benefits are being given to people who are taking pills at home, who suffer from anxiety," he said.

"We want to make sure we get the money to the really disabled people who need it."

He added that he and the prime minister "totally" understood anxiety. "We've set out in the mental health strategy how seriously we take it," he added.
