Competent followers

One of the most fascinating and revealing aspects of Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership qualities is that he doesn’t have any. He could neither organise nor inspire the proverbial piss up in a brewery.

However, his followers are competent enough to keep the circus going. They put him there and maintain the leadership facade which keeps him in place. Yet there is no leadership – the old coot isn’t up to it.

There are wider lessons to be learned here, but that's the trivia out of the way. Now what about possible names for the latest royal baby?

I think the royal baby should have a name that is topical, so in later years people will reflect on the grown-up prince's name, and remember what inspired and preoccupied our great nation in these times. It should be a sonorous and grand name, yet unusual enough to be remembered. I think he should be called Windrush Betrayal Shames Tories But Labour Are Antisemites Windsor.

Sam - good choice, but I feel Brexit should be in there somewhere.
