Very happy to hear that the Labour Party will no longer be whipping MPs to vote in favour of Gay Marriage. Apparently 3 shadow cabinet members threatened to resign if the vote was whipped!

Can think of a couple of shadow frontbenchers who might have though.

Which ones did you have in mind?

FFS, Oxbridge aren't toff institutions, you clearly either have no idea about them or you've got a massive chip on your shoulder about not having gone to them. I never even applied to them, and am objectively of the working class,  but I have little but admiration for those institutions. Two class friends have offers for Oxford and they are the most hardworking grounded lads I know.

LOL Only a Tory would contest what is demonstrably true. Your two friends may go toward the 11/12% of working class students attending there - not the 88-89% middle-class to upper.

You sound as if you are envious of others who don't lack the intellectual capacity to get into those universities.

Kudos to Elaine Smith for voting in the appropriate manner considering the make-up of her constituency and probably also her CLP.

Paul Goggins, the Labour MP for Wythenshawe in Manchester since 1997, has died at the age of 60. He collapsed while out running a week ago.

Very sad.

You probably didn't even know who he was. Leave.
