1,2,3,4) Take these four...

So farewell then Labour
You were my friend for 30 years
With Foot and Kinnock, Smith and Wilson
But all things end. #Lab16

11) One person has even suggested a brilliant new method of voting.

If we all wish hard enough then Corbyn will win in 2020. That's how politics works. Not all that nonsense with, you know, polling. #Lab16
