Be interested to know how this photograph came to end up with the Sun. As to the actual event then yes, Corbyn is an elected member of Parliament and as such you should expect better from him but even so, it is the story behind how the Sun got this scoop that is the interesting one. Who does this benefit? Who stands to gain? The leak is story here, not some silly dinner party with a couple of extra faces. "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." - 1984 - George Orwell.

There is no suggestion the photo was taken other than by a guest Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

Or if they did not, somebody came into its possession and leaked it themselves. If it was just financial, then that is life. But who gains from this? As others have said, Corybn is yesterdays man. For me the only person to gain from this is Starmer. He is fighting a battle within his own party with the Corbynite left and must be jumping for joy to see this picture. As I have admitted, when it comes to politics I am an unashamed Geek and perhaps sometimes try to look for meaning and nuance when there is none but nothing in politics happens in a vaccum. Part of me feels sorry for Corbyn. Looks like a complete stitch up. "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.

But isn't it amazing that the wartime generation of children who were evacuated away from their family and friends, who had their education disrupted over 6 years and suffered the hardships of wartime and rationing, went on to be the generation that drove this country forward in terms of technology, medicine, science et al? Now we have students crying because they've been locked in for 3 days and the toilet paper's running out! A stairway to Heaven and a Highway to Hell give some indication of expected traffic numbers

Lets not be too harsh on Jeremy after all the didn't plan the numbers that was Diane Abbott . He has apologised (not grovelling as the Sun said) it wasn't his party he was a guest so I say move on nothing to see here. The picture was obviously taken by a guest and they probably posted it on social media without thinking. As for Boris' dad if he has flouted the rules fine him. One more point

Eating out is so much fun now it is banned by the regime. It feels exciting like you are plotting a revolution and you get your name in the media for just having a meal with friends.
