Carry On Corbyn
Jeremy Corbyn's leadership of the Labour Party came under further scrutiny at Prime Minister's Questions (PMQs) yesterday after David Cameron ridiculed the party's decision to readmit someone who defends the Islamic State and refuses to condemn the murderous attacks on 9/11.
The Independent reports on yet another embarrassing episode for the Labour leader although, if you ask me, the real scandal is that the private views of Jeremy Corbyn and his official spokesperson, Seamas Milne, are not that far removed from the chap that Labour have now excluded from party membership for a second time.

A hard-left Labour supporter who said attacks like 9/11 should never be “condemned” has been expelled from the party, officials have said.
The comments by Gerry Downing, who had been kicked out last year for publicly supporting another party but then readmitted, were raised by David Cameron during Prime Minister’s Questions earlier on Wednesday.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn did not immediately respond but his aides later said the decision to allow Mr Downing back into the party was being reconsidered.
