When Jeremy Corbyn arrived in Llandudno on the Labour leadership campaign trail some 500 people spilled out of the doors of a hotel ballroom in seaside town of just 20,000. Corbynmania had gripped the country and he was elected with the largest mandate ever won by a party leader, though no previous Labour leader had been elected with so little support from its own MPs.

Corbyn’s PMQs leaked, claims his top adviser
By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor Seumas Milne, Corbyn’s communications chief, believes that their PMQs preparations are being leaked internally. During a documentary for Vice News, where they followed Corbyn for eight weeks, Milne mentioned the “annoying” leaks.

Have We Been Tricked Into Thinking Milk Is Good For Us?
By Elena Orde, Editor of The Vegan It's safe to say that World Milk Day (1 June) just hasn't caught on. Despite the efforts of the dairy industry, it seems few people are interested in milk-themed festivities. This is just as it should be - far from being a cause for celebration, milk is bad news for our health, for cows, and for the environment.
