Labour members want Corbyn even if he can't win

"Politics is a highly tribal business" - Nick Clegg

Is the key to politics to stick by your principles or to win at all costs? For members of the Labour party the former appears to be true. Today we report on a YouGov poll for the Election Data website which found that fewer than half of all Labour members believe Jeremy Corbyn can win the next general election but most still want him to remain as leader. 

Next up, just how good are us Brits at predicting the future? Well, it turns out, not that bad. From the general election results to the rugby world cup, our second piece today looks at how the public's 2014 predictions stacked up with what actually happened in 2015. 

We all know there is a huge housing problem, politicians acknowledge it but little ever seems to be done to truly tackle the situation. Our final piece highlights the plight of those at the sharp end of the crisis and looks at how some are taking matters into their own hands.
