Jeremy Corbyn would consider women-only rail carriages
He might be very left wing, but that doesn't make this a very good idea. The British Labour party really is in an appalling mess.

Labour leadership contender Jeremy Corbyn has said he would consider women-only rail carriages to help stem a rise in assaults on public transport.
Mr Corbyn says he will consult women on the suggestion.
Conservative women's minister Nicky Morgan said she was "uncomfortable" with the idea, which she said sounded like "segregation".
And Mr Corbyn's Labour leadership rival Yvette Cooper said it would be "turning the clock back not tackling the problem".
