That's right, Labour didn't win this time. But Corbyn's achievement has been to shift the "Overton window" of UK politics smartly to the left. That could well make it easier for Labour to gain more purchase in the future.
Worth noting that the EU referendum campaigns have been suspended and campaigners on both sides have respected this so far. Police are reported to "refused to discuss the possible motive behind the killing", and at this stage it might be better to refer to Mr Mair as a suspect rather than an assassin. No doubt many things will come out in the trial.
There's to be no vote and fwiw I doubt if many MPs will bother to turn up, apart from the well-meaning Mr Flynn of course.
If you follow "show on a map" on the link above you'll see that a lot of the support for the petition has come from Scotland. This may be for reasons unconnected with Mr Trumps comments regarding Muslims. See for example http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-35251357. Mr Trump does seem to have an unusual talent for annoying people.
Better than an "annual report detailing the number of alleged militants and civilians killed each year" would be a report detailing the names of those killed. Given the level of precision claimed, it shouldn't be that difficult.
Not necessarily. A better model could be that health & social care needs are a function not of age but of proximity to death. On that basis while people who live longer might need the same total amount of care over the course of their lives, on average the cost per year will be lower. (Assuming their care needs are met, of course.)

Ah for the old days when war was God's way of teaching Americans geography. Maybe she's quite given it up as a hopeless task.
uk govt /= uk public on this issue, as several politicians found out when they tried to disrespect the fabulous Ms Lumley.
... except that the UK public seems to be genuinely fond of Gurkhas.
Doesn't that invite response? - Yes
.. and make Hamas responsible for Gaza casualties? - No. The Israeli government is responsible for its own actions.
