    He is the eternal bogeyman, perfect to frighten centre right labour members back in line.

      To be fair, Corbyn has made himself look a right stupid wanker these last few weeks. He’s the gift that keeps on giving, and constantly proves why Starmer will probably win a dirty landslide

        He’s not exactly the devil and not exactly the perfect angelic vision that each side makes him out to be.

          I like his national, social policies. I don’t like his foreign policy.

          Despite it affecting far less of the country, his foreign policy is what got him lambasted in the media.

        As an American, I always watched Corbyn from afar thinking of him as your version of Bernie Sanders. Sanders has disappointed of late as well with his refusal to call for a ceasefire and his less than nuanced blind support of Israel’s bombardment of civilians. So… I guess Corbyn’s unwillingness to call Hamas a terrorist org feels very similar.
