You know, when Blair fought claws and teeth to prevent Corbin, I thought he would be an ideal candidate. New labour is just Tory light, as far as I am concerned.
Well, I stand corrected. Not on the new labour part but Corbin actually moving something. Other than in the wrong direction. Speaking as an outsider, so a caveat included.
Corb's biggest contribution to international relations to date has been to appear on RT and the Iranian state propaganda news channels extolling the virtues of Putin and the Ayatollahs (I'm not even making that up). Progressive for sure.
