    They are shit fucking scared of the new left wing party Corbyn is building and this is a pre-emptive reaction to it. They know it’s coming within the next 12 months.

    If you thought the media was insane last time Corbyn was a threat it’s going to get absolutely wild.

        Common Jezza W. I always thought it was a little insulting when people said he was Britain’s Bernie. Sanders would never.

            I consider Corbyn pretty principled, even if the focus on electoralism seems a bit idealist. He’s called Maduro a good friend and called to his radio show, he’s been vocal in his support for Palestine for decades and opposes NATO.

        Reportedly, rumour, gossip, grapevine, super secret except everyone seems to know about it and he doesn’t deny it.

        The rumour says it’s coming “definitely in the next 12 months” because it’ll need local election results in the next one if it’s going to have any results for legitimacy going into the next national election to fight Reform. The only window is now.
