There's not much work doing for a strategist when he's just watching car crashes all day. <br /><br /> I'm firmly in the Corbyn camp in that Labour almost had no choice - they have to reach perdition and this guy's a purgative with the most expedient effect - Burnham & Cooper would have been the ICT assistants keeping the induced comatose party on life support even though it was a vegetable whereas Corbyn, well, he's like Dr Kevorkian ready with his bucket.

Agree the power will probably go to his head though. They're talking about a Tobin tax again which is an interesting idea and he wants access to the Treasury models to assess his proposals.
