Been asking this on facebook and am still wondering:

Is the Guardian actively anti-Corbyn, or is it just trying to wind people up/thrill advertisers with anti-Corbyn clickbait? This whole scene is starting to interest me. Been reading another Corbyn Is Political Death article – this one perpetrated by someone called Kezia Dugdale. I am interested to know if anybody at the Guardian genuinely thinks that Kezia’s opinion counts. Kezia appears to be associated with Scottish Labour and even seems to want to lead it. Both of these things mean that oblivion will soon be hers and both those things make me think that her contribution to public discussion ought to rate even behind mine. To be fair, members of Scottish Labour can probably speak about roads to nowhere with some authority… but wanting the leadership? I feel inclined to take the long view of party members who actively covet the wheel of their own hearse. I can’t be the only one.

Anyway. I’ll tell you why the thought of a Corbyn win intrigues me. Mainly, it’s because the prospect of that Corbyn win is so obviously doing establishment heads in. That part is a major victory in itself and certainly reason to continue reading panicky establishment articles. I do have something more constructive, though. I like to think that for however long Corbyn lasts before the Tories or his own party rub him out, he’ll front up to PMQs with difficult questions for Cameron about the realities of social security cuts. I also like to think that he’ll rattle his own hopeless party with difficult questions about the realities of social security cuts. And…that’s about it. The truth is that the solutions to austerity won’t come from inside parliament, no matter who leads Labour. A few people could make things a little less easy for austerity’s perpetrators, though. It’s not much, but it’s better than the five-eighths of fuck-all we’ve had from Labour to date.
