He's developed a level of smugness that doesn't fit with the persona he's trying to project, at all, and therefore I can only imagine that most of what he says on any subject needs to be taken with a pinch of salt.

See,I've gone the other way.
A staunch Labour supporter because I want more and better social justice.
So my right wing days are gone,especially with this truly awful uncompromising lot in govt now.
However, I was not an advocate of Corbyn,I felt it a mistake electing hin leader and I feared for the party.
However over time I have come round to him more.
He has brought policies back to Labour which firstly no one thought any leader would dare.
However again,as I found canvassing in June,people like the policies,they want them too.
While still holding reservations on Corbyn myself and indeed as do the people I talked to in June.
One thing came across more,people who even have reservations on Corbyn,do believe he believes in the policies he advocates.
They,and indeed I do too,really believe he would deliver those policies.
It amazed me the large and it seems ever growing number if the younger new voters, who want his policies too.
So I think the wishful thinking Corbyn is going to go away is going to now lead to disappointment to said people.
With over half a million membership and Labour so strong on the ground now and the Cons estimated to be at least under 100,000 membership,possibly more like only 80,000.
Corbyn has in his way,helped polarise politics again between the 2 parties again.
The choice is vastly different,his is the vision it seems the newer generation of voters want and they are ever growing now too.
So it's sad for me to see you pull back TS,as your past arguments especially on the cruelty and wrongs of this govt,all unchanged and still there,we're in my view strong and valid ones.
However this is democracy,I turned my back on the Cons, due to the endless heartless policies.
Equally you have altered your position now.
For me however,it's about fair and just policies,social justice and reaching out.
None of which I see in this PM governnents policies.
Which seem created to bring down further, those already down anyway and to keep them there.
Under the daft electoral system we have,there can only be a CON led govt or a LAB led govt.
I know,regardless of leader,which one I prefer and think the Country needs too now.
