You can't really fault him for his campaigning.It's what he's good at.He picked the right place for an echo chamber for sure.His revolution rhetoric is exciting for many.He probably will inspire more to vote with stuff like this.
You've gotta admire his determination.
Politics is on the move to the left now after the Tories have been inflicting their policies on us for the last seven years.It's how it goes.Politics is a pendulum.I think Labour will get into power possibly at next election or if not definitely the one after and we may have them for a decade or so and then the country will swing right again,then left again.

I think the spin is very clever and whoever is advising him are doing a much better job than those advising May. However the thing I find disturbing is the fevered adoration in some quarters for team Corbyn, people don't seem to recognise spin for what it is. I'd like to see a strong potential labour government but it's not going to come via Corbyn hero worship.

You could say that for any party though with the spin.They're all at it.Mays "strong and stable" indoctrination tactics were'nt any better.It's what politicians do.

Yes of course they all spin. The worry is when people buy into the spin so much that there is an element of hero worship. This happened with Blair, at one point he could do no wrong, and look how that turned out.
