Labour Leadership Contest

[Mycroft]

Well, the result wil be announced today. its expected to be Corbyn. I'm sceptical where Labour will go from here but will try to keep an open mind.

Here's Owen Jones take on it. He's Pro-Corbyn, but is remarkably candid assessment of what they'd have to over-come.(I still think it's a bit on the optimistic side, but I'll have to watch this space).

I don't like Owen Jones that much. I find myself constantly wondering when he'll interview someone who isn't white and middle-class.

I don't like him either. he reminds me of the newbie stage of being in the left when change looks like it could be easy and instant. I have nothing against him, but its a little embarrassing.

I think that Corbyn represents a much needed change for the Labour party which has been largely indistinguishable from the Tories in terms of their general behaviour for many years.
