SKWAWKBOX view:
Throughout Corbyn’s tenure as Labour leader, his critics fearlessly argued against their own conclusions – as long as it allowed them to keep criticising.
The same will happen to the next Labour leader, whoever that is – and perhaps even worse if they threaten to challenge the Establishment as he did.
Labour supporters need urgently to work out ways to combat it and to build communication channels both on the ground and online to have any chance of bringing the real change so desperately needed by the poor and vulnerable of this country.
