    Not surprising. He was sadly too divisive to be a widely-popular Labour leader, but afaik he’s well-liked by his actual constituents, and this backs that up.

      If someone being consistent with Labour’s values is too divisive to lead Labour, there can’t be Labour at all. I disagree with some of his stances, but what this man suffered wasn’t internal opposition, it was political assassination.

        As an American looking in, Corbyn has always been the face of UK’s Labour Party.

        Why was he ousted? The article says something about an antisemitism statement, but surely that’s not the whole of it.

          He was ousted because capitalists are shit scared of socialists getting anywhere near the levers of power.
