End of an error

There can be few politicians in the post war era who have excited so much comment and yet achieved so very little that is either worthwhile or noteworthy than Jeremy Bernard Corbyn.

Today, Mr Corbyn attends his final Shadow Cabinet meeting. No doubt there will be plenty of farewell cards from his adoring colleagues. Hopefully, there will be more than few resignation letters too. As a collective group, they have been spectacularly poor at stemming the advance of the reactionary right. The only two who can reasonably hold their heads up are Jon Ashworth and Keir Starmer. Even those two, hamstrung as they were by the rules of collective responsibility, have singularly failed to score a telling blow on the Conservatives.
