Also, the deputy leadership race will garner far more attention this time, whereas in 2015 all focus was on the main leadership. You want someone with their own ideas, but who’s also supportive (though not unequivocally uncritical) of the leadership, not an obsessive wrecker.

Regardless, it’ll be more interesting, more democratic, and healthier than both the Tory race last year, and the 2007 Labour coronation. I was a student working the Green Room for one of the hustings on the latter & watching Brown on stage did nothing for my opinion of the party.

Utterly bizarre definition of Corbyn. Jacob Rees-Mogg is upper middle class.
