    Does anyone want to join me in a fun* game? I'm trying to find an article on the Canary that's critical of Jeremy Corbyn. * not fun

        OK, it's been 12 pages. I give up. Here is my favourite piece, mostly because of the "serial killer yearbook" filterpic.twitter.com/LoxeZCAcjF

        check this one out - it's probably the most unfunny thing on the entire internet:http://www.thecanary.co/2016/04/29/david-cameron-striking-doctors-are-all-anti-semites-video/ …

        Yes, it does! The article is set up to make you think it will criticise Corbyn, but then - BOOM - it turns out he is right ...

        The first thing you quote certainly doesn't contradict the headline. The second thing mitigates it, but doesn't contradict it.

        I just don't see how you can read that article as critical of Corbyn…

        How about finding a positive one in New Statesman? I'll play ;-)

        That will be a nice short game, because we publish a range of opinion on Labour.

        I'm amused you think I don't have a decent grasp of what's on the NS website. But anyway, how about this? http://www.newstatesman.com/politics/staggers/2016/05/jeremy-corbyn-has-defied-odds-and-embarrassed-his-critics …

        I did exactly this when I wrote my big piece on the Canary and can confirm there is not a single one.

        I don't understand that piece. The 1988 Labour leader election did actually happen in a bid to unseat Kinnock.

        Yes. Also Corbyn only says he doesn't want an "immediate" leadership election. He wanted a wider debate.
