      I am not a trustee, I have not attacked the Left, and my opposition to Corbyn date to when he challenged for leader (almost four years ago). So, entirely characteristically, you are pretty much wrong on everything.

      Jo - I have no issue with you opposing Corbyn back then. He was a leap in the dark. But haven't you at least been surprised by his effect on Labour: transforming its membership, resources, ability to mobilise - and most of all, its electoral power?

      I think he's turned a Party that would have crushed this shambles of a Government into one that could well itself be crushed when the Remain votes that went to it in 2017 desert it. But I also think he is a populist with little to offer in policy terms. And a dangerous ideologue.

      When would that party have 'crushed' this government? You do realise that party was bankrupt and looked stuffed from all directions after the 2015 election? And that it then increased its share of the vote by more than at any time since 1945? Also - what is 'dangerous' about him?

      What is more dangerous than slaughtering Iraqis, which the kind of people you'd prefer led Labour did but Corbyn opposed? What is more dangerous than Windrush, which happened because all bar a handful of MPs (Corbyn among them) let the immigration bill through?

      And what is more dangerous than Yvette Cooper - many people's idea of who'd be leading a 'normal' (read: watered down) Labour helping mastermind the Work Capability Assessment and Atos? You'll surely know how many people have died as a result?

      Dangerous? It's our government that's dangerous: lethally so to countless numbers. Corbyn's not dangerous. He's right.

      As you're a seriously smart chap, you also know as well as I do that FPTP leaves Labour caught between a rock and a hard place on Brexit. You keep talking about the Remainers they'll lose (no sign of it yet) - but the working class Leavers who Corbyn won back? What about them?

      When someone who was right about most important issues of our age - Iraq and austerity - is never more at home than among normal, ordinary people, and spends his spare time tending to his allotment and making jam is described as 'dangerous', we are through the looking glass.

      You say that like they're positions not then held by millions or tens of millions. I wrote about how austerity was an ideological choice. I opposed the war on Iraq.

      That's kinda the point. These views ARE held by tens of millions — but are hugely underrepresented in Parliament and in the PLP. One of the reasons Corbyn won two leadership elections is that no other candidate for the position shared these views, which tens of millions hold.
