poliphiloBritish politics just changed- profoundly.
Corbyn, c'est moi. I can't think- offhand- of anything he stands for that I don't stand for too.
Labour is now genuinely a party of the left. I hope that the Blairites in the parliamentary party will accordingly adjust their views or fuck off out of it. The result- an overwhelming victory for Corbyn- should have convinced them that no-one loves them any more.
As for the Tories, they are going to have to adjust to being attacked from a position that is securely left-wing and moral. They're not used to this and it'll be "interesting" to see how they cope.
The right-wing media are going to be merciless and unfair and unkind in their opposition to Corbyn. Grit your teeth, folks, the Mail is set to become even mailier...
