Calling it 'the long march':
BBC bias associating Corbyn with Chairman Mao, along the lines of that newsnight image?
Or a reference to Mcdonnel Waving the little red book around, and therefore a justified reference?

Yeah I thought the same and meant to go back and check the titles of some of the other profile programs.
Although I think it's more the idea of spring boarding to success from defeat, and then obviously a cheeky pun on his left wing views.
I'm never sure whether folks over react a bit to the communist comparisons. Obviously the News Night debacle is a different matter given the underlying story content.
I re-read some coverage of the McDonnel red book thing, and there was comment by a politician saying they didn't think it was funny to joke about someone who caused x million deaths. Whereas I actually thought it was quite witty.
