    Which will do wonders for the environment, NHS, poverty and inequality, education, the housing crisis, etc..

    Love him or, as most do, hate him, Corbyn did wonders at getting policies which are important to the fore. Dumping these in the hopes of squeezing a few votes from the ever shrinking middle and an endorsement from The Economist is not my idea of progress (nor do I think it would really lead to electoral success - you'd see a surge in votes for the Greens).
