NOW that Jeremy Corbyn has won the Labour leadership contest, our politics might never be the same again.

In the unpredictably volatile world of this exciting “new politics”, there is one certainty, that over the coming months and years, Corbyn will be subjected to a vicious character-assassination campaign by a deeply hostile right-wing media, that will do anything it can to stop a principled leader being elected who’ll challenge the establishment’s control of wealth and power in our society.

We need to raise awareness of this toxic phenomenon, so as to neutralise the impact of this brainwashing agenda, and so encourage voters to give Corbyn a fair chance, and make up their own minds about whether he has the kind of values, beliefs and character that they wish the leader of our country to possess.

My strong hunch is that if voters do give Jeremy Corbyn this chance, they might well be in for a very pleasant surprise.
