Jeremy Corbyn set to win Labour leadership, shock poll reveals

[AtW]

" Jeremy Corbyn is ahead in the Labour leadership contest by more than 15 points, private polling by his rivals suggests.

The left-wing MP, who was a last minute entry into the contest, now looks set for victory according to a poll which will come as bitter news for his rivals Andy Burnham, Yvette Cooper and Liz Kendall.

He has also collected 40 nominations from local parties, leaving him just eight behind the favourite Mr Burnham. "

He's probably Labours best bet. The current mob are so far out of touch they have no chance and are so like the tories you might as well vote tory.

He'll move Labour back to the left and make a clear distinction between them and the Conservatives. That's largely how the SNP did so well in Scotland. A clear platform that differentiated them from the Conservatives and actually gave people a clear choice, not just a bunch of confused ideas that were not much different from anyone elses that left peolpe unclear what they were actually voting for.

Why you think returning to failed socialist policies will be Labour's "best bet" I do not know.
