As for the warmongers in the Parliamentary Labour Party I pray Corbyn persuades them to oppose this unseemly rush to war. But that’s a forlorn hope. They will always pose an ugly threat to his authority and it would be better to have the long-awaited showdown over this, where he can claim the moral high ground, than some lesser issue later.

A lot of people are taking comfort in Jeremy Corbyn’s amazing victory in England for leader of the Labour Party as part of a leftist surge in Europe, coming to the USA. They’re right about Europe. We see it with Labour in Great Britain, Podemos in Spain, Syriza (before they folded) in Greece, and the Communists in Portugal, who stand to make enormous electoral gains on October 4.
