What is so wonderfully encouraging about the result of this election is
that even a relentless campaign by all the powerful mainstream media as
well as by individuals in all parties, including his own, to undermine
Corbyn in every possible way did not succeed - on the contrary, it
backfired and brought him new supporters.
What's more, it demonstrates
that a politician doesn't have to insult opponents, flash charisma or
spout robotic slogans in order to be a credible leader. No, Corbyn is not Prime Minister but even those who were scoffing, snorting, huffing and puffing at the very thought of it are now saying it's possible and filling column inches with reversals of what they were asserting so confidently only a little while ago.
Here is a summing-up of this election with the inimitable humour of John Crace.
