Anybody see any similarities with the old Soviet politburo? “acts of disloyalty”? Corbyn appears to have lost track of where he resides. I'll bet he wishes he could have these “disloyal” people taken out and shot. He is, of course, incompetent. Buoyed up by his election, he forgot that he spent years “rebelling”. He forgot that there are groups more powerful than labour party activists. There's the parliamentary labour party and the voters. He has no “charisma”, no claim to “loyalty”. Unlike CFK, he can't spread his legs and give someone what they want. He'll be gone before long!
