Corbyn is welcome to have anyone as an advisor...even CFK. When it comes to vote in the next election he can stand on his principles and fail miserably.
Jealous of the UK?

Well, it won't be Corbyn at any rate.

It's ok, I understand you are just here to provoke us with insults.

Varoufakis denies the story:
Mar 03rd, 2016 - 05:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0”I was never asked (nor would have I accepted if asked) to be an advisor to Jeremy Corbyn or his team. As a full time politician, and initiator of DiEM25 ( Democracy In Europe Movement) it is not my job to advise other politicians. Engaging with parties and organisations across Europe is another matter. It is in this “capacity” that I am involved in Britain with Jeremy Corbyn, his Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell, and also politicians from other political parties, including Caroline Lucas (Greens) and my good friend Norman Lamont (Conservative).”
