With strong support from trade union members and youthful activists Comrade Corbyn could win the Labour leadership contest convincingly. Jeremy Corbyn still has plenty of momentum. His opponents are divided and in disarray compared with his straight talking gospel and clarity. He is clearly the front runner with over fifty per cent of the estimated current vote. JC is seen as a messiah to those who dislike the so called Westminster bubble. Will Comrade Corbyn be able to bring his brand of socialism successfully to the country? I doubt it.

Jeremy Corbyn seems to have retained his appeal to Labour Party members through his sincerity, clarity and above all his integrity. I admire his desire for justice and greater social equality. His support for and defence of the Reverend Stephen Sizer, a scholarly opponent of Christian Zionism who has been unjustly smeared, endears him to me.

Diane Abbott now supports Jeremy, which worries some supporters as she is a tremendous recruitment agent for JC's opponents, those on the Labour right. When DA opens her mouth on certain subjects she manages to alienate the undecided and the floating voter. Diane has absolutely no chance of being Mayor of London in 2016. Tonight, on Channel 4 News, her position on Syria and the drone attacks will send folk to the right. She is a gift to the Tories!
And Jeremy Corbyn did win the leadership contest. He won it convincingly on the first ballot. With JC as leader of the Opposition, it makes political life in the UK very interesting. We are moving into uncharted territory. Jeremy does have real appeal to those who are sick of the Westminster bubble elite and the line of Oxford educated smoothies who have run the country but have had such little impact on dealing with the "grotesque" inequality, the food bank poverty and the urban/rural deprivation in today's UK.
