‘Is Jeremy Corbyn really a fatuous Pied Piper of Hamelin?’

• CONGRATULATIONS to reporter Calum Fraser and your editorial team.

The Tribune’s coverage of the removal of the Labour whip from Jeremy Corbyn has been both illuminating and instructive.

Corbyn’s intellectual gifts mean that he will surely rank along with Tony Benn and Michael Foot in any history of the Labour Party.

His detractors, meantime, paint him as at best a Tory party stooge perversely determined to see the election disaster of December 2019 replayed under the leadership of Sir Keir Starmer.

Is Jeremy Corbyn really a fatuous Pied Piper of Hamelin, attempting to lure an army of young and idealistic followers to yet another benighted never-never land?

I suspect, like many of your readers, I will be relying upon the Tribune to help me reach an answer in the months, now hopefully not years, ahead. So do keep up the good work, please.
