Of course they’re not, but the figures are still very impressive and it’s no surprise whatsoever to see Corbyn favoured over Starmer. The Prime Minister personifies why there is a gaping hole, which the Greens came closest to filling, among left of centre parties and I’m pretty sure that what I’ll call traditional Labour voters will consider voting for the new party.

Getting the name right (or left) is not easy!

Saw this earlier. More evidence that the BBC is just 4-5 days behind CCMB

I think they're missing a trick if they don't name themselves The Radical Left Party.
