[QUOTE=life on mars;5253671]Think that , and not being able to apologise for Antisemitism behaviour just turned folk away I'm sure the usual defence that the media did for him will arise.

Corbyn spent most of his time as leader apologising for antisemitic behaviour - the genuine antisemitism from Labour members, the antisemitism that came from non-members that was thrown at Labour (especially by the Guardian and Margaret Hodge in her infamous dossier) and the antisemitism that wasn't antisemitism at all, but was anti-racism! He was suspended by Starmer for endorsing the EHRC findings and defending the Labour Party from lazy or vindictive smears.

The mud certainly stuck, but he failed because he wasn't an effective parliamentary leader (although outnumbered 8 - 1 in the Parliamentary Labour Party that was always a big ask), constantly refused to fight his corner and wouldn't fight dirty like everyone else, and fronted up an incoherent and stupid Brexit policy that offended everyone. Oh yes, and the media did for him as well!
