Lies of the Labour leadership contest 1: It's not about policy

The first in an occasional series


Lie 1:

This isn't about policy, it's about Corbyn's inability to perform in parliament, win the electorate, or unify the Party.

Bollocks because:

Are we supposed to believe that if a standardly charismatic, uniformly popular socialist were leading the Labour Party right now, the likes of Chuka Umana and Margaret Hodge would be getting on with supporting them and advocating their policies? Is it a coincidence that the MPs who non-confidenced Corbyn are generally those who voted for benefit cuts and, where relevant, the Iraq war? This is political through and through.
