    Labour aren't spineless—they're complicit. Outside of that very small window where Jezza was "in charge" (read: the donors fucked up, and fixed it shortly thereafter), Labour in our living memory has never been anything but Dollar Store Democrats with smart boy accents.

      I was thinking of Miliband, really. Got the same treatment as Corbyn but it never reached a crescendo because he caved.

      And Labour in general, of course. Since Thatcher, at least, they always end up defaulting to this please-Murdoch-at-any-cost nonsense. Not that they were great before Thatcher (1945-51 excepted) but the media was much less extreme back then.
