"He was the Tories choice of candidate."
Utter nonsense
The Tory press - Telegraph, Mail and Times in particular,launched a vitriolic attack on him unprecedented since Punch's 'Irishman as ape' Cartoons - it was vicious and personal, even by their gutter standards .
When they say they he was going to lose, they adopted a face-saving ploy, claiming that it would be to their benefit as he would destroy the Labour Party
Whatever of their lines you accept, Corbyn as Nightmare on Elm Street's "Freddie" or the call to infiltrate - both from the Tory press, it shows just what a shitty undemocratic lot they are and what a squalid mess British politics has become.
Corbyn has landslid into leadership, %60 of the overall vote, %40 more than his nearest rival.
So much for the right-wing arsewipe press campaign.
