In an article entitled “UK Labour leadership election: Anti-austerity & anti-war MP Jeremy Corbyn wins landslide victory” and carried by RT, the publication quotes Neil Clark, a British journalist and writer, who says that:
“What this campaign showed is a massive disconnect between the establishment elite who told us Corbyn couldn't win. First they tried to make fun of him, they’ve done it all the way through, they attacked him, it was a terrible smear campaign that went for the last two or three months, trying to link him to extremist people, and it all backfired because he won nearly 60 percent of the vote.”
He summarizes that:
“The Labour party members have spoken. They overwhelmingly – 60 percent — want Jeremy Corbyn to lead the party and take it a very different direction to what Tony Blair wanted them to go which was support for more illegal wars, more austerity, more privatization.”
Dr. Roslyn Fuller, International Law lecturer and author(studio guest) and Martin Bentham, Home Affairs Editor at the London Evening Standard newspaper join us to share their views.
