Long Bailey: Corbyn is a 10 out of 10 Labour leader

Jeremy Corbyn is a two-time election loser who condemned his party to a dismal defeat at the hands of Boris Johnson last month. So how would those vying to replace Corbyn rate his time at the top? Asked to give a mark out of ten, Rebecca Long Bailey had this to say:

‘I thought Jeremy was one of the most honest, kind, principled politicians that I ever met…I’d give him ten out of ten because I respect him and I supported him all the way through.’

Mr S wonders what Corbyn’s score would have been had he actually succeeded in winning an election…
