I liked reading this. It's hard to see love in Corbyn though.

He is partial, he is suspicious. From the very first moment his dealings with the press and PLP were laced with suspicion. Perhaps he was correct to be suspicious but he was unable to rise above it because he is a https://twitter.com/KeithKahnHarris/status/1304351748547637253
bitter and mediocre man, and because he understands his failings through an ideological lens which is often conspiracy theory. I recall his first actions, on the PLP his comments were always a smug and petty "I talk to everyone. I'm *sure* they will want to support Lab" etc.
Meanwhile he appointed Seumas Milne, Andrew Fisher, people directly from the nooks and crannies of hard left Counterfire Stalinist trotty niche groups.

His response in the Vice doc sums him up. Freedland doesn't even particularly care about Corbyn at that point, indeed his
article on generous to Corbyn! But Corbyn responds with hate - because he really does hate Freedland. He truly believes that Freedland is "utterly disgusting subliminal nastiness".

When you are full of hate you see it in other people.
Also, I've not read it but it does sound like Laura Alvarez was let loose and is a total nob. When you think of Philip May, Sarah Brown, Samantha Cameron, Miriam Durantes and Labour had this absolute crank out causing aggro while reading The Canary.
This is good.

I think he hates Jonathan Freedland though. And I think he hates Andrew Neil. You can't say Corbyn hasn't shown us who he is.
The points of self identity are good. Because Corbyn quite literally believes that there is not a racist bone in his body. Which is a preposterous thing to say.

It screams arrogance and superiority. Again, it's not love. Love would identify the common humanity in even Boris
Johnson, so that in a debate Corbyn wouldn't be left telling off Johnson for being a big racist while *in the very next breath* lying about antisemitism in Labour. Love recognises our similarities, it doesn't declare enemies.
