No Jeremy Corbyn, Labour must not become UKIP-lite

From Where I Stand — Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn today attempted to attack the government's Brexit plans, but it looks as if he missed, hitting EU migrants instead.

I'm backing Jeremy Corbyn, but his message and tactics need to change fast

From Where I Stand — 'Doing politics differently’ was a key promise of Jeremy Corbyn’s remarkable victory in the heady summer of 2015. But since then he has focused on his economic message, not a vision for political change.
