He also worked extremely hard for his local constituency for the vast majority of his political career. 30 odd years of backbenching hardly sounds like a career opportunist
Then why do they want rid of him in the first vote since he lost the Labour whip?
He's a career oppositionist, all he's ever cared about is leading a protest movement and only engaging with people whom already agree with him. He handed the keys to No.10 to the two worst Tory PMs in history, May then Johnson. All whilst cheering about "winning the argument". Cause that makes a difference in people's lives doesn't it Jeremy. Whenever he appears on mainstream TV and has his positions and past allegiences challenged by adept interviewers, without fail he loses his rag and resorts to petutalance. Quite simply he's a joke of a political leader, with evidence being born out of the fact he can't even retain his constituency without the party's help.
Yes he's a more fundamentally decent human being that most of the Tory mob we've been subjected too over the last 14 years. However, that doesn't mean he isn't a ridiculous figure with his supporters actual rivalling Trump's in terms of sheer lunacy to defend him at all costs, and ignore readily available facts about his record.
