We're wrong on Corbyn.

Corbyn.

The Corbynator.

Mr. Knitted Jumper.

The man we brand as such a huge threat to national security that we need every last living person to vote Conservative to keep him out of power...

I don't buy it.

Don't get me wrong. Corbyn should be kept as far away from number 10 as possible. He is an unrepentant Socialist with an unrepentant communist as his Shadow Chancellor (AKA the only man worse then Ed Ball's for the job) and a parliamentary party which is in actual revolt over his policies after less then 6 months in the role.

During the election we went to great lengths to paint Ed Milliband as a joke. A man who would go into a room with Putin and five minutes later Putin would come out smiling with the husk of Miliband left behind him. Yet when Labour elected a man who wears knitted jumpers and looks to be frail enough that a stiff wind would break him then we suddenly start shaking our fists and calling him a threat to national security.

 He isn't dangerous, he's a doddery old grandad that keeps talking about the old days when he had big muscles and a motorbike while the grandkids nod along politely and play on their phones. Since the election ended we have enjoyed a huge lead in opinion polls and we even look set to become the opposition in Scotland next year.

The Corbyn recovery seems to have ended before it even began. Yes his own army of supporters back him but with popular and well known Labour backers against him and ComRes giving us an 11% lead and most other polls predicting us ahead by comfortable margins Corbyn can hardly claim the red revolution is taking hold. In fact it's so bad even Miliband is getting in cheeky digs at the comrade.

So do I think we need to keep Jeremy Corbyn out of power?

But do I think Jeremy Corbyn is a threat?

Mr. Knitted Jumper is not a threat and we need to stop treating him like one or people may start to wonder if maybe we're doing it because we're scared of something he has to offer. After all it was once said that if Ed Miliband managed not to soil himself in a debate then he was defying expectations of him and to my knowledge he managed to stave off that particular fumble at least.

My point is, we need to treat Corbyn less like a Terminator and more like the man in Morrison's talking about the price of fish going up from when he was a boy - something irritating but, to quote the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, Mostly Harmless.
