Today is Comrade Corbyn’s last appearance at Prime Minister’s Questions; well, last as Leader of Her Majesty’s Opposition that is. It seems an appropriate time to consider how he did.

First and foremost, he failed.  The primary goal for any Leader of the Opposition is transform him/herself into a Prime Minister.   Corbyn never  came close.   Even worse, the Labour campaign in the last election, for which he was responsible, resulted in the Flatulent Leader – a man more unfit to hold office than any PM in living memory – being returned with a thumping majority.  We are all living with the consequences.

That having been said, the good Comrade spoke up for many things things that needed saying, and for the most part I think he said them with sincerity and with passion.    He was a leader who never set out, nor expected, to become leader, and I am afraid it showed.   He tried to hold the governments of the Boy Leader, the Grim Leader and her spawn, the Flatulent Leader, to account; he didn’t they went from strength to strength, and even when Theresa May seemed – on more than one occasion – mortally wounded, she managed to continue in office, if not in power, to be brought down in the end by Tory dissatisfaction

But regarding the most important issue on his watch, he failed: he never gave a clear lead, never really voiced an opinion, on Brexit.  He preferred the semblance of Labour unity, such as it is, over the prosperity and international repute of the country.  In my judgement that is unforgivable.
