Some interesting language in a Guardian piece on Tory leadership posturing:
I thought the whole point of Corbyn is that any Tory leader could win against him?
Heh, snap.
Muted recognition that any pick other than Boris leaves, effectively, Corbyn as being the highest profile politician in England, also that he might benefit from that once the whistle sounds for a new election campaign.
But don't worry, they are so convinced of his uselessness they will overreach again, they will misjudge the situation haplessly and Corbyn will come through it granite-like and emboldened. One of his unexplored and unappreciated strengths is his ability to repel any sort of smear or personal attack. This is one of the reasons he deserves admiration, regardless of his myriad failings.
You can tell from the dispatch box May can't bring herself to hate Corbyn, she sits there in a weird complexion, alienated by his politics but not by him as a human being. This is unlike Cameron who genuinely despised him and, I think vice versa.
Inevitably a campaign shines a light on the humanity of the politicians involved. Corbyn is destined to pass that with flying colours. May's entire job is to justify injustice. She can't do this and come across as human.
