Should Jeremy Corbyn Stay or Go?Repeatedly I hear that Jeremy is not a leader. What does this mean? He shows all the leadership qualities that I was taught throughout my professional life. He engages with people, he listens to what they have to say, he explains the reasons for his thinking and the actions he wants to take. He fills those he is set to lead with enthusiasm, as demonstrated by the number of people who have joined the Labour Party since his nomination as a candidate for the leadership. He has been consistently belittled by the press and the media but he has borne it all with dignity. What more do we want in a leader? Glib sound bites, expensive suits and designer accessories, Brylcream, weasel words and duplicity? Labour has been more successful, dynamic and inspiring since in the past year than any other politician in my lifetime. Is he really not a leader?
