jeremy corbyn is probably not going to become prime minister.but to my mind it was like one of the rare epic successes of actual left movement to articulate their idea, to have them heard under duress. he was under fire even as we are pointing out, even from "the guardian" which waged a war against them. what he managed to do there is incredible because it was an enormous f. you to tone up margaret thatcher. thatcher who bragged about how one of her greatest achievements during her time was providing the space for new labour to rise. and in europe, which was a public of our bill clinton air into united states where he co-opted a republican agenda on domestic policy and to the commit very belligerent, hawkish figure on foreign policy. this isn't at the moment of summerlike jeremy corbyn taking control, i do know if he's in control, but official being at the head of the labor party. and yet there is this war against him from even "the guardian." >> i think corbyn is a faceted phenomena. is only been in a position for a few weeks so one doesn't wan

jeremy corbyn. >> thank you, mr. speaker. recognizes the decisions to send british forces to war are the most serious, solemn, and morally challenging of any that we have to take as members of parliament. the motion brought before the house today by the government authorizing military action in syria against isil faced us with exactly that decision. it is one with potentially far-reaching consequences for us all here in britain as well as the people of syria and the wider middle east. for all members, taking a decision of what british -- putting british servicemen and women in harm's way honest inevitably lead to the deaths of innocents is a heavy responsibility. it must be treated with the utmost seriousness and respect given to those who make a different judgment about the right course of action to take. which is why the prime minister's attempt to brown nose a vote against the government as terrorist sympathizers, both demeans the office of the prime minister and, i believe, undermines the seriousness of the liberations we
