Our comrades in Red and Black Leeds take a look at Jeremy Corbyn’s victory in the Labour Party leadership race.

Many on the left are talking up Jeremy Corbyn’s attempt to become leader. This piece argues that we shouldn’t be taken in by yet another entry in the long line of ‘new hopes of the left’.
