Theresa May calls a general election to be held in June. I wasn't expecting that.

So there is a chance that Corbyn & co might get in. I have my differences with The Corbynator, especially on the snooper's charter, but a government run by him might be marginally less worse.

On the other hand the parliamentary Labour party is populated by Blairites who hate Corbyn and are just waiting for the day that they can depose him without a massive grassroots backlash. If there's a Labour victory then Corbyn might soon be toppled and replaced by a Blair-like figure - perhaps even Blair himself could return (shudders).

One thing which Corbyn should consider is what position he's going to take ob Brexit at the election. If he makes a manifesto statement against Brexit then he could find that a lot of the mainstream media suddenly support him, because the establishment really doesn't want Brexit.
