Corbyn's situation instantly reminds me of Macmillan's Night of the Long Knives. In a fit of panic, he sacked one third of his shadow cabinet and isn't very likely to surivive.

Of course Macmillan had a badass staches.

I don't think Blair thinks he lied. He just allowed his hero complex and the crowds of wowing thanks from Kosovans and Sierra Leonians get to his head - very much a tragic hero.

It was probably easy for him to believe. He was certainly out of his head at this point, and Americans played him just like they wanted.

It's sad, but doesn't make him less guilty in my eyes. Results matters.

Why is the Labour Party so keen on shooting itself in the feet?
