The amount of rain and the ferocity of which it was pouring down today was nothing short in crazy . <| sep |> Labour MPs couldn ' t countenance being led by Corbyn , so they tried to torpedo his leadership . They missed Corbyn but blew up the party . Republicans tried the same with Trump after he won the primaries , but Trump did a much better job of swatting them away than Corbyn . Where Trump is shameless about saying whatever he thinks people want to hear , Corbyn sticks to the same message he ' s had all his life . On the economy , his direction could be popular , but on foreign affairsdefense , not so much . It ' s not an easy problem to fix , because most Labour MPs don ' t really believe in much beyond identity politics . People call Corbyn a left wing populist , but he ' s not really . A true left wing populist would combine left wing economics positions with patriotism , strong law and order and immigration controls . There ' s probably less than 10 Labour MPs who could pull that off , and none have the personality to be leader .
