Corbyn’s celebrity supporters aren’t just wrong; they’re wrong for the wrong reasons

The thing about Jeremy Corbyn’s supporters is they’d be funny if they weren’t so pathetic. Or is it the other way round? I can never remember. Last night something called the #JC4PM Tour rolled in to Edinburgh. Featuring the likes of Jeremy Hardy, Mark Steel, Charlotte Church and sundry other artists who are not necessarily household names in even their own households, this was supposed, I think, to be a Red Wedge for our times. But since they only sold 350 or so tickets for a 2,000 seat theatre it was more of a Red Splinter.

Obviously I did not attend myself. But Buzzfeed’s estimable Jamie Ross did sacrifice his evening for the greater glory of the revolution and, in the tradition of old media spongeing off new media, his excellent report forms the basis of this analysis.

I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking that a Labour rally in Scotland two months before the Scottish parliamentary elections would focus attention and fire upon Labour’s enemy in Scotland.
