Unfit to lead Labour

ANY competent Opposition leader could have made a strong case that MPs should have been consulted before we attacked Syria. But not Jeremy Corbyn.

After days of posturing, he sent his party home early when Parliament finally had its say on Monday, letting the Government win a symbolic vote by 314 to 36.

And so feeble was his performance yesterday, when he demanded another vote, that only 205 of his 259 MPs backed him. This was just the prelude to a debate in which Labour members launched blistering attacks on his failure to tackle anti-Semitism. How long must we wait for an Opposition leader worthy of respect?
