tangerino exactly. I find him very far from being "hard left"; there's a lot of woolly warm and vague rhetoric about liking unions, the NHS and workers' rights, but a total vacuum on policy that affects most people's lives. There is literally no policy work going on in his team, no vision, no awareness of the challenges that young people face today, no interest in women's equality, children's lives, education, the future, international affairs - zero.
In my area (SE) all the local party Corbynites are, literally without exception, baby boomers and pensioners, many of whom very well off indeed and who are quite open about their buy to lets and investment income and so on. Corbyn makes a lot of pleasing noises they like, because it's a kind of leftwing virtue signalling, but they are quite happy with Labour in opposition because their interests are actually pretty well served under the Tories. A real left-wing party would be telling those people they need to make some hard choices - if they want a well-funded NHS and progressive social policy then their housing and pension assets are going to have to be taxed, and they are going to have to give up some of their own benefits in order that families, young workers, children, disabled people, get some fairer treatment. Corbyn has literally no interest or willingness in thinking about the economic and structural future of the country - he's still fixated on the politics of 30 years ago.
Plus, the red line for me was both his and McDonnell's views on legalising prostitution. No, my kind of feminism doesn't accept that there can ever be any form of "civilised" prostitution, as Corbyn claims; and I won't pay membership fees to a party whose leader thinks women's bodies are just another form of commodity to be traded in a "civilised" way. It's as neoliberal a position as any Tory.
