I see this line a lot and I’m genuinely curious: “a party reshaped in the interests of a minority.”

You know Neil Kinnock had a mandate of 71 % percent of the vote in his leadership election right? So this “ and gave Corbyn the biggest mandate of any Labour leader.” is just plain wrong?

Seriously: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labour_Party_(UK)_leadership_election,_1983.

Right?
