So the UK's Bernie Sanders has become the new leader of the Labour Party?

That's an insult to Bernie Sanders.

The best comparison I can find is Bill De Blasio.

I think Jeremy Corbyn is more of a sane Lyndon LaRouche to be honest. Not that a sane Lyndon LaRouche is particularly easy to picture.

Considering LaRouche's defining trait is his insanity, I'm not sure what you're saying at all.

Michael Meacher, the MP for Oldham West and Royton since 1970, has died at the age of 75. He served on the frontbenches for a long time back in the day and was a noted Bennite. He also briefly ran for the leadership in 2007. RIP.

Yes, a real shame. He also appeared in the original Edge of Darkness as himself, you may be interested to know.

RIP.

The man giving the speech at the event that the daughter attends in the first episode, right?
