It is very annoying the way assumptions are made about supporting Corbyn. I supported him in 2015/2016. That does not mean I unequivocally agree with every decision or action he took or even with his views on every issue. I am an adult I can support someone but have differences.

I backed Remain and disagreed on Brexit, I am a Unionist and disagree on a UI. I think getting sucked into the 2019 GE was monumentally daft. I was unimpressed by many of his support staff. He was poor on Party reform and disciplinary issues. >

But if he ran for the leadership tomorrow I would vote for him again. I am no cultist but Jeremy still earns my trust and enthusiasm. I have 2 beliefs about him: 1. He genuinely, in his soul, cares about the well being of other people, >

2. He is not discriminatory or racist in any way and cares about people of every creed colour or faith.
For me what matters in choosing a leader is their underlying ethos and personality. All sorts can arise but their core values will determine how they act. >

I still trust in Jeremy's core values and that is why despite some major differences of opinion I would still support him. He really should have hired me in 2016 to be his speechwriter! 😋
