Fair enough. But at least he was trying to engage with the IRA, unlike our pathetic Tory government of the 1980s who did it all through back channels.
It's notable that the links you've posted are to articles from right-wing media, the very ones looking to discredit him since day one. I'm not saying he is the right man to lead Labour, but he is definitely where Labour should be politically, ie on the left, rather than the Tory-lite version we ended up with under Blair and Miliband, and where the parliamentary party want to take them by getting rid of Corbyn.
I just think the whole thing stinks, and doesn't motivate me to engage fully in our politics when a leader elected by an overwhelming majority of party members is under threat from a handful of MPs.
It's ridiculous that his challenger is someone who nobody has ever heard of, and telling that none of the big names in the party (Chukka Umunna or Hilary Benn for instance) are nowhere to be seen, but many of them are quite happy to put the boot in. Unfortunately, the electorate sent a very clear message to the Labour party at the last election, especially in Scotland and Wales, but they don't seem to be listening to it.
Desperate times for Labour, and the country as a whole, as without an effective opposition as mentioned elsewhere, the Tories have free rein and will win the next election with ease, and a far more substantial majority you would think.
