Examples

“Two accounts of Corbynism – by journalists Gabriel Pogrund and Patrick Maguire and the Guardian’s Owen Jones – unpick Labour’s rapid descent from the optimism of ‘Oh, Jeremy Corbyn’ to landslide defeat at the polls[.]”

“Corbynism was as hopeful as it was hopeless. From his 2015 leadership election victory to the following general election, it offered a screen on to which people, tired of both technocratic and insipid New Labour wannabies and austerity, projected their hopes and fears. People queued round the block to hear him speak and then voted for him in droves.”
