I described Jeremy as a "regressive radical" in The Lure of Greatness, back in 2017. His rise released a tremendously positive movement of radical and socialist thinking and inspired people with a sense of change. But he was not serious, in the way you have to be, as a candidate for Prime Minister (putting off decisions, not attending meetings) and he refused to commit Labour to PR, the most fundamental and popular democratic reform, when he had the chance.
