Political Times: James Bloodworth gives his take on Jeremy Corbyn's election as Labour leader
Left Food Forward editor-in-chief James Bloodworth joins IBTimes UK for a special edition of this week's Political Times. Bloodworth gives his thoughts on Jeremy Corbyn's victory after the left-winger secured 59.5% of the ballot in the first round of Labour leadership contest and almost a quarter of million votes, giving the socialist a solid democratic mandate.
The new leader is now selecting his first shadow cabinet, with Andy Burnham moving to shadow home secretary and fellow left-winger John McDonnell being appointed as Labour's new shadow chancellor. The IBTimes UK columnist shares his opinions on the new frontbench line-up ahead of Corbyn's debut battle with David Cameron at Prime Minister's Questions on 16 September.
