I just came across this great little Paul Krugman piece in the New York Times, where he argues that Corbyn’s election was inevitable as he was the only candidate opposed to the narrative of austerity. Krugman points out that the idea that austerity is necessary or vital is essentially a lie everyone, including all our media, has bought, but which the facts don’t actually support. At last someone – Corbyn – is standing up to it. The question is, why it took so long, and why are others so ready to swallow tory lies.
