The very liberal and firmly pro-Democratic but also very globo-interventionist and Zionist Boston Globe finds Corbyn "worrisome"

The Labour Party’s worrisome leftward lunch

Corbyn’s stands include such outmoded ideas as nationalizing the UK’s railroads and energy companies, imposing a maximum wage on private-sector salaries, and the widespread reimposition of rent control. 

Some prominent Labour MPs are already upset about his refusal to rule out joining the campaign to pull Britain out of the European Union.

On foreign policy, Corbyn has called for unilateral nuclear disarmament for Britain, is against air strikes targeting ISIS, and supports a ban on the sale of weapons to Israel. 

He has talked of having Britain leave NATO, though more recently has called for a rethinking of NATO’s mission. 

He labeled the killing, rather than trial, of Osama bin Laden “a tragedy.”

. . . . 

If Labour is to regain the central role it played from 1994 to 2010, it won’t be under Corbyn. 

Rather, it will take a different leader, a modern-day Blair, to reverse the ideological excess that now holds sway. 

That’s probably at least one general election loss away, but the sooner it happens, the better.
