So I've just seen two surprising sources backing Corbyn today:
First is a group of 150 economists:

Yes, yes, experts, pseudo-science, yadda yadda. Bite me.
And the other, maybe with a little more skin in the game quite literally is the Kurdish volunteer fighters the YPG:

who say:
"Only Jeremy Corbyn knows the way to stop Isis - through a foreign policy that cuts off their funding and supplies at the source.
Only he has been outspoken in his condemnation of the oppression of Kurds in the Middle East at this crucial time, with the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces about to defeat Isis in their capital of Raqqa.
The longer Theresa May is Prime Minister, the less safe everybody is, both here in Syria and back home in the UK."
Now, they are very much at the pointy end of all this, so i'm quite interested to hear their views on things. Interesting that they feel so strongly about it that they will publicly come out and back a specific candidate in an election on the other side of the world.
