Greater Than Attlee

Chris Williamson has been ridiculed for suggesting that Jeremy Corbyn would be an even greater Prime Minister than Clement Attlee was. What, however, is wrong with that?

Attlee's wars tend to be ignored. But in fact they were rather squalid, and he made the first ever cuts to the Welfare State for the sake of the Warfare State. He was the best Labour Prime Minister so far, by a mile. But only so far.
