New Statesman says Corbyn unfit to be Prime Minister

The Daily Mail reports:

Labour‘s bible, the New Statesman magazine, has refused to endorse Jeremy Corbyn at the general election as it branded him ‘unfit to be prime minister’. 

The left-wing publication has been required reading for the Labour Party for decades but today it published an election editorial in which it declined to support Mr Corbyn’s bid for power. 

It said the Labour leader’s ‘reluctance to apologise’ for his handling of the party’s anti-Semitism crisis and his approach to Brexit meant he should not be put into Number 10.

The magazine’s devastating leader column represents a massive blow to Mr Corbyn’s hopes of reinvigorating Labour’s ailing election campaign with December 12 now just eight days away.

To have the leading magazine of the left call the Labour leader unfit to be PM is unheard of. The exact quote is:

But the essential judgement that must be made is on Mr Corbyn himself. His reluctance to apologise for the anti-Semitism in Labour and to take a stance on Brexit, the biggest issue facing the country, make him unfit to be prime minister.

Ouch.
