As much as I dislike (politically) Corbyn it's not really his fault they've lost Scotland. What happened last week was only a continuation of what happened last year, it's hard to place a finger on exactly what happened but the SNP has successfully managed to tap into an anti-establishment feeling and directed that at Westminster. Not that Westminster has helped itself with a sometimes shocking degree of complacency. Meanwhile the Tories have managed to position themselves well against the SNP by backing the Union whilst Labour dither trying to out-flank the SNP on the left and trying to be ambiguous on independence.

As for Corbyn I am not sure if he is an agenda or not. He is either a honest politician in the wrong place or if he has a very clear plan to stuff the hierarchy of Labour with allies before stepping down having successfully taken control of the party on behalf of the SWP lot.
