He certainly has the same views.

I think the main difference is Corbyn is an excellent campaigner but so far a poor leader of a political party. We've seen the before when he turns it on for leadership elections before going AWOL during normal day-to-day politics.

It could be the same dynamic occurs again. Or he and the party could see the advantage they now have and restructure. He gets more big-hitters from the backbenchers to join the shadow cabinet, listens to their advice, they accommodate a lot of his domestic policy platform and go from there.

I still think the Tories would do better in another election if they changed leader, had a better campaign and manifesto and were generally more inclusive than May deciding half the country were sneering remoaning saboteurs and sticking two fingers up at them.
