Headline writers these days seem to barely read the article before writing the headline, that seems to be a common flaw in many articles these days. Perhaps it's due to cutbacks in staff and a need to grab click-throughs on the internet.

I think there's still a lot of left-wing idealists in the Labour Party hankering after Jeremy Corbyn which is the reason they joined. Membership figures may be healthy but it's votes at the elections that matter most.
