Global conditions are ripe for facism to thrive - we must endure it doesn't get a toe-hold.

Why? Because it will allow Corbyn to cling on. The latest national poll (YouGov) shows Con 40%, Lab 24% - the worst Labour rating for 35 years. At the next GE, with Corbyn as leader, Labour will be wiped out - down to 130-140 MPs, possibly less. The Labour party is in terminal decline.
