DOMINIC SANDBROOK: What sweet irony that Jeremy Corbyn's Bollinger Bolsheviks have been shamed by a grammar school Labour MP

Jeremy Corbyn’s cult followers, who never rest in the hunt for traitors, sceptics and heretics, have a new target this week.

Their latest candidate for a place on the bonfire is the Labour MP for Birmingham Yardley, Jess Phillips, who gave a typically outspoken interview to the Times on Saturday.

Ms Phillips’s ideological treachery took many forms, from dressing up in designer clothes for the photographer to mocking the hard Left’s infantile tribalism.

The Left, she noted, is dominated by rich, privately educated hypocrites. Mr Corbyn and his friends, she explained, were ‘not exactly dockers … They don’t understand what real people’s lives are like.

They have dinner parties and hang out with other people who don’t have to worry about which school their children go to, because if they can’t get into a good school, they’ll pay for it.

‘They’ve never had to scrabble down the side of the sofa to find money to put petrol in the car.’

Not surprisingly, the Corbynistas went berserk, piling on to social media to denounce Ms Phillips as a class traitor because her mother rose through the ranks to a senior position at the NHS.

But, of course, everything she said was perfectly true. The Corbyn movement is nothing if not a movement of rich public schoolboys.
