New Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn attracted nearly universal opposition from national newspaper leader columns and has failed to win many friends in the media since his victory.

Left winger Corbyn won the Labour party election on 12 September getting almost 60 per cent of more than 400,000 votes cast.

Two days before Corbyn became leader of the Labour party Paul Connew wrote in The Drum: “Well, even as someone hostile to Jeremy Corbyn’s run for leader, I have to admit his treatment by the Mail, Sun, Telegraph, Times and Express and their Sunday sisters has been as savage as anything dished out to Ed Miliband.”
