Look at the eyes. If you can bear it, look into the eyes.
Supposedly the window to the soul, this is what eyes look like when there is no soul, just a gaping void of internal misery and doubt held precariously together by the cloying paste of greed and privilege...

I know I'll take flak for this, but the principle - if not the execution - is sound. Modular reactors can enable the decarbonisation of parts of the economy that are otherwise hard to reach. But tying their development to the US? That's less sound. www.theguardian.com/business/202...
UK and US line up string of deals to build modular nuclear reactors in Britain
Agreements include plan to build 12 reactors in Hartlepool with Centrica, creating 2,500 jobs, and fast-tracking UK and US safety checks

I think this is a genuine problem that needs to be addressed if we're going to offer effective opposition to the behemoth before us.

Jeremy Corbyn has always been a moderate Social Democrat, like the current leaders in Norway, Spain and Mexico.
He has never been a Che Guevara style revolutionary.
This is what is on offer, no matter whatever ridiculous nonsense you hear being put forward.
