I suspect one of the developments we shall soon see is the decline of online actism on behalf of Jeremy Corbyn. Not only will he no longer be driving stories as he continues his long good bye to the Labour leadership, but the strange ecology he built up around him will also face pressures.
This could be quite bloody in the case of Sqwawkbox, which recently lost a libel case against Anna Turley, the former Redcar MP. That follows a promised investigation into it over antisemitism allegations. I wonder whether it will have the financial resources to survive if the expenses and damages are upheld. The same goes for other Corbyn outriders. Although as I understand it, UNITE have chosen to pay for everything with its members money. How exactly does that help its members?
