Only Nellist was really a left wing rebel though. Taverne was of course proto SDP, Milne it was at least partially about local / council issues, and if I recall rightly, Davies was deselected because of his age (and the local party sort of had the last laugh in that he passed away within a year and Labour comfortably regained the seat in the resulting by-election). Only Nellist really fits the Corbyn template And Nellist was of course a member of another party, whereas Corbyn was 'associated' with Labour Briefing but apparently did not inhale.

I knew Nellist quite well. Apparently he lost his job in the Coventry car industry for 'political reasons'. In reality, he was sacked for bad timekeeping. He then reverted to being a full-time Militant apparatchik as well as running discos.
I don't see much connection between Corbyn and Nellist. Corbyn would not have lasted 5 minutes in the rigidly controlled Militant environment. Nellist, by contrast, revelled in it.

Notional results since 1945.

Christian is a member of Islington N CLP. He is pretty elderly to be starting a parliamentary career, having been as I understand it born the same year as Jeremy Corbyn. In fact, were he to be selected & then win the seat, I'm quite sure he would be comfortably the oldest first-time MP ever.
