People think they are seeing it in the Leader of Her Majesty’s Opposition, Jeremy Corbyn; but they are only seeing its wraith. I mean the hard revolutionary left, which was Christopher’s [Hitchens] proper home. To belong there you needed three characteristics: a) fire, b) dogmatism, and c) humourlessness. Corbyn hardly had any a), but he had b), and he had c) in sumptuous profusion. Hitchens, on the other hand, had plenty of a) and quite enough b), but no c) whatever.
