Is Owen Jones the youngest looking thirty-four year old ever?

Him being so important to the left is why I can't get past it. What about Corbyn's replacement? Should somehow another like him be elected and they have as much opposition is he just going to jump again? I don't want him permanently incriminated and I really like his interviews but still the first thing I think of when I see him is that he jumped.

@thatscottishguy There are plenty of other leftist writers now and Corbynism has meant the left had a bigger (if still underrepresented) place in the media. There are plenty of good bloggers and podcasts too

OJ is significant because he is a big Guardian columnist and because he was a Corbynista before Corbyn. Before the Corbyn project happened, I'd read both his books, all his articlesand regularly defended him on social media. His voice was especially key at the time because these were otherwise real wilderness years for the UK left.

He's still young but if he disappeared there would be others to replace him. He's not my favourite jouno anymore but I still like him and I'm glad he's around.

There's others but how many have his level of platform. You say others can replace him but whether or not they get the opportunity is the question. It's all very well having articles that you, me and others like us see but then it's preaching to the converted for the most part. Are you confident that the guardian would just pluck another good young lefty journo if Jones jumped permanently? He had an audience and he told them the rest of the media is right about Corbyn.
