An enjoyably punchy headline above Jeremy Warner’s Telegraph piece today:

Cue Corbynistas boarding the outrage bus and demanding an apology. Warner stood his ground:

Getting lots of abuse for using the term "nutjob" about new shadow Chancellor. Not sure why anyone would think it derogatory of mentally ill

Lots of offence about my use of "nutjob". Mental illness didn't even cross my mind. U have to a bit sensitive to think that's what I meant

Eventually, the Telegraph bottled it and gave in. This is their updated – much more PC – headline:

OK, OK, I apologise to all those who found it offensive. Obviously it was if so many found it so.

A victory for the loony left…
