Rumour has it John McDonnell is off to Davos for the World Economic Forum. His office do not deny. Comrade McDonnell will be rubbing shoulders with the plutocrats, billionaires and corporate CEOs – perhaps he’ll even swing invitations to their summer yachts. He’s going for the many, not the view…

UPDATE: McDonnell confirms he is going to Davos.
