Would it not be prudent for the Church Commissioners to do their sums now so that when that democratic day dawns, it will not be such a shock for them? Well, what can one say about that other than, ‘O, Jeremy Corbyn!’? For it was indeed the then maverick Labour backbencher who made those remarks during Church Commissioners’ questions in the House of Commons.
