SINCE the May elections in Venezuela and the overwhelming victory for the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), the slew of articles attacking Jeremy Corbyn and the Morning Star via Venezuela have died down somewhat. 

Hopefully the last of this tired genre seems to be a recent piece by Tommy Walters in the liberal-hipster outlet Vice.

In this particular piece, Walters takes aim at a recent event by the Venezuela Solidarity Campaign and the Morning Star’s election observer report, mostly interpreting what happened in a way I and other attendees wouldn't recognise.
