I'm not sure buffoon describes Mr Corbyn. What he appears to lack is much in the way of a sense of humour or lightness of touch. He seems to be be a deeply serious man. A buffoon by definition has the element of a clown about him, not something you could accuse him of, certainly not in the literal sense.
I feel a little sorry for him - he appears to be seriously out of this depth and ended up in the job almost by accident but perhaps time will prove me wrong
