When Adam Holland tweeted this, I felt sure he was exaggerating:
George Monbiot calls Russell Brand a refreshing change from coherence. http://t.co/ut7bUK8aEB

But no; that is precisely what George Monbiot wrote in selecting Russell Brand as one of The Guardian’s “Heroes of 2014.”
Monbiot concludes:
Brand’s openness about his flaws makes him a good leader, and allows those who admire him to be good followers. He’s the best thing that has happened to the left in years.
Poor Orwell. Will he never stop spinning?
