The next Labour leader thread

Does he have the support from the membership though? A lot of people were saying he wasn't connecting enough when he was campaigning to remain in the EU.

Which was connecting.
As labour voters didnt want to stay.
They made this very clear in their voting.
They wanted to leave, so half hearted corbyn was much more in touch that gravy train chukka and his retoric.

Labour will muck about, tear away at each other, causing more uncertainty for the country, rather than wait, like they should for the cons to muck ut all up over the next eighteen months, the change leader rally, and win well in 2020.

Instead they will arse around now instead of doing the smart thing, but out statements of unity, talk regarding the good of the nation coming first, and all that dross.
 
Kuenssberg reporting 'half' of the shadow cabinet is going to quit for force Corbyn out.

He really is a self righteous dick.

Asthana has been told by source -

"If the shadow cabinet don’t resign now then they will have no place to hide when parliament returns tomorrow"
 
Hillary Benn sacked, Heidi Alexander steps down. Just as marc2003 said I'm sure more will follow as ministers finish their breakfast.

Has the time time come for Labour to split into two? Social Liberal Democrats sallowing up what's left of the Lib Dems and Socialist Democrats?

Gives the 2 to 1 split of 2015 labour voters.

It's probably worth noting though that 29% of labour voters from 2015 wouldn't vote labour now according to internal party polling.

Poll doesnt make sense, c2 and de voted to leave, yet labour voters voted to stay. Makes no sense, unless all labour voters who were previously labour have said they are now ukip and voting leave.
No sense at all.
 
From Corbyn's front office

"There will be no resignation of democratically elected leader with huge mandate from members"



And a membership vote now would see him elect him again...?
 
Paul Waugh ‏@paulwaugh 6m6 minutes ago

Lab MPs believe that Angela Eagle, Maria Eagle, Andy Burnham, Chris Bryant all set to follow Alexander and quit today.


I would be extremely surprised if Burnham left today.

The membership probably would, but the PLP wouldn't put him on the ballot through charity nominations a second time. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if no hard left candidate got on as they have always been a token gesture on the part of the mps.
 
Hillary got what was coming, he is out of touch if he thinks for a second that there is an appetite for a coup among the wider membership at this time. It's doomed to failure even if they manage to pass a vote of no confidence, because Corbyn still has the overwhelming support of the members. Trying to overthrow him now just cements the media narrative that brexit was our fault, when in reality Labour supporters voted remain 2:1.

Where did you get the 2:1 statistic from?

Makes sense to me

Labour urged their supporters to remain and 63% did.

Cameron urged his supporters to remain and only 37% did.

How is that a failure of the labour leadership?

I think the disappointment for Labour was the loss of support to ukip which they hoped to reconnect with and didn't. I think that may be where it is seen that Corbyn failed.
