Calm down people!
Lets face it, there was always going to be a leadership challenge. I'm quite confident which ever way it goes Corbyn will still at the helm!
He is the only one to bring about new politics and deliver real change for those who have suffered for so long!
Let there be a challenge, I'm sure the members will vote exactly the same way again... Myself included! I'm seeing a lot of people who previously hated him, saying "hes alright actually"!
Just a shame so many old school labour folk still read and follow what the sun, express, mail say about him!
In Jezza we trust!
I'm outta here before the torrent of blue labour and tories destroy my post!
Lots of Love from a socialist, leftie *******, Hippie tree hugging nut job (apparently)
PS - To note (unless he's resigned in the past few hours) Andy Burnham, got a lot of time for that guy not taking the opportunity to **** on Jezza, if he holds his ground and Jezza does get ousted then he's 100% getting my vote next!

Not wanting to stand on a platform with DC? I wish he'd grow up a little. Lets remember that the the future of the UK in Europe and the Union is at stake here. This isn't the time for petty personal politics.

What you mean like that time Labour shared a stage with tory in Scotland which later wiped out Scottish Labour..
Thanks.... But no thanks. As True Labour supporter, No, just no.... He did not need to share a platform with DC. It would have achieved nothing other than painting Labour in a bad light

That would be a relatively small price to pay to avoid our current position.
Regardless, he was ineffective because he was campaigning for a side he clearly didn't believe in. We needed people who passionately believed in the cause and we clearly didn't get that.

As others have suggested maybe the best thing it to split the party as how ever much anyone wants Corbyn to unite the party it won't happen as they have too wide a range of ideologies.
I suggest the two parties should be called 'The Real Labour Party' and 'The Tory-Lite Party'.
I say that as someone who never even considered voting Labour until recently let along put my X in their box.

I'm a big remain supporter! But JC went against what he believed in and has all his life not hidden his discontent for the EU. However he put the party first, and "campaigned" to remain!
For that I respect him!
Either way, he is someone I want to see as PM. The last time we had a left wing government the NHS was formed, welfare established, unemployement at an all time low, 100,000s of new council houses be built!
But... As expected, the media, the tory government pumped out propaganda after propaganda, smear after smear and has imo has poisoned long time labour supporters against!
Just look at Jo Cox's death, the guy had been brain washed to shift his hatrid toward left wing Politian's with statements from the PM like "The labour party is now a real thread to national security".
The whole country has been absolutely brain washed!
Absolutely
RED TORY !
RED LABOUR!
I didnt' want it, but to be honest, if means JC will still be leading ..... Bring it.

JC's half-arsed attempt was nothing more than placating the parliamentary labour party. He had no choice. What would labour have had stood for if he campaigned for leave? He did his job begrudgingly and had a poor result because of it.

Whilst the media and Tory's were no fan of JC and didn't do him any favours (perhaps rather unfairly) he also proved that he was fit for the job. He's too left wing to command the leadership of MPs - he may be what you want, but he's not what labour needs - or what the country needs.

Lets be fair tho.... Brexit wasn't what a lot of MP's wanted, but the electorate voted for it!
PRehaps they should do the same with the vote from labour members!
If he is ousted i'l pull my membership and shift to the greens in protest. I still think Andy Burnham will re-emerge as labour leader..... Failing that, David Milliband!
As for Hilary Benn, never will I give him my vote! There is only so far your father can take you....
