    As far as I know the Tories don't get to decide when Labour leaders step down.

    well all the actual evidence is that
    toastie hates immigration from non white christian countries as he refuses to discuss his immigration policies
    and is a closet tory as he constantly lobbies to keep labour out of office for 100 years.

    some some good there and some bad

    Ruggedtoast are you really prepared to destroy the Labour Party over this? How can Corbyn lead the Labour party - he can't fill his shadow cabinet? Nobody will serve under him. Even if you all elect him again - he still won't be able to fill a shadow cabinet.

    It's Over! (Whatever "it" was)

    PS Pat Glass resigned as shadow secretary an hour or two ago - she only ttok up the post Monday. Apparently this is a record HoC resignation. Farcical.

    Most of us are looking at this through the wrong end of the telescope.

    If Labour party members want Corbyn as leader that's their choice.

    I think he was and is the wrong choice but don't feel strongly enough to join the party and vote.

    But he can't fill a shadow cabinet - so how does that work?

    I hear the late Michael Foot has been offered the post, as yet no response.

    Mike from Mike and the mechanics
    A Lego fireman
    JC's goldfish Trevor

    It doesn't work.

    There will be leadership challenge. He'll probably win, the membership will have spoken and if the MP's really don't like it they'll have to resign their seats.

    It's going to be a mess.

    yey! labour are such a cluster f***

    Here we are with the country falling apart and the conservatives getting ready to tear themselves apart creating a natural vacuum for labour to step into - instead they themselves decide to fall apart.

    If they had put a moderate in charge originally they would probably well on their way to winning the next GE now.

    Thank the lord for corbyn - gives free market economics a chance
    Left is never right but I always am.

    They're not. I've never seen so united.

    I agree with the rest of your post ;)

    Pretty easy. The Blairite traitors will be deselected.

    Its what they want. Its what the members want. Its what the country wants.

    It will be a tremendous relief not to have to see the likes of Jess Phillips mouthing off every ten minutes undermining her own party and leader.

    They can all go.
