Quote:
British Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn does not need to be nominated by his lawmakers to run in a leadership contest triggered by a challenge from one of his colleagues, a judge ruled on Thursday.
Labour is locked in a bitter internal fight over its future and Corbyn, whose lawmakers have overwhelmingly backed a vote of no confidence in him, is campaigning to keep the job he was elected to last year with the strong grassroots support.
A decision by the party's National Executive Committee (NEC) this month that Corbyn could automatically be on the ballot paper for the contest without having to seek nominations from lawmakers had been challenged in court by Labour donor Michael Foster.

So Jezza stays as leader then. We can enjoy the spectator sport of watching Labour continue to self destruct. Maybe from the ashes a new opposition grouping will rise but it looks like Tory's will be in power for a very long time.
