If anyone wants an effective opposition, they're not going to get it with a clown like Corbyn running the Labour show. He's a relic of the past and a very poor leader who'd bring this country to its knees. What's required is for Labour to split, leave Corbyn and his loony left cronies to count their votes from the rose tinted brigade and those who're serious about creating a new, more representative, party to get off their bums and do it. If Smith is the best Labour can do to challenge Corbyn the Tories are going to be well and truly delighted.

Like or loathe them, when you compare the heavyweights Labour used to have within their ranks to today's bunch the extent to which the party has deteriorated is quite obvious.
