Well, the Labour membership has spoken, and it has made it clear it wants to keep Corbyn in place.

Owen Smith, to his credit, stood up to offer the party an alternative when none of the big hitters (Alan Johnson, Dan Jarvis, Margaret Hodge, Harriet Harman) had the guts to. I'm sure he'll be quietly sidelined and/or deselected for his trouble.

Now, the Labour party must get back to its actual job of being Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition. Its up to Corbyn to find a way to bring those capable MPs in the parliamentary party back in to his shadow cabinet and build a team that can work together. That's the job of a party leader, and that is what he struggles to do.
