If you think the Conservatives are at each other's throats, how would you describe Labour's problems under Corbyn, then?

He could never form a government because nobody would want to serve in his Cabinet!

The arguments taking place from factions in the government are magnified because TM has no majority in the Commons. This gives every Conservative much more power to get their way because every vote counts. We saw the same thing in the Callaghan government in the 1970s.

Sorry, but the argument that the government is in chaos really doesn't wash. If it was we'd never have got through Phase I of the Brexit negotiations, would we?
