I think they also realise that any of the alteratives to Corbyn, that have stuck their heads above the parapet, are even bigger voter turn offs being more left wing and more pro EU.

Almost anyone would be better than Corbyn. Even if they're pro-EU they would at least have the Remainers covered - Corbyn has alienated both. John Curtice has pointed out Labour might do better targetting remainers anyway since the UKIP vote seems to be moving back to the Tories.

Ideally, for them, would be someone who isn't bogged down by the question. Accepts it's happening but challenges the government on the terms etc.

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle

Jeremy Corbyn has claimed Labour is in "good heart" despite losing a safe seat to the Tories, in an area held by the party since 1935.

Talk about denial! The man must be mental.

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle

Where are all those Corbyn fans who'd jump savagely to his defence like demented Rottweilers not that long ago? Maybe they're celebrating all the success their man Corbyn's delivering...

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle

So Corbyn's going to stay on to 'finish the job' and 'turn back the tide'...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-39093981

Finish the job of destroying his party I presume. He's sounding increasingly like King Cnut.

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle

Some ministers have urged her to call a snap poll in the wake of her historic by-election victory in Labour-held Copeland.

But the PM has told aides she wants to exploit the party leader’s weakness by “slowly turning the screw” from now to 2020.

Tory strategists believe she can snatch up to 70 seats from Labour at the next general election – banishing them from power for decades.

A senior source said: “Theresa scented blood after Thursday’s stunning success – now she wants to go in for the kill.

“She’s resisting temptation to call an election now and is going for a slow death.

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle

Unless the SNP imploded in Scotland, Labour would have a hard task regaining power even if Corbyn was a credible leader which he'll never be. May's right, she doesn't need to do anything whilst he and his supporters continue in denial.

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle

23,000 majority. Very safe seat. The Liberal Democrats might eat into the majority a bit but I don't think Westminster will be waiting with baited breath for this one.
