Is rotten, childish, self centered, inward looking, detached completely from the wider public and the vast reservoir of working class and middle class supporters whom it has abandoned, hooked on trivia and infighting and immune to the issues which bedevil people’s lives. It hates Corbyn because he speaks for the multitude against them. It is determined to get rid of him.
In the few months he has been in office, Corbyn, without any help from the PLP, has changed the political conversation, thwarted one after another of the Tory government’s muddled legislative adventures, pulled the whole of the centre to the left and increased Labour’s vote share and grand total in every single election, local and national, fought on his watch. He is also by far and away the best known politician in the country, now eclipsing even Boris.
But the PLP want to replace him with Owen Smith.
Who?
