Jeremy Corbyn has not "marvelously weathered the storm of betrayals and right-wing plots". For one thing the leadership election is going to be an ongoing issue for a while, and it is very possible that he could lose as he has not performed well as labour leader. Even if he does win then the chances are that we could see another SDP style split, only larger and even more damaging than the "gang of four" running off to the Liberals was back in the 80's.

He's shown himself to be incapable of running Labour. He is not popular in the real world outside of his own following of creepy cultists. His performance in the EU referendum was very poor. And the reason why most of his shadow cabinet walked out on him was not due to his being too left wing but due to his mismanagement of the party.
