More United?

14. Well then, why are Corbyn supporters repeatedly ignoring his calls to not act like twerps?

it says something when even a dedicated leftie like Owen Jones is getting it in the neck for daring to voice some construtive critisism like this?

Also, there has been far more focus on policy from Owen Smith, but I fear that people aren't listening no matter what he says. He can call for the railways to be renationalised and the Trade Union Act to be repealed endlessly and all he will be met with is a chorus of YOU RED TORY NEOLIBERAL BASTARD. Smith's platform is one that would have been unthinkably left wing for a Labour leader just 2 years ago, but I do suspect that the only way he could make any progress in this election is to publicly condemm most of his supporters from the Blairite faction. It's become a personal grudge match.

P.S. I was going to write an addendum musing on the possibility of Corbynites deserting the party en masse if Smith wins! It always seemed to me that the Blairites worked on the assumption that they could ride roughshod over left wing concerns because left wing voters didn't really have anywhere else to go. An assumption that has fallen apart at the seams in Scotland. It has become depressingly clear that there are lot of people in the leadership contest more interested in settling old scores than making this country a better place to live.
