(41,192 posts)31. The point is that all these things are dependent on NOT Brexiting
Xenophobia in particular; it is at the very heart of Brexit policy. And economic issues - the economy will be drastically hit by Brexit. And the NHS and public services, which depend on the economy.
You may be right that if May gets back in, our public services will be irretrievably damaged - or at least very hard to restore. Which is precisely why we should devote our time to fighting the Tories; and that doesn't just mean not changing leader in the middle of the campaign, it means not changing the PLP in the middle of the campaign. The PLP is not the enemy - nor at present are the LibDems; nor is the SNP; the May government is the enemy.

But isn't that due, as much as anything else, to the fact that the PLP never let up on Corbyn?

OK, in your view, what would it mean for Momentum to "engage with the outside world"?

If Labour had vetoed the election, wouldn't that have caused massive blowback against them?
