...we seem to agree about the disaster that is leaving the EU, and Labour's pathetic reaction to it.
Indeed, it was my involvement in the referendum campaign that made it clear to me that Labour is being badly mismanaged, that Corbyn as party leader is ultimately responsible for this and needs to be replaced, and that many of Corbyns supporters have brought into what has effectively become a rather odd personality cult rather than any wider cause.
Now as somebody who is set to see my local Labour MP replaced by an absolute charlatan of a Tory, Labour's demise does very much affect me. However, I cannot see Labour turning itself around and competing effectively with other parties for some time to come, if ever.

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

I am as concerned as you are about the imminent Tory landslide-which can still be prevented.

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?
