So they're still fighting each other?

It seems like the left aren't going to give up their hold on the party without a fight.

 

There's been a surge in Labour membership since the leadership election was announced. This time though, it's reckoned that moderates are (re)joining to thwart the Corbyn continuity candidate.

" moderates" . Try and think for yourself instead of letting the tabloids or BBC do it for you

I don’t think I’m missing any point.

 

I’d much prefer RLB to Johnson.

 

It’s just that I’d also prefer a competent leader to RLB.

She's not leader, how can you judge her either way ? You're allowing prejudice ( albeit unconscious) to cloud your judgement.

How long has she been in Parliament?

 

I’ve seen enough of her to generate serious doubts about her intellect, her presentation skills and her capacity to lead the change that Labour needs.

 

Stop blaming the media for everything. Start questioning the current, failing direction of the party.
