          Her judgement is poor and she clearly cannot now lead us into Brexit negotiations. There is no question that she has got to go. (6/7)

          The PM asked the country for a huge majority to deliver the hardest hard Brexit. The country said no. This is the end for hard Brexit. (7/7)

          Do you think Labour should have gotten behind him earlier, avoiding abortive attempts to oust him?

          And less snakes in the camp. More than ever I am now deeply angered by the behaviour of the PLP a year ago. Hindered a potential landslide.

          Self belief was not lacking in the coupsters it's the very thing that drove 2 yrs of sabotaging Jeremy's efforts and cost us a lab majority.
