    Corbyn and his policies have led to Labour MPs who feared they'd lose their seats keeping them, increased majorities & new MPs. THANK YOU!

        You do know Scottish Labour endorsed voting for the Tories to stop Indi2. A hollow heartless hopeless campaign against Corbyn.

        We can address it after the strong result last night - anyone who undermines Corbyn in the party is bonkers. He's the real deal

      JC is now referred to as Mr Corbyn by broadcasters and a little nauseous that they are now giving him credit and respect, short memories

      Do you think this may stop senior members of the PLP sabotaging his leadership now? No more negative briefing around key announcements?

        "Proper leaders" failed to oust him in 2 leadership challenges, and would not have achieved what he has. Shush.
