Corbyn and his Trots would be delighted, but Labour's chances of returning to government would be completely fucked.It's the shortsightedness that gets me. Things that are very obviously done to avoid falling into traps are projected as personal failings and evidence that Starmer (or whoever is the villain du jour) is really just Tory etc. Whereas Corbyn walked happily (and probably cluelessly) into every single trap because for him it was more important to be seen as 'good' (by his definition) than to apply some thought so that he may later be in a position to actually *do* good.

No word alas on Dennis Skinner losing Bolsover personally or Laura Pidcock losing North West Durham. Nor on Jon Trickett, having a much bigger swing against him in Hemsworth next door than Creagh.This confirms my theory that a lot of the people who run our unions are the sort of people who shouldn't be running them.
Grady pitches up below the line to get Creagh's 2015 majority wrong as well, and hasn't corrected when this is pointed out as far as I can see.

Up to 70 Labour MPs could join union picket lines on Friday as Keir Starmer faces a renewed battle to maintain party unity over support for striking workers.Starmer's never said Labour MPs can't do it. But how many?
A CWU source said the union expected between 30 and 70 MPs to join BT workers at picketsOh, so a single source says 30-70. Good luck to them, but that's not really 70. Nor all that much of a "challenge" to Starmer.
several shadow cabinet ministers are known to have concerns
