Apparently, certainly. Let's hope the High Court burns to the ground on that day.
Jeremy Corbyn's time is up

They've just spent the last week briefing about how awful and undemocratic it would be if Corbyn challenged it legally, were the boot on the other foot.

So plans H, I, J and K for team Red Tory?
Go to court?
Try to get more supporters in the NEC?
Try to get CLPs of loyal Corbyn MPs to give votes of no confidence?
Try to find a candidate who can win against him?
Try to recruit a few 100k more members to vote for them in a ballot?
Try to change some rules so Corbyn needs one squillion votes for each one of theirs?

Aye, hard to imagine that many following the deposed officers over the top. As long as he wins though there's the brilliant possibility of watching the hardcore march off into obscurity though - will take the week off to revel in it.

Would be such a good look; we want to overturn the democratic will of the governing body of the party in order to stop the democratically elected leader from defending our challenge.
Yeah, go with that!

I agree, just pointing out that if they went through with the statement about continuing to oppose corbyn after he won a second election then they'd be giving him the means to easily remove them without having to wait for deselection in 2-3 years time.

None of the above but I suspect there might be a considerable realignment of British politics in the coming weeks and months. In fact I think the result makes a split more likely.

- Wouldn't surprise me.
- Vote's been taken, NEC elections soon, hard to imagine too many being willing to shift. Hopefully.
- Too many Corbyn supporters around, would have to be very organised to even attempt getting the numbers locally.
- Tom Watson, his moment has come. Not that I think he could win, but they might. Or Hillary Benn.
- Run an ad in The Times? Like when posh people used to run the buses during strikes?
- Why not? Worth a punt.

Flint has form for this, having quit Brown's government as part of a failed mini-coup.

If there is a split it's high end journalism like that that's going to drive their new party. Wonder if they'll even pretend to have a platform of their own, or just carry on trying to beast Corbyn?

Haven't seen any good defeat faces yet though.
Oh, and latest from McTernan: Corbyn is anti-western!

I was saying something similar earlier. They're doing his job for him in many ways .

I think they've already fucked the pooch as far as PR is concerned. Might as well not bother clinging on to those last shreds of dignity and decorum.

The size of the majority suggests to me that the NEC members who requested a secret ballot did so not because they were concerned with bullying and intimidation from the Corbyn faction, but with bullying and intimidation from the other side.
I think that 1) this is almost certainly right 2) it's basically impossible for your average British politics journo to get their head around it

Well quite.
So enough about them. What next for the Corbynistas?
I'm still hoping for many CLPs of the turncoats to conduct votes of no confidence in their MPs. Let them feel a bit of the pressure they've put on Corbyn.

Stuff like that should secure more popular support for Corbz in the 'labour heartlands'.

Any legal challenge would surely be about how the rule has been interpreted by the NECWould be such a good look; we want to overturn the democratic will of the governing body of the party in order to stop the democratically elected leader from defending our challenge.

im expecting some forced smiles "looking forward to the campaign" from those who dare go in front of a camera tonight - will be just as funny
