This is pretty funny, must say.Times are running a front page story about " Corbyn's popularity among LP members soars" backed up by a series of polls showing him stuff the pair of them.

Christ. He'd need to be getting the police's opinion all the time as PM. Could be a serious problem.

As with the leadership election itself, Corbyn is helped by his enemies being so incredibly objectionable.

Probably right. But there's weeks and weeks of drip, drip and drip ahead.

What can they level at Corbyn now? The kitchen sink has already been thrown, that's it and it hasn't worked.

They have already said that he's a proxy homophobe, that his supporters have verbally and physically attacked 'moderates' basically with his blessing etc
Where do you even go from there? If we get to leadership debates, hustings and Smeagle (Smith + Angela) rallies it's going to be a bloodbath.

They keep saying the same things, get new people to say them, and brief about the split ahead (if this is made to seem like more than losing a gaggle of Blairites, it will worry a lot of LP members).
I'm not saying it will work. I guess time will tell.

It will just be more of the same - for a start they refuse to understand why he won the first time, and even if they did understand it they don't have the ability or the nous to come up with a coherent alternative.
Just look at Woodcock today for instance, gamely co-operating with the Tories; or how more than a few of them reacted to Chilcot by openly saying they would do exactly the same thing again. How do they expect a Labour electorate to react?

Cynic, and loves it when people are just lovely.
I've been told on this very forum that the NEC elections are at the same time as the leadership elections
I voted on Sunday for the NEC.
"Ballots are currently being issued to those eligible to vote by post and online- we recommend you vote online as soon as you get the email. Polls close at 12pm on August 5."

The people have spoken... the bastards!
I'm surprised the other two did as well as that tbh, but still pretty clear-cut.
could they in theory just continously challenge him again and again, or is there some limit on it?

That's the stated plan of Luke Akehurst + Labour First
just the kind of creative thinking the country needs

There's an interesting contrast between how easy and frequently the leader can be challenged by the PLP, and how difficult and rare it is for Labour MPs to be challenged by their CLP.
If these challengers think it's right that JC (or any leader) can be challenged less than a year after being elected, on the basis of 20% of PLP members nominating someone else, perhaps that power of recall should be extended to their positions too...

So many particulars. So many questions.
peadophile. Thats what they will be gagging to throw.
recall isn't available, only deselection - and I'm not sure it makes much tactical sense deselecting so far in advance of an election. all the deselected MPs would still be in parliament, just not on the labour benches - with more time to position themselves as a 'credible alternative' type parry.
