    Democratically, the will of the Labour membership, Jeremy Corburn was voted our leader last year. So why allow a minority of the Party to tear apart or destroy the Labour movement. I call for Owen Smith to stand down and bring an end to this madness.

    Jeremy Corbyn is a man of principle and someone supporters can trust.
    He is capable of leading the Labour Party to win the 2020 General Election. The sMe cannot be said of Owen Smith who has already changed his stance on austerity to please potential supporters

    Any chance of this resounding result being reflected in some way on the overall editorial approach of Left Foot Forward towards Jeremy Corbyn? No? Thought not.

    Left Foot Forward seems to have become Blarite Foot Forward in recent weeks.

    Here is how to interpret this poll

    Do you agree with the result

    Yes: Celebrate it reinforces everything you know. Corbyn is going to smash it.

    No: it’s an unscientific self selecting poll. The results are not worth the paper they are printed on.
