You must be joking when you speak of Tom Watson replacing Jeremy Corbyn. Tom Watson is a traitor and is not to be trusted. He has consistently worked to undermine Jeremy and is not interested in having a Socialist Government. He is a Blairite who promotes neoliberalism. He has done nothing to support Jeremy since becoming deputy leader. He should stand down and allow another more supportive colleague to take over the reins.

This is far too little, far too late.
The high minded strategising (some might say heel dragging) of Mr Corbyn has merely resulted in Labour losing the initiative. Which I suspect was his (if not the membership’s) plan all along.
The tories are the most incompetent government I can ever remember, the tide has turned against Brexit for the British people and yet with Mr Corbyn in charge Labour would still lose a GE.
It doesn’t matter the chaos in the other party. It doesn’t matter the brickbats hurled from the ridiculous far right ERG. Mr Corbyn is revealed as an immovable and inactive authoritarian, unwilling or unable to entertain any position but his own. He cannot represent the people if he refuses to listen to them.
He should be replaced as soon as possible to head off the destruction of Labour. Tom Watson would be a fine replacement but is an easy target for the right. Kier Starmer springs to mind.

I note the Independent Group were not included – by definition they are not prepared to work across parties in the HOC. I am surprised there appears to be little interest in challenging the integrity and validity of Leave funding and even May has raised concerns about the likely influence of Russia in the UK election processes. Yes to a new referendum but it may not be the solution to the current crisis. There will be no satisfactory outcome until she goes. She is holding Parliament and the country to ransom until she gets her way. It is stubbornness and egotism on a galactic scale with no backward glance to the disastrous fallout.
