No, that's part of why probably there'll be some breaking away.
He doesn't really support one and doesn't want one.

These will dress it up as to their leaving likely with the antisemitism issue.
I'd guess they'd be using that issue to suit their own ends, rather than just their brexit stance.

This doesn't surprise me.
There's a lot wrong in all Parties.
Good grief, the Lib Dems only have 12 MPs, one of theirs resigned too on his personal brexit stance.

What Parties don't need are these waverers, who haven't the courage to stay and battle to reform their Parties.

Preferring instead to grab a few days or weeks media fame to suit their hope of one day being seen as relevant.

I've no time for those who fuel these rumours, then resign too.
Far better argue your points and fight for change within the Party they chose to be in and got elected for.

That comment to MPs of all Parties.

It's seems Corbyn isn't the messiah at all ... just a very naughty boy.

Charlie Fairhead from Casualty has survived several heart attacks, a decapitation, a couple of shootings and a drug overdose.

Sometimes they just don't leave.

Quite. He lost the last election. Doing less worse than expected doesn't make him a worthy leader.

Labour will lose the next election if he stays, no matter how big a mess the Tories make.

There was a small window of time when Corbyn looked like a credible leader - if the snap election had been instant, Labour would have been wiped out. If it was held now (without the previous one having happened) they'd take a beating.

But somehow, Corbyn grew a shiny halo that just lasted long enough for the snap election to not totally suck for him.

I'm pretty sure that "somehow" was the Tory party being in incompetent chaos with constant infighting and bickering, and a leader fighting for something that she was campaigning against a year earlier. It's not really a mystery .
