And another cabinet member has resigned. If more go before lunch it could be like watching England play cricket.

The Parliamentary Labour party have a real problem. Very few support Corbyn.
They can call for a leadership election. Corbyn can put his name in. The vote is made by party membership who support Corbyn so he is re-elected leader.
What then ?

So far six of Corbyn's shadowy cabinet have quit over his sacking of Benn.

Apparently the Ghanan dishwasher and the Albanian receptionist will stay through the end of the month.

Corbyn might find employment in Argentina.
Well……he wants to “dialogue” with them over the Falklands.
Which of course, doesn't affect him.

When last I looked, there were 11 of Corbyn's shadowy ministers who resigned.

Now being called “ mass resignations.”

A rather clear expression of no-confidence.

But Corbyn still doesn't get it.

Who does Corbyn represent. It's the rank and file Labour party members.
Are there enough of them to give labour a chance in any national election? NO !
So they are supporting a man who will never be acceptable to the main British public and keep Labour out of power. Seems sensible !
