You know what would be in Labour’s interests? To finally end this charade. Stop pretending people like Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell and Owen Jones have anything at all constructive to contribute to how the Labour party actually wins general elections. Say from the outset “sorry, we’re not interested in being a glorified protest movement any more. You’ve had your fun. Now run along and play with Russell Brand ”. Or at the very least, have the guts to tell Corbyn and his acolytes, “if you want the nominations, you’re going to have to earn them like everyone else. You don’t get special dispensation just because you’ve got a copy of Das Kapital sitting on your shelf."
