      She's only a member until the General when she steps aside, until then her only input is as a researcher on housing, she's barred from inputting into any actual policy areas. This is only a story for a day or two, or until either the next sleaze scandal or defection, whichever comes first. I'm betting on sleaze, the party of Baxter Basics' default operational position.

      She's not standing at the General mate, until then all she's be given is a little job researching housing. She has no input on actual policy. The politics behind this is purely to tell waivering Tory voters that Labour are not scary for them, Tory voters live in fear.

    He would probably think it was an apt time to try a bit of Bolshevism (which it wouldn't be). It is too big of a leap for him.

If Corbyn (who faced actual rebellion from his right wing… see chicken coup) had done anything even remotely similar the media would have painted him as the second coming of Stalin
