If they are, then you can see why the press / establishment deride him continuously - Labour now has 571,000 members and if the majority are supporting him that suggests people want serious change. It is not an insubstantial number to have made the effort to join and pay £3 / £25. For every one that has signed up there are probably 10 or more that have the same view but can't be bothered.
Or of that 180,000 , 150,000 are Tories who've paid to keep him at the helm of the rapidly sinking good ship Labour ?

Still trying to work out why others work very hard to make others rich so they can enjoy the benefits at the expense of those who actually create the wealth and then keep voting for a party who believe in a discredited unfair system that allows them to be exploited in such a way. Then again people do have the right to be stupid.

Seems the only option if Corbyn wins?
It is, as they should've been from his first victory 9/10 months ago.
I speak as someone who didn't vote for Corbyn, but this has been politics at its absolute worst from many Labour MP's.
Whoever wins now the Party has to rally behind. If Smith wins I hope he's not as right wing as he used to be on many issues and that his left wing talk isn't just platitudes.
If Corbyn wins again the PLP has NO option but to get fully behind him.

Summed up well.
As for Owen Smith, he used work for Pfizer. That's enough for me.

Another. It's hard to believe this article was written almost a year ago during the first leadership campaign. Everything, everything that Owen Jones predicted in his article has either come to fruition or we are witnessing daily now.
Jones is either clairvoyant or a very clever political analyst. It is all so frighteningly contrived. We, the public, are pawns played like the proverbial fiddle. Scary stuff.
