Literally that.

With Labour slumping in the polls, Brexit, antisemitism and whatever else making Labour unpopular, the rumour mill is in overdrive.

The only surprising thing is that it’s taken this long! Will be watching with interest.

Six MPs.

What difference will that make?

Would make more sense to get rid of Corbyn. It's scandalous that Lab has dropped to 7 points behind the Tories and May is 14 points ahead of him in handling of Brexit.

I'm sure he'd lose a confidence vote among the PLP if he lost the support of the membership, who overwhelmingly support a 2nd Ref. When is it finally going to sink in that they elected a lifelong Leaver who'd prefer No Deal to Remain?

This is today. Previous polls indicate more support. Outside of the Westminster bubble Brexit really is not the issue elsewhere.

Austerity, foodbanks, stuff that impacts on life is.

Angela Raynor and Tony Blair are apparently planning a coup.

Corbyn is still popular with the membership, no change there.

Chuka is annoyed because his constituency have voted for one member one vote, he could end up with a vote of no confidence in him standing as their MP.

Chuka is still not popular with the membership, no change there.

Him and his pals have been threatening to form a new party for 2 years now, they need to get on with it I think.

UKCA, haha never a more unlikely pairing!

Not enough support to win an election. There'll only be an election if May's deal can't get through the House, as an alternative to a 2nd Ref. So it will be all about Brexit, no matter how much Corbyn tries to make it about domestic affairs. Corbyn needs the membership to get out the vote, but they're not going to do that if he looks as if he's enabling Brexit. His Brexit plan about a customs union where we have a say is just a different coloured unicorn.

Over half of Remainers now wouldn't vote Labour and Labour Leavers are more likely to vote Tory.

And Brexit means job losses - e.g. the news about Nissan in Sunderland.
Nothing impacts on life more than unemployment.

Angela Rayner? I don't see that happening, she's very much a Corbyn loyalist.

Will be interested to see if others have decided it's time though. Labour is doing terribly in the polls against an unbelievably crappy government.

I remember Angela describe herself as stealth.

Chuka Umunna and many others aren't popular with Momentum.

The one member, one vote is Momentum inspired.

That's putting me off Labour. That 'party within a party' thing Momentum are doing.

Creepy.

Shame bLiar's brand is still completely toxic to me.

Only insane women would vote for the current Labour party according to this Labour Lord.

Angela Rayner didn't vote for Corbyn in the first leadership election and she's got a mind of her own. - unlike Long-Bailey and Dawn Butler - the Dorries of the Labour Party when it comes to brain cells. I'm sure she has a ? against her name in the Inner Circle's little black book. And she belongs to a different union, not UNITE, which means she's not a McCluskey puppet. But I think the Mail is just stirring.

150,000 have left the LP, or failed to renew their subs, according to some reports. Jon Lansman of Momentum has been remarkably quiet, too.

Yay! I'll have somebody to vote for! (Probably)
