The Stop Corbyn plan seems to be over for now. The Oxbridge modernisers have admitted defeat. The Establishment is planning their next move.
"Tristram Hunt tells party to 'forget talk of split' if Jeremy Corbyn wins
...
He warned: “Those of us who advocate modernisation risk becoming a spent force in the debate about the future of the Labour party. In the current leadership election, we focused too much on restoring policies from the 1990s rather than a programme for the 2020s focused on the way the world is now."

What an amazing turnaround for the people. The end of teh "modernisers" which will of course also mean the end of the same "modernisers" in the Tory Party. The entire Blairite tendency is over for good. It ain't a coming back.
"Jeremy Corbyn is here to stay and the Labour Party is never going to look the same again"

Meanwhile Corbyn wows the crowds in Essex - which is Tory/UKIP territory.
"It's not natural Labour territory. The party has lost every election here since 1950. At this year's general election, the Conservatives were returned with an 18,000 majority.
But the people of Chelmsford, in Essex, were queuing round the block outside the city's civic theatre to hear Jeremy Corbyn.

'No artifice or spin'
"He's a breath of fresh air," says Helen Davenport, a teacher who had left the Labour party for the Greens. "I gave up hope," she says. "But now there's an alternative. I like his ideas on renationalising rail and he has a more sympathetic policy on immigration. He has the wisdom of Tony Benn."
Sasha McLoughlin agrees: "It's the first time a Labour leader has represented me in years. You vote Labour because that's what you do but it's so exciting to have a leftwing leader, not a Tory in disguise."
Further up the line was Gerard Darcy. He says he wasn't a natural Corbyn supporter but found him to be "straight-talking".
He went on: "There's no artifice. No spin. The other candidates are preened, moulded. He looks like a 70s sociology lecturer but people are now in to the issues, not the image - no one cares about what his smile looks like."

It is the end of spin, the end of PR, the end of focus groups, the end of teh Oxbridge teams, the teenage whizzkids, the think tank Kevin Turveys, the end of lies, the end of bullshit. But while Labour eradicates the whole lot of that, the Tories still have the same old faces saying the same old spin, so the public will soon tire of the Tories and rally to Corbyn and the real Labour people.
"Not a criticism he would level at himself. So how has a left-winger who had languished on the backbenches - someone to whom Ed Miliband's former chief of staff Lucy Powell admits to never having spoken - now become something of an international celebrity?"

He had to "max out" his credit card to get the campaign started"
It was the people wot dun it, not the Sun and their public school editorial teams
"But Corbyn insists "there is a thirst for doing politics differently". We will find out just how many people are drinking in his ideas a week from now."
The people are drunk with hope. The elite is in panic, every bigwig has been told to get out there and read from their pagers to fool the people for the final time. It ain't gonna work, we've been there, heard it all before, all the smarmy spin and lies, the people can't take any more.
