To represent them. Not to react to the biggest national crisis of our lifetimes by thinking "what a great chance this is to get rid of our leader".

They're representing their constituents by getting rid of a leader they believe does not give the party the best chance of being elected.

They go hand in hand.

Although that said, if Angela Eagle is the answer, the question must be pretty bloody stupid.

All this 'plotters' stuff..80% of the PLP want him out! How many of these are affected by Chilcott??

Oh didn't you know? Anyone and everyone who doesn't think Corbyn can lead Labour to an election win is a Blairite.

Twitter taught me that.

Not particularly.

I think Corbyn should go.

The momentum group are trying to seize control of the Labour Party.

Corbyn is only interested in running a protest movement. Not actual governance.

Corbyn getting outed at the PLP fancy dress Christmas party.

Reckon could be a tactic to just get rid of Corbyn, then have a full election in the future?

That isn't representing their constituents, though -that is representing themselves, and their party (edit: or more accurately, their faction in their party).

She was the least impressive figure I saw during the Brexit debates.......

God I hope alistair Campbell gets savaged by chilcot.

Some people are just so ridiculously blind to reality I'm getting a concussion just from banging my head against the wall. Jeremy Corbyn is not electable in a General Election and never has been. What's so difficult to accept here? Christ on a mother trucking bike.
