A24, I agree that the UK's media are very unfair to Labour but I think Labour has no choice but to deal with that unfair playing field as much as it can. In the case of Corbyn's leadership, I think Corbyn should have counteracted the media's unfair anti-Labour campaign by simply stepping down as leader in order to give Labour a better chance of winning under a new untarnished leader. I think if the next Labour leader, no matter who they are, becomes as unpopular as Corbyn was, that person should step down before the next election so Labour does not have to campaign in the next election under a great disadvantage. I think the UK Conservatives were smart to jettison their leader, Theresa May, before the last election in order to enhance their chances of winning. I think Labour should have done the same.
Would you agree that, whoever wins the Labour leadership next, the PLP owes it to the rest of the party to not, under any circumstances, treat that leader as they treated Corbyn? And that Labour cannot gain anything from any leader repeating Neil Kinnock's vicious campaign to drive all socialists out of the party?
