Unfortunately, while Jeremy is leader the old guard in Labour, i.e. those two-time losing Blairites and Brownites, will always militate against unity in the party. Split parties are always doomed. I should like to predict that Jeremy will recognise this quite soon, step down gracefully and we'll see Keir Starmer take the helm. He's stayed responsibly loyal to the leadership yet doesn't have any of that New Labour taint. A shoo-in, I'd say. Not saying that's what I'd want but I can't see things staying as they are for very long. Corbyn's unspun integrity will never prevail against the current tidal wave of hubris, shallowness, populism and the tabloids, sad to say.
