Yes, it would be best if he steps aside, allows a more amicable and inclusive transfer of leadership. As I said before, if he stands and is re-elected, there can be no place in the cabinet for anyone who challenged his leadership, which now includes every Labour MP who has ever run anything or held any form of office– we would be trying to get elected with hardly a single recognisable name or face and zero experience, and the possibility of a rival party rising from the ashes of the current PLP. It would probably result in a longer Tory domination than the Thatcher years.

Was thinking, maybe best bet is Corbyn to agree to step aside, in return for being made deputy and there being a clear working group on policies. Would give some support to his mandate from the Labour Party Members, but also be a bone thrown to those who (rightly or wrongly) think he's in electable as PM
