Here's some evidence:
https://www.politicshome.com/news/uk/politics/opinion-polls/news/77197/labour-would-lose-snap-general-election-new-poll-suggestsIf Labour can't poll ahead now - after all the mess the Tories have created recently, people still think they're a better option than Labour - they're fucked.
I'm not the political establishment or the right wing media and neither as far as I know is @andyp but we think he's unelectable. Plenty of other people I've spoken to do too and they're not the political establishment or the right wing media either.
As at Will Melling says anyone could get elected as Labour in Islington. Being elected PM is a totally different thing.

Who is the acceptable, electable potential Labour leader then?
I'm pretty sure it's not Angela Eagle, who is on the wrong side of a lot of the issues traditional Labour voters care about. And I don't think Owen Smith has time to give himself a profile.

Also, do you think it's just Corbyn's fault that Labour is currently unelectable?
If he'd been able to do his job post-Brexit, and been allowed to present a united, left-wing opposition to the Tories it's likely they'd be in a much stronger position now.
The reason this wasn't possible is probably 15% down to his leadership abilities and 85% down to people who have never liked him, would never have let him succeed, and show contempt for the membership of the party.

Let's see some evidence of the argument he's unelectable then. The only people saying it are the political establishment and the right wing media and they are just saying it because that's what they reckon. Just like they reckoned we wouldn't Brexit.
I'm yet to hear an argument any stronger than 'I know because I've been doing this ages'.
Shit's changing fam. Sam Cooke told me so.
