  • I think the main differences in policy between Corbyn and the PLP are Trident, and membership of the single market. Owen Smith's main disagreement in the debates was with Corbyn's acceptance of the referendum result, even if that meant leaving the single market. Many MPs like Smith are adamant we should stay in as part of the brexit deal, I agree, that's partly why I voted for Smith. He was idiotic to suggest challenging the vote to leave, though. The fact is many MPs, who have fought hard for their seats, feel threatened by hard left activists who have recently joined their local parties, and Corbyn's vague statements about "the vast majority of MPs have nothing to worry about" are insidious. He will neither deny nor condemn the abuse taking place under his watch. It will take alot for those 170 mps to trust him again.
