So we are supposed to just forget about the last 3 years when large parts of the PLP actively worked against the left of the party in favour of a Tory government. Why couldn’t they end factionalism when Jeramy became leader?
I’m going to get behind RBL I think. KS has no chance of winning over the leave voting areas that turned blue at the last election.

Do people forgot that the division in the PLP was nothing compared to the Conservative Party's near complete implosion? They had 25 grandees of their parliamentary party quit or get booted and many came back as independents.
JC and Co's complete lack of political skill in exploiting this golden opportunity is there for all to see.

Though Corbynism was unable to win over those leave-voting areas, so unsure why you'd think that Corbyn's heir would be able to do so with more of the same.
I'd hope that there'd be an assessment of whether the leave voting areas are more likely to vote for Starmer's Labour compared to all those swing constituencies are likely to vote for Long-Bailey.
Fairly or not, there's absolutely no way people in Nuneaton (for example) will vote for her if there's a whiff of Corbyn / Momentum about her.

Why did she think it was a good idea to rake over past internal disputes at that retirement dinner? Factionalism never dies.
