· I agree with pretty much everything Jeremy stands for

· Jeremy is refreshing — he’s authentic, principled, honest, straight talking, consistent, relentlessly on the right side of history

· He has already shifted the entire terrain of political debate in a very positive and dramatic way

· Jeremy not to blame for Brexit — he simply avoided being hypocritical by not giving his unqualified support for remain

· The Labour vision or narrative remains unclear and is not getting through to the electorate, especially to many traditionally Labour voters who have been seduced by UKIP rhetoric & the scapegoating of migrants

· Labour desperately needs a new, coherent, radical and progressive narrative that the membership, the PLP and the electorate can easily understand and support and I think Jeremy, the unions, momentum, supporters of a progressive alliance and the membership have a lot to contribute to that

· Labour also needs to directly challenge the often repeated lies put out by the Tories, about how Labour caused the financial crash of 2008, about how Labour are the enemies of business, about how a safety net is at the cost of ‘hard working families’

· To achieve this, Labour needs to swallow its pride and employ the best people in persuasive, ethical communication, to consistently get this narrative out there

· Since Jeremy became leader, Labour is actually doing better than almost anyone predicted — but given the collapse of the Scottish Labour vote, nowhere near well enough to win a GE, and this is perhaps the main concern of the PLP

· Consequently Labour is deeply divided between the membership/unions/momentum on one side and the PLP on the other

· the PLP are convinced Labour will lose any general election with Jeremy as leader, in no small part because the largely selfish swing voters who tend to decide elections have been convinced by the establishment — including the media — that he is unfit to lead the country

· When he threw his hat in the ring, Jeremy did not want to be leader

· Jeremy has no experience of leadership

· And Labour does need to attract swing voters if it wants to hold power

· An emerging view is that a progressive coalition against the Tories might be a way forward and we all need to at least consider that possibility, though I would much prefer a Labour Government

· I have faith in my MP Louise Haigh, she’s no Blairite, yet even she voted no confidence in Jeremy as leader: this foregrounds the extent of Party disunity and simply wishing it away is futile and dangerous

· Jeremy will get re-elected as leader of the party, but to win a GE we need a united party as a party split would be catastrophic

· So what’s the solution? First, Labour need to call a truce and urgently develop a new radical and progressive narrative that everyone who wants to see a Labour government can subscribe to.

· Second, if in one or two years it still looks very likely that Labour would lose a GE with Jeremy as leader he needs to signal to the PLP that he would then be willing to relinquish the leadership on condition that someone genuinely capable of uniting the party can found — my preferred candidate for next leader would be Clive Lewis.
