I think Labour are stuck with Jeremy Corbyn if the election is this year since Burnham and everyone else seem to be committed to comebacks with five year arcs.

My understanding is that the Tory party will not countenance May leading them into the next election and that there are several tories with their tongues out to be the one.

I should imagine the choice will be a Bwexitter

So you think that Labour are screwed because you think they are 'stuck with Corbyn'?

I can't think of any logical reason why any of the hard bwexiters on offer would be more attractive than Corbyn since Job losses, emergency traffic arrangements, decamped companies will be more obvious...but whether logic is a factor in British politics is a different matter.
