The UK is literally falling apart. Britain’s international allies are struggling to come to terms with what has happened. This is the biggest national crisis since perhaps Suez, and maybe world war two.
In this context many Labour MPs, including the half of the shadow cabinet which has resigned, seem to think that the number one priority for the constituents they are supposed to represent is not to reassure worried migrants, reach out to the world, provide a clear path forward, or calmly reassure, but rather to focus on their own internal leadership problems.
I don’t care what you think about Jeremy Corbyn. This inability among key MPs to see beyond the corridors of Westminster at a time when we need international scale visionaries renders their party unelectable. Until Labour’s shadow cabinet can put the problems of the country and the world ahead of their leadership questions, they have no right to govern.
