Terminal Decline
Jeremy Corbyn's shadow cabinet is a hand-picked team of Labour politicians chosen by the party leader as a government-in-waiting, capable of beating the Conservatives at the next general election in 2020.
But instead of leading a motivated team, Jeremy Corbyn as team captain has lurched from one disaster to another, to the point where the the majority of his shadow cabinet and many of Labour's backbench MPs are in open revolt.
Not surprising perhaps since Jezza has been a serial Labour rebel throughout his 30 plus years in the House of Commons.
So demands for fellow MPs to deny their political instincts and fall in loyally behind his leadership must have a terribly hollow ring to Labour politicians who have 'mandates' from voters in their own local constituencies.
Euan McColm in this hard-hitting piece for Scotland on Sunday suggest that under Corbyn's leadership the Labour Party may be in terminal decline.
