The Labour Party should be coming together not tearing itself apart

We hear a lot of acrimony being poured onto Jeremy Corbyn and the Left by the right of the Labour party.
Perhaps a little introspection and reflection on their own part, regarding the election defeat, would not go amiss.
If certain individuals had not spent so much time undermining the leader, since he was elected in 2015, who knows Labour might have won the 2017 election?
This ongoing exercise in self destruction has frustrated many party members, desperate for a Labour government.
If  the right faction also intend to continue undermining from within, if the leader is not to their particular tastes, then Labour will lose the next election as well.
The election defeat should be a cause for reflection from all parts of the party - not just the Left. We need to unite in opposition, not tear ourselves apart.

  1. That's so true Paul. The attacks on Corbyn from outside were to be expected - but the disloyalty of some people in the party was truly appalling.
