They tell us that blind faith in Jeremy will be enough. They think a movement is something instead of parliamentary politics.
“But I tell you this, when Labour MPs decide collectively, or a small number of them decide collectively not to do something, and refuse to turn up to a debate on the economy, for example, because it was opened by John McDonnell – that’s silly, childish behaviour, their duty is to be out there putting it to the Tories”.
