Angela is criticising Corbyn for not resolving the leadership problem, however, the ball is in her court, if she wants to challenge his leadership then it is not done through words, it is done through action - she knows the official process, it is her that is holding back not Corbyn.
There is no leadership battle at the moment. If she wants to develop any respect then she should do the challenge and stop faffing around.
As with most parties at the moment, there are no obvious leaders, Corbyn has got more going for him than anyone else in Labour.

There's a real danger that the left will drag Britain back to the 1970s, with secure well-paid jobs, ample housing, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition, student grants, final salary pensions, affordable rail fares and fabulous films and music. David Osland 2025

"By the next election in 1992 the Labour Party machine moved against rebellious Wallasey Labour Party, expelled key activists and shut down the CLP so it couldn't decide on its candidate. Whilst the CLP was shut down Angela Eagle was imposed as the candidate." So when Angela Eagle says "resolve the crises" let history give you guidance on what the Permanent political class actually mean.
And when she loses, that will be the signal for the breakup of the present Labour party: then you Marxists will have no chance of being part of a government.
then you Marxists will have no chance of being part of a government.
Big scary word Marxism - very few people that use it know what it means, it is not a political stance, it is a method of analysis.
Its amazing how the right wing politicians (Conservative and Labour) find democracy so scary and they are so afraid of the left yet they swear the left is no perceivable threat.
I vote for those that have morals, this excludes 99% of capitalists.

Before you attach a label to something or someone it would be wise to understand what it means, as dd already stated Marxism is a socioeconomic analysis/ theory later developed by his followers to form the basis of communism, or maybe the word communist was a tad to strong to use chris.
What the word originally meant is irrelevant: it's what people understand it to mean now, even if that's not the same. I'll use Communist if you would feel easier with that (although I don't really care what you and your fellow-travellers think).

I personally don't see much difference between communism and so called democracy or any other form of governance (past and present). They all end up with an elite core at the top who have control of most of the media and support of the wealthy and and use them to stay in power as long as they can to gain even more wealth. Look at America and their political dynasties Look at Russia Putin and his Oligarchs Look at Britain and check who are millionaires in the parties and who owns the media
Most seem to pay lip service about inequality and a fairer distribution of wealth.

Sorry if you feel offended chriskay, it appears that support of the Labour party makes one suspect,harking back to the days of McCarthyism reds under the beds etc, and that appeared to stand out in your response.

Yep, anything left of Attila/Thatcher is a communist who eat children for breakfast etc.

I'd like to know either way if there is a challenge and Jeremy Corbyn wins again will
1 The mps knuckle down and support him up to the next election (possibly if there is a snap election after the Tories select their leader) and if they lose then possibly a vote for a new leader then.
2 Will they break away to form a new party (splitting the Labour vote and more or less let the Tories in with a huge majority)
3 Will they be deselected and new members more to Jeremy Corbyns stance on austerity etc be put up for selection
I've avidly watched lots of interviews no-one has come up with answer, all avoiding the question when asked
