Labour just needs to close its eyes, elect Angela Rayner or Ed Miliband as leader now, and hope for the best. No one is going to emerge from this broken government as a better alternative than them so you're only wasting valuable time until the inevitable happens
feels like Labour is stuck in the seventh circle of leadership contest hell, ie pingponging endlessly between 'he should go!' and 'but not be replaced by any of the people available in this actual life'

You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see the #Milifandom triumph
reminds me of covering Ed M in the run-up to 2015. His team were weirded out when my BuzzFeed colleague found this teen 'Milifandom' thing. They were terrified of how the papers would react to showing him being a bit authentically... odd/kooky. Now we can just say 'obvs TikTok is true mass media'.
