Although Corbyn had the support of party ‘members’, most of them hastily recruited, he failed to get the support of the majority of Labour MPs. The Labour [&#8230;]]]></description>

It wasn&#8217;t perfect, it still isn&#8217;t, but over the ages it has evolved. Change has often been slow, those who have been &#8216;in power&#8217; have been reluctant to embrace change.
