We Would Serve Under Jeremy Corbyn

All attempts to get this into print were unsuccessful, but here it is:

We, the undersigned, are not necessarily members of the Labour Party at this time, although some of us are. We are not necessarily supporters of Jeremy Corbyn for Leader of that party, although some of us are.

But we should all be more than willing to serve under his Leadership, including his Premiership, if he were to do us the honour of inviting us to do so.

Any Labour MP who will not say this, obviously does not need or want his or her seat in Parliament. Any Labour Prospective Parliamentary Candidate who will not say this, obviously does not need or want the seat to which he or she ostensibly aspires.

Labour currently holds as few seats as it ever realistically could. There would be no shortage of more comradely and less self-regarding applicants to fill any of them.
