How will Labour MPs hide their disgust at Jeremy Corbyn's victory?

Funny to see Iain McNicol, the party’s general secretary, warm Labour activists up for the bad news. “Isn’t it remarkable that so many people have joined Labour?” he says. “I look forward to seeing them on the doorstep, alongside the members who have campaigned for years and decades.” This was a bit of a dig – it’s an open secret that McNicol and others are appalled at the way these new members have been able to pay £3 and dictate the result of the leadership election – and these guys are highly unlikely to spend any time on the doorsteps. Tristram Hunt wrote in the Spectator about these new members. There is, he said, much

“anger among party members who have spent years delivering leaflets and are being called ‘Tories’ for not supporting Corbyn by people who joined the party weeks ago. We are entering the era of emoji politics, where identity and emotion suffocate debate and rationality.”
