Is Jeremy Corbyn’s ‘New Politics’ beginning to flounder?

Jeremy Corbyn has had enough of his shadow cabinet publicly opposing him. According to today’s Guardian, the Labour leader has given his frontbench team a dressing down over speaking out against him — in light of comments by the shadow defence secretary Maria Eagle on Trident last weekend:

‘According to several party sources, Corbyn made it clear that disputes must not be carried out so publicly in future, as he addressed his weekly shadow cabinet meeting.

‘The Labour leader also reminded his colleagues that media statements must be cleared through his office and asserted that there must be stronger collective responsibility. It is understood Eagle’s remarks appearing to back the stance of Gen Sir Nicholas Houghton went down particularly badly with the leader’s office.’
