But this is the 'new politics' y'see, and his mandate is from the Membership, not the PLP. He might call a leadership contest as a result of this.

Compromise where you can. Where you can't, don't. Even if everyone is telling you that something wrong is something right. Even if the whole world is telling you to move, it is your duty to plant yourself like a tree, look them in the eye, and say, 'No, *you* move'."
Even Tory voters / Labour haters should not be enjoying this any more. The country really needs a strong government AND a strong opposition to get the best deal from Brexit. At the moment the PM has flounced off and both parties are in total chaos... OK the Tories less so but still.
A 1 party state is good for nobody.
