Yes, it's a great shame that Tony Benn didn't live to see this moment.
Same goes for Ted Heath, for a very different reason.

BBC reporting half the shadow cabinet about to resign.
Looks like they about to crucify JC.
See, you always have to look on the bright side of life.
I see what you did there.Looks like they about to crucify JC.

"Looks like they about to crucify JC"
line on the Top Gear thread also.
In these hard times you have to re-use quips and darn socks.
As it turns out JC was likely more in touch with the feelings of the national party (especially on immigration) but he wasn't allowed to run the campaign on that basis by the Islington elite (I know he lives in Islington, but he isn't very elite).
The shadow cabinet are going to resign to force a leadership campaign (awful idea at this point). I would not be surprised if the first order of business when parliament next sits is to repeal the Fixed Term Parliaments Act and call a general election as soon as there's a new Tory leader in order to get that person a national mandate.
If that happens then I've got a suspicious feeling that an awful lot of the Blairite leadership candidates may find themselves deselected.

Anybody with the initials "JC" is destined to be crucified - "Looks like they about to crucify JC"

starting with the original - Jesus Christ
then Jeremy Clarkson

Laura Kuenssberg tweeting that she's seen documents suggesting that Corbyn's office attempted to sabotage the Labour remain campaign.
This could backfire horribly on Labour.
The whole problem is that the parliamentary party is completely out of touch with the national party. Now it may be that a lot of the new members don't like that Corbyn wanted to take the UK out of the EU (which I believe he did) but I still think that he'd win any leadership election making this entire exercise pointless.This could backfire horribly on Labour.
