As per title, what will happen to the Labour Party following yesterday's defeat?

Will they split with Momentum & the left wingers going one way and the moderates another?
Will the moderates take back control?
Or will the party implode and cease to be a major force in UK politics?

The next few months are likely to be interesting/entertaining/depressing (depending on your point of view) for the Labour Party.

From a wider perspective, I believe we need an effective opposition, regardless of which party is in power, to question and offer alternatives to whatever the government of the day is doing.
