The biggest single drawback for Labour is Corbyn. He comes across as being as thick as two short planks with no idea how to win over the undecided voters. Allowing Diane Abbot anywhere other than the furthest back benches proves that as she haemorrhages votes every time she opens her gob. Maybe he's worried about a "Ten times a night Jezza does it in a Lenin cap" front page in the Sun if he upsets her.
Hilary Benn would have been a real threat to the Tories, and I think John McDonald would too. Labour have a history of shooting themselves in the foot with leaders, you'd think they'd learn.
