Coffee Shots: Jeremy Corbyn loses a fan

Jeremy Corbyn has proved to be a divisive figure since his election as Labour leader. While the party has gained members, they have also lost the support of several high profile figures. Meanwhile many Labour staffers have been suitably rattled by Seumas Milne’s claim — in the VICE News Corbyn documentary — that staff are leaking PMQs intel to the Tories.

Given that Corbyn could do with all the support he can get right now, Mr S suspects he should think twice before casting fans aside.
