MPs should be approached not just when they might be sympathetic to Jeremy’s politics, but also – even when they are not – on democratic grounds. Social media shows there is a lot of support for Jeremy amongst Party members and supporters, and it would be wrong of MPs to block their ability to show this. Even MPs who have previously expressed support for other candidates are entitled to change their minds, especially if the other candidate is already over the threshold of 35.
