Honestly I think the blame is probably down the system. Tories have a nice clean and effective system (which labour should copy) whereas labour has a Byzantine system that makes it almost impossible to dislodge a leader who won't politely resign.

This is a dogshit rebrand, and probably gonna fall foul of an electoral law or two, but people are overthinking the reasoning. It’s just an extension of that “country over party” thing the PLP is obsessed with. They aren’t trying to hoodwink people into thinking they’re the Greens or whatever
