"He failed because he had no backbone."

To be frank the consequence of his failure to clean the Labour stable of manure was the rise of Starmer and his poisonous minions.
You might say the stable of shits was indeed Augean and Corbyn no Hercules, but Keith is right in this.

Not only did he fail to identify and deal with the enemies of social democracy in Labour, he actualy allowed them to run a witch hunt against his allies.

-It's hard to understand this as the actions of a leader with real conviction...but alas as I recall ( please check this) even the recently de-selected Faiza Shaheen had tweeted support of Chris Williamsons dismisal, which makes it hard to sympathise with her present plight.

The behaviour typifies what we see in Pastor Neimullers poem:

"First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out- Because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out- Because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out- Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me."

How can Diane Abbott go back and stand as a representative of this party of racist right-wing turds with a straight face?
Yet she does...and as I've said before, there's something weird in the left wing of Labour that makes them put party loyalty before principles: like Dennis Cannavan before them, they let themselves be humiliated repeatedly but apparently still don't get the message:
