Even the dogs in the street know Theresa May can’t get her Brexit deal through Parliament. But what should Labour’s position be in case of complete constitutional deadlock?

The position of Corbyn’s opposition party has attracted more attention than the position of the government. Little scrutiny is aimed at the sitting government as they tear their party to pieces. Centrist journalists and commentators Instead aim their criticisms entirely at the Labour Party.

Anything that goes wrong — the botched Universal Credit benefits system, for example — is down not to the government that created and implemented the failing system, but purely the fault of Corbyn’s shadow cabinet: If Labour were a “proper opposition” none of this would be happening, the claim goes; the blame for any crises lies squarely at the feet of Corbyn and McDonnell, runs the argument.
