Summary

In the latest podcast to tackle the week's fast-moving events, Helen and Stephen discuss the coup against Corbyn and how his response contrasts to the actions of Bernie Sanders in America. Also up for debate is Jeremy's popularity among members, the impact of Corbynite memes, as well as the shortcomings of some of his internal critics. And finally, you ask us: Can the Labour rebels form a new party? And how do you get a vote in Labour's leadership election? (Helen Lewis, Stephen Bush)
