I can't stand Owen Smith.
Has he really had a charisma bypass?

What makes him more competent than Corbyn?
His ability to invent roles for Corbyn in a nonexistent party lineup that hopefully will never even begin to be.

Hope that Corbyn does not extend an invitation to the front bench to him. But I guess he would need to appease the supporters. Would he?

Not sure Corbyn would bother offering, the whole point of the challenge is the premise Corbyn is unelectable and "not a leader", how could Smith then accept a position on his front bench?

It was rather good that Smith put his foot in his mouth again by saying he'd like to see negotiations with isis. No doubt thinking 'ah yes this is what Corbyn's people will like to hear, negotiation, they love that instead of bombing people.' But Corbyn gave a resolute NO. It made me laugh. Then the man had to backtrack wildly 'oh yes but I meant only when they renounce violence and everything'. Hmm that shows a good grasp of the situation. They'll be doing that when hell freezes over, it's the violence that's their raison detre. It's not like they're using it to make some other point, surely, so they'll stop when they get what they want. What they want is never going to happen.
Anyway it did make me laugh at the radio.
