So Gordon Brown's decided to weigh into the ring now, saying Labour should be electable?

Obvious point (for me) is that the reason why Labour lost under his watch and in 2015 was because Labour just weren't electable!

I suppose the obvious thing to ask is...is Jeremy Corbyn electable? By that I mean will Joe Blogs (and Mrs Blogs of course) vote for him at the next election, as so many voters seem to vote for a person rather than a party.
I voted for Blair when he first became leader as I got drawn in by his 'sincerity', but never got tempted again.
