I know but all the time you have a double digit lead in the polls it really doesn't matter.
Let's say there were to be a by-election in one of those seats. That could be interesting.
Very simplistic (and I'm sure you know that.)
What Len said, I imagine, echoes the sentiment of plenty of senior figures on the left. They want to see progress in the polls and Corbyn doesn't have an unlimited time to do that.

How patient should business be then? None of this is their fault, their priority is to their shareholders, not to be sympathetic with the cause of an employees repeated non-attendance/ lateness, no matter how understandable the reason is. If someone else can do it with less fuss then they're not...
