      I mean theyd just kill him, but if they didnt id guess the best he could do is subsidize* it to keep people from freezing

        They'd hardly have to kill him. The New Labour delegates would spend six months undermining Corbyn's legislative agenda and blocking all his cabinet picks, then announce he'd caused whatever latest horror befell the UK and joined the Tories in a vote of no confidence. Media would be in full melt-down mode from the day of the election to the day he was removed from office, at which point his replacement would be hailed as the second coming.

        But its something of a moot point, since they got to do all this before election day and they still blame Long Corbyn for every stumbling failure of the Labour opposition. Far from killing him, they could just do Normal Politics and achieve what guys like Manchin and Pelosi and The Parliamentarian have done under Biden.
