Shadow chancellor John McDonnell said Mr Corbyn was "not going anywhere"

You can say that again, and the Labour party's going nowhere along with him.

Not Tom Watson, I just can't over the fact that he was at Glastonbury at the weekend. Even if the vote had gone the other way, he should have been available at the weekend to help deal with any of the fallout. And when he knew what the result was he should have cancelled going to stand shoulder to shoulder with Corbyn . I am furious that the Labour Party has thrown away the chance to show statesmanship and leadership to the country in the midst of the Tory infighting.Even if they think Corbyn is not fit to be the leader, now is not the time for this political posturing. Cameron, Johnson, Gove and Farage should be facing the worst grilling of their political careers, and the opposition should be looking strong and sure, and all we have got is playground behaviour which looks set to destroy the Labour party, and the ones who got us into this mess are getting away with it.
But to answer the OP question, Dan Jarvis is my contender.

Will hazard a guess......Tom Watson.

As we have a who to replace Cameron thread, thought we may as well speculate as to who ( if anyone) Labour voters ( or any voters) fancy for the job? Should he go, or should he sweat it out?
