Funnily enough I heard from someone unconnected with the press several days ago that McDonnell was "frustrated" with Corbyn.
And when Corbyn was elected leader my friends who sit in his part of the political spectrum were obviously pleased to have captured the leadership but dismayed it was Corbyn - a "paperweight" - rather than McDonnell.
For what little it's worth I'd hope and expect to be able to work with John McDonnell as leader of the Labour Party. And I have intermittently worked with his team on tax stuff. I can't imagine working with Corbyn.
