1. In 2010, Labour made the disastrous blunder of allowing a protracted leadership contest. During which time, the Tories and Lib Dems seized control of the narrative.

2. In 2015, exactly the same thing happened again.

Corbyn is staying to prevent history repeating itself.
Exactly the same journalists who pointed this out at the time have, all too predictably, done a total 180 and are furious Corbyn hasn't already vanished from public life.

Either the media has the worst case of collective amnesia I've ever seen, or their entire M.O. is bad faith.
Yet again, journalists continue to act like THEY control the Labour Party and THEY choose its leader. I've never seen a group of people with more self-importance and less self-awareness in my life.
