The minute Adnan Hussain said he thinks trans women are biological men, Corby and Sutana should have been standing together say “We appreciate and will continue to appreciate Adnan’s support on Palestine but he’s no longer a party member”. If the media is going to portray you as woke Stalin anyway, do woke Stalinism (positive).

What you need to understand about Corbyn and some of the factions involved is that they are extreme believers in democracy, to a fault. They would see this move as fundamentally anti-democratic and it would have potential for some groups that want a democratic party to split from the project without first allowing it to fester into a problem that demonstrably can’t be ignored.

One of the problems in creating this party which caused it to languish in talks for years as just an idea, to my understanding, was the concerns people had that having Corbyn at the center of it made it undemocratic by default.
