With the vote in The Contest to replace him, to achieve what is the work of the outgoing leaders hope, in his last weeks in The Job ?

Jeremy Corbyn clearly stated that he in favour of each of the candidates seeking to follow him.

But there are concerns in the last few days were that the Rebecca Long-Bailey-Campaign - supports while officially left the base group in swing - actually, there is a lack of dynamics.

Mrs Long-Bailey has been keen to distance themselves from the "continuity Corbyn" day, preferring to style itself as a "continuity socialist".

But it could be a closer Association with the current leader is necessary to mobilize support, with a last sub-set, it is a long way behind Sir Keir Starmer .

Some prominent "Corbynistas" already have their support for Sir Keir - in particular, the dynamics of the former national co-ordinator (and Corbyn assistant) Laura Parker and journalist/activist Paul Mason .

Despite appearing in the Mr Corbyn was careful not to say explicitly that he supports Long-Bailey's Campaign , but his "absolute support", in the case it is to be a leader, your attitude to Climate Change .

But the look of the Video as you chat to friends about politics amount to a De Facto endorsement.

And there is a very active debate among its supporters, only about how far you pressed your "dividing Lines " - on the UK's EU-exit, on the selection of the members - with Sir Keir in the final stage of the competition.

Jeremy Corbyn offered Rebecca Long-Bailey in his "full support" of its Policy on Climate Change

Some of those close to Mr Corbyn fear, his political legacy is looking shaky and are very keen to support, MS Long-Bailey's-to ensure support - at least - She has a prominent seat in the front.

But how worried should he be about the legacy to?

The YouGov poll suggested that even if Mr Corbyn himself a candidate in this party the election, he would vote, 28% of the members of the' first preference, while Sir Keir would% garner 40.

The unknown question is how far and how fast Sir Keir drive from the Corbyn's agenda would, if he wins.

Some on The Left , as Ms Parker - have been reassured by Sir Keir's "10 commitments", the main obligations from the Corbyn era, as nation-alising rail, post and water, and repealing the anti-Union laws.

But some of his followers - not those directly involved in The Campaign - say, private, that he will move quickly to remove some of the personalities, the in connection with the present leader of the opposition.

Could become a Lisa Nandy ally, Labour's General Secretary ?

you say you are confident that when (not if) he takes over, "bounce" will support the candidate to win him, on the labour's ruling national Executive, which will allow him to be in control of The Party machine.

A new Secretary-General could then be installed - may be Unison Emilie Oldknow - a former party member of the GMB ' s Lisa Johnson is, even though you and your union are the backing Lisa Nandy for the lead.

It is likely, Sir Keir put together a broad front Bank would include some of the discussed of those of The Left , but the "moderates" are likely to be back with Rachel Reeves is spoken of as a shadow Chancellor, a role for Yvette Cooper .

Officially, Sir Keir s-line is that he is taking nothing for granted, and his message is a message of unity.

But Labour MPs from different wings of The Party to speak in the week, the members receive a ballot, you can find the working hypothesis is that the leadership question is settled.
