You are not my MP as I live in South Shields but I do work in Newcastle. I very much respect and agree with your decision. The role of an MP is to represent everyone in their constituency not just party activists. I do not believe that the average Labour voter believes Corbyn is a leader who can win a General Election and those in swing seats where elections are won and lost certainly don’t. If the Labour party is to be more than just a pressure group it is important to listen to all voters. I congratulate you both on thinking this through properly before making your decision and on representing your wider constituency and not just those who shout the loudest.
