Update – Jeremy Corbyn's spokesman says the Labour leader will "contest any leadership challenge"

To be honest, I suspect this is going to be a doomed challenge, and the more likely outcome is a formal split between the Corbyn led Labour party and the Parliamentary Labour party, though the way the politics has been in recent weeks and months who knows how things will pan out, a Leadsom led Tory Party and Corbyn winning another leadership contest seems like the optimal situation for a major realignment in UK politics.
What will help Corbyn is what is in the tweet below, a vote on Trident surely will help Corbyn with his supporters, I don’t think the timing of the vote could be any more helpful for Corbyn.
