Well, I suppose after May guaranteed her own party's stability through the DUP, for the time being at least, the cracks in the PLP would come under focus again.
If Labour's strong(er than expected) showing in 2017 was of Corbyn's making, and I think it probably was at least in part due to his appeal to younger voters, then it's no surprise that he's emboldened to take on opposition to his leadership with renewed vigour.

Perhaps not, Naomi, although to be sure his fans wanted him to be PM -- and only as PM could we truly see how well he would have stood up to their promises. As it is, we'll have to wait until the next election to find out. And next time there isn't quite so much ground to make up, so who knows what will happen? I'd expect that his opponents will, at least, not make the mistake of underestimating Corbyn again.

If the Labour party has any sense at all, come the next election he’ll be toast. There’s no doubt that, like other megalomaniacs who are and have been capable of whipping up the masses into a frenzy, he’s a charismatic speaker who, aided and abetted by many news outlets, the BBC included, managed to temporarily paper over the vast chasms in the Labour party, convincing the naïve that his extraordinary money tree really did exist and that he would champion their cause in stymieing Brexit, so his success wasn’t as a result of his opponents under-estimating him – they were never in any doubt about Mr Corbyn’s ambitions - but rather of them under-estimating the gullibility of those who have never witnessed the reality of life under the sort of regime that Corbyn would like to create and who really thought the great socialist revolution they so foolishly crave was about to begin.
