Unlike Long-Bailey who was destroyed by Neil, exposing why she not be leader of the Labour party .

Agree. Highly impressive media performer who has an air of authority about her. Need to hear more about what she’d actually do, like the others standing, but she could be the one to watch.

Labour is already showing signs of not learning lessons. How 22 MP's think Emily Thornberry should be leader is totally beyond me and now some very prominent Momentum supporting MP's are backing Richard Burgon for deputy rather than Angela Rayner. WTAF. It has to be Starmer and Rayner. They...

Definitely won’t happen under RLB. That’s why, imho, essential Labour doesn’t choose her, the candidate the Tories most want to win. Much more likely under Starmer or Nandy - who I’m warming too and has been impressive.

For Labour, the next election is already lost. Jeremy Corbyn's legacy to the party is it will be out of power for the best part of a decade. Labour must elect someone who can lead them to become a party which presents as an alternative government, rather than a party of protest which its become...

One of the first acts as new leader, whoever that is, must be to sack Milne.
