Whilst I’d love to see a Woman or someone with protected characteristics take over at Labour, Starmer is the only candidate who can pretty much guarantee crushing Johnson at the next election. Get him in.
It’s not often I don’t vote Labour but if RLB & that baffoon Burgon get the Leadership of the party, I might never vote for them again. I already blame Corbyn for giving that horrid Johnson 5 years, he’ll win the next two general elections if RLB & the suicidal Unions get their way. Bonkers!
It’s so sad that pragmatism will be such a small part of Labour member’s methodology in choosing a new leader. It’s all about idealism and if someone like RLB or Clive Lewis gets picked, Boris may as well have his 2024 election winning party right now.

Of nasty self-serving filth.
“....it was reported in The Times that Theresa May's resignation honours list was held up by a row over her decision to give Mann a life peerage and that the independent watchdog on Lords appointments warned it would set a dangerous precedent and could be seen as a...
Ken Clarke wonderfully dismantled Johnson, his polices and this particular Tory government on 5Live with Pienaar this morning and showed them up for the second hand scam dealers they are. Sadly, there are no more honourable one nation Tories like him left in the government to hold them to account.
Of course you need some principles or you are just end up being Boris Johnson.
You must have leadership, compromise and strategic thinking too.
The best way of introducing some socialist principles into government is slowly starting from the centre. Corbyn was not able to understand that sort...
I think the word collaborator is wrong. The implication is that he worked with the IRA to achieve their aim of achieving a United Ireland through terrorism and violence. That’s collaboration and it’s totally untrue.
He is and was a pacifist sympathetic to an oppressed minority and open to the...
Yes. An odd and ill judged comparison to make by the poster you quote. They clearly dislike Corbyn but why lie about qualities he has when there are so many he hasn’t!
Here are a few:
1. Lack of self awareness.
2. Lack of concern with image.
3. An idealogue.
4. Disabled by principles.

I agree that Jess Phillips won’t get it. But I do think the Tories would be very pleased if she was leader.
She is a great MP and comes across as a good person but is she leadership material? Also, the right wing press would destroy her with Tory approved misogyny and classist hate rhetoric...
I don’t think Boris will **** Brexit up as far as many of the public are concerned. We’ll leave on the 31st Jan and he’ll sell the lie that Brexit is done (although it’s the beginning), those former Labour northern voters will fall for that hook line and sinker. Trade agreements could also take...
Tony Blair did and he was all of the above.
We’ll have left in the minds of those Labour voters so Brexit won’t be an issue (although we’ll be still agreeing trade deals well in to the next government’s tenure.)
After 5 years of Boris, Labour will just need someone central with integrity and...
