[Politics] Next leader of the Labour party

strong and stable with me, or...
Personally I’m thinking Murray. If you go Starmer I’d worry going with Rosena as it looks all too London. I also like Murray’s no nonsense approach to the question of the Union. Labour can not afford to brexit itself over Scotland. It’s going to need to win seats in Scotland in 5 years time end of.

Not the thread of course, because we NS Chatters have enormous stamina in such matters, but is this leadership thing still going on? Surely this must have been dreamed up as a way to pay outgoing leaders a three month bonus as a leaving present!

I saw Starmer on the Andrew Neil show last night. It confirmed two things to me:
1. that Starmer is pretty impressive
2. that Johnson was gutless in avoiding subjecting himself to the same interviewer

Just watched that interview with Keir Starmer and I was very impressed. I thought he came across as sensible and level headed. I saw him recently when he was up against all the candidates and thought he came across as a little flustered but I think he has polished up his act and I think he handled Andrew Neil as well as anyone I have seen recently........certainly better than Bluster Boris who cannot handle the same sort of ' interrogation ' interviewer.

Extreme centerists like myself feel we just need an opposition to hold these crooks to account. Look what Labours veer to the left has done to Britain, we're on the brink...

As a non Labour voter and someone who opposes everything Corbyn stands for despite being about as manual worker as you can get, I'm shocked that he's still in power and hasn't gone yet.
I just don't understand the reason why he's still in power unless it's to ensure his replacement is going to follow in his footsteps which is a total disaster for the Labour Party and political landscape of the UK. We need an effective opposition to keep the party in power, in some sort of control.
Every time I can think of a party getting trounced, the leaders not lasted a day. Here's Corbyn still in power months later.
Doesn’t bode well IMHO. Both for his replacement and for the Labour Party's reputation for not getting rid immediately after that shit show of an election.
But what do I know.
As a Labour member I’m actually very pleased you’re not.
Corbyn is in ‘power’ still because the democratic process of the party, says he should be.
There’s an election, for the leader. Once that Is decided, then he will step down.
What do you think should happen?

It’s frightening how many NSCers have been suckered in by this anti Semitic,terrorist supporting cult.

I’m no Tory.
Let's imagine Corbyn was PM and died in the job. The idea that the nation would have to be put on hold for 4 months while labour have a nudie mud wrestle with the process of internal democracy is rediculous. As that little bird in the Rose and Crown used to say to me, "faster, FFS, faster!".
As noted above.....
Michael Foot's manifesto was described as the longest suicide note in history. It is heartwarming that Corbyn's labour have found fit to channel that moment.
Hopefully Starmer will sweep away all this stupidity when he takes over. He'll have to do it carefully, or the thicky militant lefties might notice what he's up to. Fingers crossed.
