I can see it now. A stage, a lectern, a snappily dressed drone in a suit with a red tie of course. A suitable catchy labouresque banner. The three finalists. The drone in a suit drones on thanking everyone yada ,yada. In third place a tie, Keir Starmer, Rebecca Long-Bailey and Lisa Nandy... so the winner is....Jeremy Corbyn. Rapturous applause. Applause dies down. With John McDonald as his deputy.... stunned silence as Jezza and Johno hug each other while giving a thumbs up to McClusky and co from the unions.
Another cool story bro |

We need an effective opposition that the public can believe in and which will call the government to account . Corbyn never had a chance of achieving that, the country for better or worse did not want to go that far to the left.
Cunt. (TEF traditional welcome, just in case you were wondering.) |

Seems like he is the right choice to take the party forwards IMO.

A bunch of very sensible policies listed on the BBC news feed. I agree with all of them. But in the spirit of debate, I'd be interested to know what people disagree with and, more importantly, why. Edit: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-politics-52164158 |

I think so too. A left winger with appeal across the party. And I think he'll be able to hold Johnson to account in a way that Corbyn could not. shame about Rayner as deputy mind
Have to admit that I don't know much about her. What are your concerns? |

to be fair I've judged the Rayner book but the cover.
I've seen a couple of interviews where she came across extremely confrontational and rambling rather than calm and coherent. But yes, that's judging far too quickly.

Pinched from somewhere else....
It's... interesting that out of this morning's Financial Times editorial and the new Labour leader's victory speech, the Financial Times editorial is by some distance the more radical.

It'll be like Hoddle and Gorman. Hoddle all calm and collected, Gorman with the passion. |

Rayner comes across as a nasty piece of work. Confrontational for the sake of it.
Starmer. A red version of John Major?
I thought Nandy and/or Phillips would have been a better bet. But I know nothing about politics.

What’s concerning is that 25% of them seemed to still think that RLB, Corbyn version 2, was the right direction to keep going. Anyway Corbyn is the past thankfully.
Starmer comes across as a leader, something i can’t say about the previous 2. That’s half the battle in getting elected to the highest office.

He's a leader, but he also has a firm handle on detail. Johnson is going to have to change tack, because his Bunter-esque flibber flabber isn't going to work any more when the person across the dispatch box is forensically dismantling your ideas. |
