:labour: Where now for Labour?

Keir Starmer myself.

Only because Margaret Thatcher wasn’t an option :wink:

Thoroughly decent sentiments from a thoroughly decent man.

Results announced tomorrow.

I still dont see how Keir is on such short odds.

We"ll see if the bookies are always right.

You rarely see a poor bookie.

This is true, but I wonder whether they’re considering the left wing majority in the membership

Starmer has been nailed on for some time, surely? :thinking:

By the press and the bookies.

Probably wrong, but I just don’t think he’s that popular with the membership.

Are any of the surviving candidates popular with the membership :smile::smile:

RLB has the best chance to beat Keir. She’s not great either.

Most of the Labour membership is on the left. I’d expect them to voter for her.

Even those that might be thinking Keir as a safe candidate will have difficulty reconciling that with his unelectable Brexit position.

It’s fucking typical of labour that they finally get someone who could actually change things, give him a decent mandate in the party, saddle him with a suicidal brexit policy, and throw him to the wolves. To be honest it makes little difference who they put in now, the chance has gone for the foreseeable.

Yep.

Here is the first land mine for the next labour leader

Say yes and you are complicit say no and you have turned your back on the nation in its hour of need

Nicely done

He’s created enough of his own.

Keir it is.

In answer to the thread’s question, a fucking dead end and plenty of Brexit ammunition for the Boris at the next election.

Wholly predictable appointment, and the best one.

Now to actually try to hold the Tory party to account.

Captain Beige.

Compared to the Trumps, Boris’ etc. Yes. Against Major not so much.
Caretaker for a bit?

Ha.
