Labour leadership

[Sprocket.]

I have always lived in the Doncaster and Rotherham area and know too well how any Labour Party member gets voted in however ineffective they are.
They once had a conservative mp from Doncaster. So it is still seen as the most right wing town in South Yorkshire!

Sadiq Khan (who was my MP in Tooting ) is interested in a run at Mayor, he seemed a pretty decent sort when I lived in his constituency.

He seems ok, but does he have the charisma?

 

[Sprocket.]

We currently have, Ed, Caroline Flint and Rosie Winterton at least Rosie went to school here.

IMO I see Cooper and Jarvis being front runners.

charisma got us Boris..

Cooper will be appalling on the welfare issues.

Get a grip. She hasn't got a leadership bone in her body.

fucking charisma. is that what you think went wrong?

Influencing policy; people voted UKIP, so the Tories and Labor changed their policies. Not that hard to work out, is it?

And that influenced policy how? You appear to be mistaking UKIP's quasi-legitimation of the existing anti-immigration debate for "influencing policy". The policy pre-exists UKIP for both main parties.

However, spunking cock does nothing.

Because the withdrawal of the electorate from the electoral system does nothing.

Jesus

The fact that Picarda "liked" it says it all.

 

[ViolentPanda]

He's no Bernie Grant sadly

Few are, unfortunately.

Shiny , charismatic,centrist but too smooth , public school + "lite" ? Remember reading that hes repeatedly shown himself to be not sturdy/resilient enough re: detail ?

He's also a gobshite who put himself forward as "the voice of Brixton" after the "Thatcher's Dead!" party, voicing a pro-Thatcher sentiment very few Brixtonites actually felt.

of course not, but it plays a part, have a look at the Reddit page, its very instructive.

isn't he the Hammer of the Squatter too or am I confusing him with some other wank?

Do you think Cameron is charismatic?

No, he did put his name to an anti-Squatter press release, and voted for the criminalisation of squatting of residential property.

Forgot about that

now that Galloway is out, is there anyone in parliament with charisma? Cameron's delivery has all the charisma of a finance director addressing the shareholders. With powerpoint slides.

Where did I say I endorsed her, just saying what I thought the members would go for, because Ed was obviously a storming choice too was he not!

Cooper has been known to speak like a normal human, as does Burnham now and then, which would make a nice change. Better than Rachel Reeves - if you were going to make a futuristic thriller about a robot specifically designed to never be capable of developing conscious thought or human emotions she'd be the perfect lead. But I don't hold out much hope for the substance being anything other than reheated New Labour under either of them.

A new leader should come out robustly against TTIP, its not a bubble issue, it will affect for instance sovereignty in a big way.

Well that's Cator Park Girls School for you.

No one cares. FFs.

I've tried with you. But this is beyond.

I was going to mention that hague done a funny speech one during the brown era, but on checking the internet says he's retired this year. From politics at least.

Ok and then leave the EU if TTIP happens, isn't modified sufficiently?

 

[Mr Moose]

We are all going to hate any new Labour Leader. The country will hate the new leader. The Labour Party will hate their new leader.

So get someone to do it as a purely managerial position. They wouldn't have to believe in it, just do it well.

Mourinho?

 

[Kaka Tim]

How about getting in nicola strugeon on a secondment?

you know, often when I look at the make up of the modern PLP thats my first thought. They need more fucking manegerial sorts. lol

Popular choice, but she might get fed up of spending so much time in England - I mean given Labour's showing there wouldn't be much call for her to go North anytime soon. She'd have to just give Scotland an occasional wistful glance over the border.

As will, somewhat ironically, those cock a hoop new SNP MPs. 'What? I have to spend how much time in bloody England?'

Yeah yeah. Freedom for Tooting.
