Who will be the next Labour leader?

[LDC]

Pity that the whole McLibel thing was effectively a put up job by an undercover cop. Talking of undercover cops, how many unsafe convictions compromised by the actions of undercover cops did Starmer preside over while head of the CPS? Over 60 last time I counted.

No, it wasn't a 'put up job' ffs.

 

[fakeplasticgirl]

thoughts on the trio? looking like below at the moment, with L & SC possibly switching

Starmer L
Rayner DL
RLB SC

Thoughts on Lisa nandys chance?

 

[fakeplasticgirl]

I'll stop it when that fucker stops locking my mates up.

I’m sorry to hear that I don’t know enough about what happened but I don’t think the undercover cops thing was starmer’s fault though, was it?

High but I hope she tanks, she is awful.

Thoughts on Lisa nandys chance?

she would have to replace Starmer in that line up as Rayner will be DL and Nandy won't make a SC

 

[treelover]

High but I hope she tanks, she is awful.

Go on, tell us why, she was warning what was happening years ago, set up the centre for towns, etc.

My sources in the Labour party

Sorry this made me laugh

 

[Shechemite]

where was this culture of resistance?

I was in ‘acute day hospital’ recently. Lots of opportunities to resist. And I took them.

 

[Shechemite]

Has Nandy committed to welfare/NHS/social care commitments of the 2019 manifesto?

 

[Shechemite]

I hope she tanks, she is awful.

Because she’s not a Marxist?

TBH I think it's too early to really start to assess chances. We don't know how long Corbyn is going to remain in post, we don't know how the election is going to work (will supporters be allowed this time?).

Edit - is the fucking bbc now emphasising the SIR part or am I paranoid?!

I don’t want to sound like a conspiraloon, but I’ve just checked old bbc articles and they’ve only started calling him SIR keir since he said he was thinking of running for leader...

Probably only calls himself Keir to fool the masses. Check his birth certificate

I met the Communist League candidate for Tottenham before the election. He’s mental. Tried to get him to sort out a trip to Cuba. Still hoping.

 

[Knotted]

Surely Starmer as shadow Brexit secretary shares the responsibility for the election failure and shouldn't stand just as Corbyn and McDonnell aren't.

I've noticed the story on this has changed very swiftly to it being exclusively a problem of leadership, so he's in the clear.

Supporters will be allowed, they're still in the rule book.

Could always join JLM. Mebbe get a holiday in the old country out of it. And a vote in the lab leadership thing.

I suppose the freeze date will become an important issue again? Do you know if members have been told yet when it will be from?

 

[killer b]

They haven't been told yet, no.

Was she fuck. She doesn't know what's happening now. Supported Owen Smith against Corbyn, hasn't served in Shadow Cabinet since the referendum result.

Because she’s not a Marxist?

None of them are Marxists, try again.

 

[brogdale]

They haven't been told yet, no.

Hmm...thanks.
I suppose the left will want it pegged back as far as possible, with the right hoping to gain from 'returners to the flock'?

She understands what’s happening now better than the others.

Her political position is set in stone is it?

I am 100% convinced she does not understand the situation better than the others and I see little reason to believe her politics will shift dramatically, but if you want to convince me that's not the case, please go ahead

You could well be right

 

[SpackleFrog]

I take no pleasure in it. But yes.

 

[Shechemite]

Personally can’t see either RLB or Starmer being to move labour forward from the current mess. Starmer especially.

That's a dreadful logo.

Political logos with arrows, generally dodgy.
