Just (briefly) googled the Diane Abbott thing and didn’t see any online bullying. Just something about apparently telling her to fuck off. Is that it?

Hahahaha! Oops.

That's some of it. She lied about telling Abbott to 'fuck off' because she thought that would look good to her mates in the media, I can't trawl through Twitter but I've witnessed her there and on telly agree with and join in with people slagging her off. Then you'll get some pious words from her about women supporting women and how she'll always back up her sisters. She's honestly, genuinely bloody awful.

Just as an aside, people with usernames like tankiejack supporting labour online, what a time to be alive

DA - Graun : " Jess Phillips MP never told me to fuck off. What was extraordinary is that she made a big deal about telling people she had. Nobody ever checked back with me. If they had I’d have said no, she didn’t. "
its just endless with Phillips, from the lies about her background / husband / wealth etc, to this kind of mindless bullshit - cynicism and dishonesty seem to define her - on more practical level, from the " I'm going to stab him in the front" claim onwards, her attention-desperate opposition to Corbyn from the get go means she has zero chance with current membership

There's always been tankies in the Labour Party. I don't see the problem.

Yeah, but they used to have to call themselves peoples peace front or across borders love venture or something. I'd be quite happy if they were forced to do that again instead of being proud. The arseholes.
Starmers last act as DPP was to bring in a maximum 10 year stretch for benefit fraud, nice
though not sure if it was for conspiracy, gangs etc,
I watch Sky News a lot, Goodall appears to have some real insights, they also did a long series into the deprived parts of the UK.

Well it looks to me like there isn't a suggested person that someone on here does not dislike for one reason or another.
Maybe it is about the purity of driven snow.

Air of bewilderment model's own
RLB will be the current leadership's preference, won't she? Whether that helps her more than it hinders her I don't know. Seems intelligent and quick thinking but rather cold and robotic - can't see her winning wider public approval.
The 'Corbynism proven a failure' lobby will no doubt want Starmer. I don't think he's the most unpleasant of the centrists but he'd be a disaster, and anyway he'd not get majority support from the current membership, would he?
I'd probably vote Rayner if I had such a vote to use. Though really, does she have the experience? (I know, paradox, because so many of those with long service are fucking awful - so whoever it is will be relatively green.)
Burgon seems thick as mince - wouldn't even mention him if they hadn't - mystifyingly - seen fit to put him up for the TV debate.

RLB seems intelligent?!
She’s so scripted.

One of the Twitter comments - ‘Total sociopath!’
Either way she’s a crass loud mouth mess.

Not a Girly Swot, but I like them....
Her nickname is Rebecca Wrong-Daily, and she has made some howlers, but the field is not exactly replete with fantastic performers with the right(ish) politics, remain/leave balance, and who can appeal to both the membership - or half of it - and the world outside.
I think their biggest problem is who will put themselves forward - and who decides to sit out the shit show.

In My Defence I was left Unsupervised
Labour has managed to paper over its cracks a lot more successfully than the Tories of late. However given the sheer magnitude of their failure at the election things are going to come to the fore, The centrists will want to purge the leftists, the leftists will want to purge the centrists. There will be enough blame for everyone. I don't have any idea who will be the next Labour leader but he/she is going to have a lot of work to do if they want to be remotely ready for the next election.
The race begins … and the next Labour leader is likely to be a woman

She was the rebecca long-bailey or laura pidcock of the miliband era, pumped up as a future leader, owen jones wanted her on the ballot in 2015 as a soft left compromise the left could work with instead of standing its own candidate.
