Long-Bailey is also bloody awful

Another one of those MPs who comes across better when you mute the telly.

 

[abelard]

you should take whoever’s advice it was to pop along to your local CLP to find that our for yourself

Nah... indolent pouting every time Twitter affirms what we want to believe is the British Way

I like Clive Lewis myself.

No doubt someone will come and tell me how bad he is as well though.

They will disparage any possible Labour leader, then get back to “Corbyn should be replaced by someone else” in a couple of pages.

i reckon it'll be emily thornberry

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Not compared to the Government front bench she isn’t.

What does she have going for her?

I always thought Andy Burnham would have been a good shout.

Yeah, with you on that one.

All politicians will have some major flaws if you look deep. Burham has a questionable voting record from the Blair days, but he'd walk a majority for labour imo.

She can talk dead loud and look angry while doing it Bruce.

Genuinely curious. I know she's shadow business secretary, and doesn't appear to have any business pedigree, so it's not immediately obvious why she's even the best person for her current role, much less that of leading the government..

Decent man. He stood for London mayor and would have been a good one.

they really don’t, and you should take whoever’s advice it was to pop along to your local CLP to find that our for yourself

....the Party is now run by a left-wing membership who select union officials to be MPs and even elect the Party leader. i’m a Labour voter, but I recognise the Party alienate many traditional Labour voters. i’m frustrated because to win, this Labour Party needs appeal to people who voted Tory in previous elections.

 

[orly]

Ain't that the truth?

*isn't

That'll be €40 please

I always thought Andy Burnham would have been a good shout.

....a politician with values and decency. The Labour membership selecting Corbyn over Burnham says it all. Bit like being offered Lineker or Brett Angel and taking Angel.

Burnham saw the direction this Labour Party was going and got out.
