Current Affairs The Labour Party

[Lanolin]

Oh yes, Murdoch and his pals are all on board a Brummy working class girl taking power...

Christ.

Jess Phillips is not the enemy of Labour. The likes of Lansmann - ideological nutcase zealots who betrayed the people they claim to want to help by ignoring the electoral reality in favour of pushing for a ridiculous socialist utopia - are the real enemy of Labour. It's time to wake up to it.

I'd say the real enemy of Labour is an electorate who let kids draw on their ballot paper and allow the tories to get in instead of voting for them personally, but that's just me.

Just bring Blair back. He'd destroy Johnson in PMQ.

Cant see where labour go now. Starmer is tarnished by this. Jess Phillips isn't for me at all

Always thought Corbyn was propped up by a bunch of young hipster lefties who probably have never worked a day in their lives every time his leadership was questioned internally.

Fence sitting, absurd renationalising, and "let's all shake hands" isn't gonna get people on side when stern leadership and clarity was always needed.

Always said...the next leader needs to get to Blair levels of popularity to even get a sniff of being PM

Did a young person take your job or something?

Picking someone with a brain, that believes in the U.K., that understands its own supporters, would be a start.....I fully expect a full dose of revisionism to now break out and say Corbyn wasn’t left enough.....

I'd go for someone with brains and beauty.

Absurd renationalising that is common place across Europe but I get that people don´t like that. So what would you have fought this election on considering Johnson was promising spending on public services and getting Brexit done? What could Labour offer that he wasn´t?

Me and my mates, all working class 20 somethings who you would describe as propping up Corbyn. All worked the last 8 years since we left university. The idea that Corbyn only attracted people who have never done a day´s work in their lives is just lazy and a failure to understand why he even got elected as the leader of the Labour Party in the first place.

Jess Phillips will drive people away, and make no mistake.

 

[OnlyBlueWillDo]

Weak leader, he is a brexiteer, had he stood up to the remainers on his front bench he may well be PM now.

I think in the end his unpopularity did for him as well but I can´t be having these People´s Vote people like Campbell explaining why we lost the working class towns when he´s literally advocating a policy that was at the forefront of the problem.

I see the point about Blair but you can't go back. And remember Iraq.

Politics aside the next leader will either have to be carefully managed like Johnson or media savvy like Blair...

Couldn't care less about Iraq. I am joking about Blair though. Seems an eternity ago we took a labour government for granted

The UK isn’t Europe. That’s the first problem.
