who's your choice for labour leader?

Starmer comes across as the most intelligent, and intelligence was what was sorely lacking in the likes of Corbyn & McDonnell in recent months to the extent that the Labour voters in those heartlands that were lost to the Tories apeared to have lost faith in anything they said, and felt they were being ignored.

What any new Labour leader (and the Labour Party Executive) needs to do is separate Brexit from all of the other issues confronting the country. Accept that we are coming out, and question sensibly anything that needs to be challenged about the fine details. THEN go full steam at the Tories regarding the domestic policies bring in/bring forward, where those policies conflict with the 'common good' (for want of a better phrase). Only then, I believe, will the LP regain the ground lost in the General Election.

I hope that explains things for you, neil, and what I look for as a lifelong Labour voter. I don't want to see Labour politicians make assholes of themselves again in front of the cameras, which they have done in recent times.

Keir Starmer and Lady Nugee have screwed the Labour Party, which no longer represents the working class, and probably hasn’t for quite a while. Starmer was without doubt the architect of the second referendum nonsense, aided and abetted by the ‘white van man’ hater Thornberry who appears to have done everything she can since to try and make herself appear more human. I particularly liked this little bit on her Wiki page...”When Thornberry was seven, her parents divorced and she had to leave their home with her mother and two brothers. After this, she relied on free school meals and food parcels, and their cats were euthanised to save money.[6]”...you couldn’t make this up...but these are the people, just like Corbyn and all the other privately educated Labour elite who have not a clue about life outside of London....

Keri Starmer ladies and gents. Knows nothing outside London.....

Prior to becoming an MP, Keir was a human rights lawyer. He co-founded Doughty Street Chambers in 1990, and conducted cases in a wide range of international courts, including the European Court of Human Rights.
Keir also worked to help eradicate the death penalty in a number of countries (particularly in the Caribbean and Africa) and continues to work closely on a voluntary basis with theDeath Penalty Project, most recently (October 2016) seeking to end the death penalty in Taiwan.
From 2002-2007 Keir worked as human rights advisor to the Policing Board in Northern Ireland, monitoring compliance of the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) with the Human Rights Act.
In 2008 Keir was appointed Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) and Head of the Crown Prosecution Service for England and Wales, a role he held until 2013.
After stepping down as DPP, Keir worked with Doreen Lawrence and victims’ groups to draft a victims’ law, which was included in Labour’s 2015 election manifesto. Keir continues to Chair the Advisory Board of LimeCulture, an organisation which supports a professional response to victims of sexual violence, and introduced a Private Members Bill (the Victims of Crime etc. Bill) in 2015.
Keir studied law at Leeds University and St Edmund Hall, Oxford, and has published several books including Three Pillars of Liberty: Political Rights and Freedoms in the UK (1996) and European Human Rights Law (1999).

The problem is, for a long while you kinda suspect that Labour folk have assumed all of the racist objectionable types were confined to the Tories, which fit the narrative of them as horrible troglodytes. Alas, it seems quite a few of them were/are also Labour folk, which creates the dilemma of how to talk with respect to people whose respect is scarcely warranted.
