The Next Labour leader

[Jacko_G]

After his months of campaigning on Facebook and his anti Brexit stance I suggest 2blue.

Then again he may be in a darkened room with a full.media blackout in place.

Keir Starmer is seen as a remain politician, I think that will taint him and Labour for years to come if he became leader

Depending on how Brexit goes in the next 5 years being seen as a Remain politician might not be a bad thing come the next GE.

I'd suggest anybody has to be a step up on Corbyn.

I know the name of Blair is toxic but a review of how he turned Labour around is worth a view. Forget the man, and have a look at the early year when he brought in so many socially aware policies. His foreign policy, even in the early years, wasn't great but his inward looking achievements were excellent. He was far more socialist than many remember.

I believe there were others, within the party, that advised him well and kept him on the then party line at the start... Think they lost direction towards the end of his time and he started treading his own path... Sadly, Labour seem lacking in good people at the top table presently...

I read a biography about his early years. Brown, although a friend in the early years, was very divisive as a Chancellor and actually made leadership very hard for Blair.

They left or they were squeezed out, Blair's success was hiss downfall in the end.. the secret of success is to know when to hand over and keep the "momentum" going.
But seriously they were too fringe to be acceptable and if you cannot see that from a branding point of view you will never gain market share.
Be positive about today, today is the day that that Boris has no excuses, no one will hold him back he will have to deliver. It doesn't feel like it but I am a winner.. if successful I benefit, if unsuccessful I have the pleasure at saying I told you so and hearing the fantastic excuses to follow .. will it be the death of right wing politics ... nah

Most of the problem is showed with this clip

Mainly people watching piers Morgan and reading the sun

I wouldn't disagree with that... But both, were more men of the right rather than the left... Which was why they were more acceptable to the electorate as a whole...

He was a breath of fresh air when he first came on the scene, especially with an outdated, greedy and arrogant Tory Party. Sadly he ended up with blood on his hands

To me, Yvette Cooper is the strong, sensible type that would have pretty broas appeal - and wouldn't be frightened to take Bozo on. Only possible 'blot' might her 'poor choice of husband'!

Jack Dee had it right, once they start you cant shut them up

Just heard a very good point by Chris Mason on Radio 5 that the way the party is currently structures it is very much for a far left type leader. So if you got a Kier Starmer type then there would be a lot of infighting and squabbling that would play straight into the Tories hands. Some momentum types are pushing Angela Rayner who I personally think would not lay a blow on Boris and they would be in the same position at the next election. Jess Phillips is being mentioned a bit and I do like her, but not sure if all the party would support her in its current guise. So unless the party starts to reconfigure itself then you could argue it does not overly mater who the next leader is.

That was absolutely pathetic. Less squabbles in a primary school playground!

I saw some of that when it was happening. The woman on the right was clueless, oblivious to what had just happened. She was embarrassing herself.

Funniest moment was when Piers Morgan was asking Rachel Johnson a question about Boris and she refused to answer, she didn't want to just speak about Boris and his personal life. Jacqui Smith just turned to her and said, 'why else do you think your are here' with a look of absolute disdain. Big intake of breath all round, very funny.

The next leader is, hopefully, someone we haven't seen for the last 12 months. They will have been sat on the back benches, keeping their head down and waiting out the storm that has been happening. No one on the Labour front bench should be anywhere near the job, nor any position of responsiblity going forwards. They have all failed disastrously.

The worst decision labour have made in the leadership wasn't even Corbyn

Ed miliband
David should have been elected and would have provided a very good candidate to run against David Cameroon.

Alas he has left politics and we are worse off for that

And there you have it. Country rejected Corbyn's hard left policies, so you plebs need ever harder left wing policies.

Do these people ever speak to anyone outside their 'circle' and listen to what people say.

if they did DC would never have done the EU vote and TM would never have called an election. Just hope labour move back nearer to the centre.

They'll certainly need to. It was said last night that it's a 10 year government as no party has ever clawed back a loss as big as this to gain power in the next election
