The Next Labour leader

[PNWokingham]

Shame Chuka Umunna (excuse spelling) left the party, he's intelligent and presentable, maybe there's a way back for him. I didn't like his second referendum obsession but rate him as a potential leader.

and if Laboiur are in the grip of Momentum after leadership changes - Chuka taking the lead at Lib Dems, after finding a seat, could mean LD are the main challenge party for the next election as Labour are in danger of going the route of the dinosaurs!

Lisa Nandy has said she's standing, not a prayer of getting it , shame she's be a very credible candidate held her seat in a heavily leave constituency.

The choice of who becomes Labour leader now and how they perform in any future GE’s could be 2 separate issues if boris fails to perform, all parties peak and trough and enough people have quite clearly stated the choice at this GE was between the lesser of 2 evils.
boris hasn’t suddenly turned in to some great political icon.
His legacy will have to be based on the future as his past is littered with problems.

Labour's future is in their own hands, nothing much to do with the Conservatives. They need a complete rebuild otherwise life in the political wilderness will become their self created punishment.

The Tories are the party for the dinosaurs, the younger generations favoured Labour.

You’re going to have to start putting comments on your links or you’ll have the forum pedant accusing you of lazy posting.

Who 's that then ? they're probably blocked ?.?

Hopefully over the next few years we’ll see Dan Jarvis come to the front and be in with a chance of becoming leader.

I think Labour need a good leader ASAP.
To hold Boris to account while Brexit happens.
Jezza needs to go now as he has presided over a very split party and it needs sorting out.

But as the leader of the opposition Jeremy is earning about twice the money of a normal MP, why would he resign that?
Can they challenge him?

I know May can’t be challenged for another few months as she won her challenge fairly recently ;-)

I would hope he would do what’s best for the party.
Not his bank balance.
I think they get a payoff anyway.

What’s May got to do with it.

Had the 'Party' mattered rather than Momentum he'd have gone long ago.

Why? Look at the 2017 GE and what he did! If anything that gave him a mandate to continue.
They’ve got plenty of time to replace him and if they do it too quickly (imo) there’s less chance of dislodging the momentum grip.
Let the arguments go on for a couple of months, let it get worse publicly and then move forward.
He’s gone too quick and 100% of the blame goes on him, yes he’s responsible for a fair share, but other factors need outing as well.

Always a dig at someone ?

Its difficult to hold a government with an 80 seat majority to account and especialy when the descenters have been purged.

Well it’s true, so it suggests that if anything Labour need to be much less progressive and more “dinosaur” like to get in.

I hope they get someone with a bit of gravitas and serious knowledge of economics and International Trade/business. I shudder at their contemplation that Rebecca L-B is a possibility.
