K “9%” Starmer finally throws his hat in the ring for the leadership election.

The problem is he’s not female, black, lesbian, disabled, in transition and therefore not really suitable under the quota rules.

......and what would the (labour) man on the Clapham omnibus think of a 'Sir' as his PM?

Or a Lady?

Or a black lesbian pansexual being?

Now Jess Phillips has thrown her hat into the ring stating she’ll work for re-entry to the EUSSR if elected and in power.

Obviously Labour’s Suicide Manifesto seminar training sessions are exceptionally effective at converting commonsense and awareness of electorate’s wishes into a psychiatric condition.

JP has quickly forgotten the fate of the hygienist who was making similar noises before the 2019 GE which ended up as the much-vaunted “Peoples’ Vote“ verdict on that scheme.

None of the potential leaders have realised why they lost: all are trotting out variations of the manifesto which lost them December '19; Labour's chance of creating a Party with credibility in the House retreats even further, let alone winning a GE.

OMG ! A Grauniad quote?!

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/20 ... ates-stand

However it’s a potted bio of the current crop of Corbyn luvvies and their excuses for what went wrong last time and how it’s all going to be so much better with them at the controls.

Lots of “I said that but I really meant the other thing”. :-s

None of the potential leaders have realised why they lost:
I have listened to what they have to say and read what they have written, I am left with the impression that the potential leaders are not very intelligent or particularly well educated people.
Most of their opinions are nonsense, as you say they don't appear to understand why they lost, preferring to think that it was Brexit related rather than their sheer un-electability.
If the Momentum hard left regain power after Corbyn it will be interesting to see how many moderate Labour MPs will stick with the party.

The big problem is that much as we might admire Mr Johnson, I have a feeling that we would benefit from a good opposition, it doesn't look like we are going to get that with these people.

Har-har. So true.

I don't know why they're bothering at all.

A bigger shower of fcukwits has rarely been assembled in the history of UK politics.
Hands up who wants to lead us to the next unforeseen (but only by Labour) disaster...

Who cares who the next Labour leader might be? They are a bunch of gobby brainwashed socialists, of varying degrees of intelligence, trying to hang on to and impose their outdated beliefs on millions of people.

All I care is that Labour are not in power and never will be.

"Who cares who the next Labour leader might be? " - well I do, Cape. Not everyone wants a government operating without check and there ain't any other party that could form an opposition.

Once upon a time, ordinary people- "small c conservatives", that's shop keepers, soldiers, office workers- voted conservative.

When the Labour Party appeared, they poached, rightly, a lot of these former conservative voters, and rightly too. They campaigned for the rights and benefits of the proletariat.

Now, Labour has forgotten the workers.

Not interested. The workers are Gammons. Thickoes. Racists. Xenophobes, misguided....misinformed.

But now, "The Labour Party:

ARE interested in the "interested".
ARE interested in the woke....
The gays....but let's not forget the trans, ffs😂
The BAMEs
The unemployed
The young
The gullible....ie the graduates, who've been sheep-dipped by their lefty lecturers since they left their mothers arms.
The workshy
The Terrified Gretas...

"Labour" has gone from being the party of common labour, to being the party of the minorities, the wankers and the woke.

"LABOUR", of which I am a part, has been completely ignored- as has the common working Englishman.

The party of LABOUR, has strayed so far from the true path, that they will never find it again.

A committee of idiots, conspiring for a hundred years, couldn't have gone it this wrong..... and never a sign of contrition.

If you look at the backgrounds of Long Bailey, Jess Phillips, Angela Raynor, they are all rubbish, not bright enough or holding qualifications to be shop assistants, only people as thick as they are could support the aims of the Marxist momentum.
They will never get a decent leader because there is no one with any sense, background or nous within their movement.

The champagne socialists in Islington don't have the faintest idea about working people, they are just a posh protest group using the Labour Party for their own ends, can anyone explain what Diane Abbott has ever done, no of course they can't. Jumbo Thornbury just proves how dreadful they are every time she speaks, and Keir Stamar still wants to stop Brexit.

They just can't field any decent candidates at all, they are all rubbish.

Diane Abbott has explored the subject of mathematics and discovered new rules which have lain undiscovered for centuries!

There are champagne socialists here but amusingly enough the working people I know in Islington, the ones holding down real jobs, utterly despise people like Jumbo and Abbott, and in December voted Conservative or Liberal - but never Labour. And laugh when the present shower of candidates talk about a return to power for Labour.

Wrong-Daily managed to scupper her chances this evening on MSM waxing lyrical about the sterling qualities of the late lamented leader and how she’d repackage the policies which lost them GE 2019.

She never had a chance.

These dumpling, idealistic wankbags have reached the low point that was characterised by Derek "Degsy" Hatton, the leader of "Militant", back in the eighties.

Now they need an interim leader, to break the hold of 'Momentum, aka Militant, aka idiot Leftyism', to be followed later on, by a proper Tory leader, like Blair.
