Who's your favourite?

[ichkeria]

Corbyn and McDonnell want Rebecca Long-Bailey.
I could make a seriously un-PC joke about that but I won’t.

[youngmafbog]

Yes, but I think that will be her problem. Those two are now toxic so any recommendation from them is as bad as one from toxic Bliar.

[davebro]

Please NOT Emily Thornberry!

[ichkeria]

It might not be toxic with the membership or people who want Corbyn sans beard. That’s why there is possibly a real showdown coming because it’s obvious the members are seriously out of touch not just with the PLP but the voters.

YMB: "My favourite would be Abacus. Five more years of amusement :-) " - too much to hope for! Sadly!

[emmie]

this Jess Phillips i can hearing/reading about seems
like a runner, front i don't know but if a bloke
i would put Keir Starmer up for the job

[anneasquith]

What a pity ,I thought this was a serious question :=(

[Gromit]

After my recent predictions, all I can say for certain is that the next leader will be a woman or Kier Starmer.

[bhg481]

How about Len Mcclusky? He's got a proven track record of bringing the railways to a grinding halt, so he's well qualified to bring the country to a halt.

//He's got a proven track record of bringing the railways to a grinding halt //

um, no he hasn't. railway membership of the T&GWU (of which LM was the national secretary from 1990) has never been significant.

[youngmafbog]

So what is your thought then Anne, or just come on to troll?

[JimF]

Difficult to imagine a Sir being leader of the Labour Party.

[emmie]

why not..

[naomi24]

Lisa Nandy? Who she den?

[emmie]

she was on Andrew Marr show this morning, she is a candidate, admitted that the Labour party got it so wrong, so that;s a start.

[naomi24]

Thanks Emmie.

[emmie]

I thought she came across quite well on AM show, didn't realise that she is 40, doesn't look or sound it...

[Rosetta]

Keir Starmer seems the most promising. When I have seen Ms Long-Bailey interviewed she didn't seem to have an original thought in her head so I am not surprised she is the favourite of the far left. I like Jesse Phillips's passion but I find her too shrill and I am not sure she is potential PM material. Interesting times

[tonyav]

That David Lammy bloke would be a good laugh.

[emmie]

no to David Lammy, he is another liability..
