Trick question, Labour has a lot of Dicks.

Which reminds me of the Spitting Image sketch from around 1986 when Labour chose the red rose as its symbol.

Interviewer - "So why did you choose a rose"
Kinnock puppet - "Because it perfectly represents the Labour Party. Looks good at the top but a load of pricks underneath".

Creagh's withdrawn from leadership race.

A strong Government needs an equally strong opposition I just cannot see the Labour Party doing anything credible for this Parliament or indeed the next one.
Andy Burnham as PM and we thought Ed was a lowpoint

[carinaman]

Hopefully the SNP will provide some opposition.

Excellent - Jeremy Corbyn is in the race, having secured enough nominations...

I think the idea behind getting him in the race is he'll make Burnham look moderate. Has there ever been less calibre at the top of a major political party?

If he hadn't gone back to New Zealand, Bryan Gould would have made a presentable leader. Probably too old now though - d.o.b. 1939

With Diane Abbott as a backer, who needs enemies!

[Mr_B]

I think even Corbyn accepts he has no chance and this is merely an act to show Labour can still try and appeal as being left leaning and campaign on the faux austerity ticket, while all the time the rest abandon and convictions and try and work out how Conservative-like they have to be to win.

It's shocking that these are the best the party they can come up with. I am of the view that both of these are even more unelectable than Minigland.

I actually reckon they'll parachute David Miliband in to lead in the run up to the next general election.

I always find twitter debates remind me of 5 year olds arguing in the playground.

So not much point in voting for them if they're fake Tories. They're scuppered for good methinks.
