It's got to be ripe for David M to come charging in on his white horse, non?
Yep, straight into Jo Cox' safe labour seat.don4l said:

Angela Eagle is being touted as the unity candidate.
Seems (on paper) smart, but pretty much charisma free.
I'd support Angela Eagle.Seems (on paper) smart, but pretty much charisma free.
She burst into tears on TV, the last thing we need is some hysteric PM who goes off all 'bipolar' on us.
David Milliband is the only credible candidate, the rest of them don't have anywhere near the credentials to get us out the s
t the current mob put us in. Angela eagle looks like a manic depressive, she's the last person we need in charge of nukes.tarnished said:
I must be thinking of a different DM.
Make all the jokes you like, but as a non labour voter in the past I could see myself voting for David Milliband, when I'd never have voted for Corbyn, Ed or that tosser Brown. We need an opposition party to keep the Tories some side of sane or they'll do another Self destruct job, like the one they did to John Major. Look what that did for the country.thepeoplespal said:

I agree when they elected RED ED the conservatives breathed a huge sigh of relief. But comrade Corbyn is like a limpet and isn't going anywhere so all the £3 members and the £1 for juniors have a stranglehold on the Party.As a potential Labour voter in the next GE - I will never vote for BJ as our PM - I've felt repulsed by the arrogance Corbyn has shown in the last few days.
I dearly hope that Labour succeed in finding a credible leader and that Corbyn's political career is ended. He is a leech on UK politics, wrongly believing a bunch of £3 voters make him the rightful leader of the party.

People keep saying this about the 3 quid voters - BUT Corbyn won the unions and the core membership as well.I dearly hope that Labour succeed in finding a credible leader and that Corbyn's political career is ended.

The 3 quidders just created a positive narrative. (positive in the sense it created a buzz for him)
Unless the unions shift he will win again.

Probably true. The issue is that, having seen how completely, utterly and omni-shambolically hopeless he is as a leader, the unions may well decide to ditch Corbyn.

Labour is a cooperative and it's the membership, not the 'employees' (the MPs) who choose the Chief Executive.
It's up to the membership if it chooses a leader based on principle over electability.
In which case, it's the rebel MPs who need to consider if, being at odds with the cooperative who really own the show, they are in the right party.

I am now of the firm opinion that JC doesn't care in the slightest about being electable, does not want the Labour Party to form a government or want to be PM. He quite likes being the leader of a club of like minded individuals and if the PLP inexorably reduces to a tiny gathering of MPs and becomes a small club of lefties that he is in charge of that can lob the occasional (ineffective) brick at the government of the day from the side lines then that suits him down to the ground.
It can only be a matter of time now, can it not, before the paymasters i.e. the unions, step in to insist that this charade is halted otherwise they, their members and a lot of other grass roots left of centre thinkers will effectively be disenfranchised for a generation at least?
