Is that not known as a "Candidate De-selector" with the Corbyn left ?

Not Jess Phillips evidently

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-51195059

At the moment, Ms Phillips does not have any unions or constituency parties in her corner.
The Birmingham Yardley MP is expected to release a statement later amid speculation she will announce she is withdrawing from the contest.
She missed a hustings earlier on Tuesday organised by the GMB union, at which the other four candidates pitched for the union's endorsement

Indeed. Who do we think this will favour? In theory, Keir Starmer now has the right and centre of the party to himself, but many of Jess' supporters would have wanted a woman leader, and might switch to Lisa as the most moderate of the three remaining women?

I think Nandy's going to lose to Starmer.

Fourbelly can't have long left.

The lovely fragrant Emily clearly has less self awareness than I do so I don't think she will walk away any time soon..... I am actually quite keen to see her not do so in the belief that she WILL get the noms and get a chance to actually be voted in! Which she wont get of course unless another 'Clive Lewis' walks at the death' and 'gives' her their votes/noms.

And then come up short at the actual deadline. There is nothing as lovely as a completely deluded, arrogant Politician pushing themselves forward to the point that they have to swallow their own words!

So Waynetta has dropped out..

In order to assist pistonheaders who struggle to remember who is still in the running of this important game show, may I share with you my "Asda butchers counter" mind map

Starmer = Gammon
Thornberry = Fat
Nandy (Nandos) = Chicken
Long Bailey = (thick as) mince

HTH

i would expect Emily to be the next to drop out unless something dramatic happens. But I think RLB will make the final vote, she seems to be solidly in second place in the betting, albeit well back, and I don't think the membership would stand for a coronation.

If Lisa makes the vote too it could be interesting and could come down to her 2nd preference votes and how they break between RLB and Starmer.

[Tony427]

So whats the dream ticket ? And for whom?

Seems like "Crayons" Rayner is the MP's favourite for Deputy, and Starmer is everyone's favourite for Leader, despite his pro remain stance at the Labour Party conference being perhaps what started Labour's slide into the pit of doom and despair. It could be fair to say he lost them the election, although Corbyn nailed the hat on it. Yet Starmer has been forgiven already

Would this pairing be enough to strike fear into the heart of Boris? A rough nortthern gilf paired with a metropolitan luvvie aiming to appeal to the broadest spectrum of potential voters.

Will it work? I have serious doubts that they have any chance of success in taking on the Tories at all.

Excellent.

Whoever manages GMB union's twitter account apparently has too much time on their hands. No real work to do I guess





Actual Hollywood-ripping-offy tweets in case you fancy cringing alongside some of their members

I don’t really think anyone cares. I’m only perusing the forums so don’t take my comment that I care. I don’t. Labour are pointless. I ave no idea what they are for and I wouldn’t vote for them if they gave me free money....oh..actually neither did anyone else when that is actually what they did offer. They are not the party of the working class, they don’t care about the working man or woman,unless they are Public sector and unionised. They don’t lie, Britain...or at least do t seem to support this country in anything. They seem in,h to want to talk everything down and argue over identity politics which nobody in the real World could give. A flying st about...honestly who cares which no hoper leads this bunch of no hopers?

The fact that you say you don't care makes you an enemy of the working class
They can find out who you are from your details on here.
If you are jewish they probably have record of you anyway
You will come back to Labour comrade - nobody leaves labour ever
Or something like that which probably exists in the mindset of some Labour folk

However Keir Starmer is I think doomed
Ian Lavery thinks Keir should stand aside and moaned about Labour not having a woman leader. He also called Starmer the moderate candidate
With total lunatics like him in the party the party deserves everything it doesn't get

Seems to me that it will be down to Starmer and Long-Bailey. I think that Emily Thornbury will be out soon and I somehow feel that Lisa Nandy will not get enough wider support because she doesn't have recognition amongst the membership and isn't seen by them as a big hitter. You could say the same for Long-Bailey but she has Momentum in her corner.

Having said that, nobody had heard of David Cameron before he ran for leader...so you never know I guess.

I reckon that Momentum, and the current leadership, will be working overtime to make sure of the "right" result.
