Bankrupt Labour, Jezzer and his mates may kill off the Labour Party.

Presumably the Unions would fund them in exchange for gaining control.

Which one(s), I think we will see the Union "block" splitting quite soon as it will be dragged into the blood letting and following debacle that Labour have yet to endure.

Could be the best thing for UK politics. The current party seems a dire offering without much sign of reprieve.

The Lib Dems, not my thing but at least they picked a Brexit policy and no one's accusing them of extreme associations, were doing relatively well in the polls not too long ago. I think as it inevitably narrows to a choice of two all other comers are doomed to fall away and there's little chance of a shake up.

Who’s going to be the next leader? Kate Osamor (she who employs her drug dealing son), is my bet. Just won her incredibly safe Edmonton seat again.

Under Labour's current system, party members, Trade Unions and registered supporters get to elect the new leader. Not Labour MP's.
The current system delivered Jeremy Corbyn, twice. One suspects they'll pick another lefty, because they never learn.
So it's unlikely to be Barry Gardiner, Kier Starmer, or a returning Tom Watson.

Yvette Cooper, it "might be you" but she's perhaps too linked to the Blair-Brown era.

It will probably be someone who is closely aligned to Momentum values. Someone Northern, to appeal to the Red Belt, which Labour must regain. Someone with Trade Union heritage, and who doesn't have critics in Momentum. So, not Emily Thornberry then, or Jon Ashworth.
Possibles: Richard Burgon, Rebecca Long-Bailey, Angela Crayons, and don't forget Clive Lewis.

All of the above in my opinion, of course.

Jess Phillips? she’s just thrown her hat into the ring! People want her to, apparently

Thus keeping Labour unelectable.

Can one still join Labour for £3? I want to vote for the most unappetising; Burgon or Long-Bailey.

I know a few traditional labour voters who would still not vote labour with her in place.

‘All noise no substance’ apparently.

Now that would be funny, she is even thicker than Corbyn.

[Red 4]

Andy Burnham.
I don't think he wants to be leader though. I can see why.

[dazwalsh]

To keep tories in power for the next GE they should go with Burgon, what an utter fkwit that guy is. Jess Phillip's is the woman version of Burgon.

It will be Thornbury I bet

It’ll be hilarious if they choose to go round the same mad selection process that gave them Corbyn. It’s got to be Diane Abbott this time. Years of fun to be had.

She is turning right these days, well her feet are so I suppose that is a start

He got railroaded into a sort of remain maybe policy by a lot of new labour types and this is the price. He should have kept the respect the brexit result and a lot of nice social policies like he wanted to do.
He should stick around a while. At least a lot of troublemakers are gone.

You need to listen to those who would not vote labour. This is more than brexit. If Labour want to be electable they have some major changes to make.

This in spades! They need to watch a few episodes of Aircrash Investigation. Plane crashes are very, very rarely due entirely to one cause. They are almost always a chain of events. It's not just Brexit that screwed Labour this time round. It was that in addition to their fantasy economics, their hugely outdated far-left communist economic and social policies, their undeniable racist attitudes towards Jews (and probably any other minority who disagrees with them), their huge lies around how they are going to fund their policies (they can't), the lies about nationalising everything on sight (they can't as it contravenes Human Rights legislation) along with being generally nasty, unpleasant people.

Dan Jarvis. Veteran, para, northern (but not too northern), mayor, personal tragedy, Welsh educated socialist.

On paper, ideal.

You’re thinking like a voter, not a nutter.

He'll have to find a seat to be an MP again though. His old seat of Leigh was about a safe as they come but...……..
