Who Will replace Jeremy Corbyn as Labour Leader

[anonymous-user]

I don't think Long-Bailey-o-matic is going to win, though.

Burgon is an idiot.

I'd avoid saying that to idiots for fear of causing offence.

Didn't this sort of thing bring Britain to its knees back in the 70s????

The wilderness years for Labour will truly be long and bleak.

The hard left are on their way out of Labour. Starmer will have to bring the party back toward the middke ground.

I'm hopeful he'll be a reasonable challenge to Boris.

The unions weald the power (and supply the cash). If the hard left can't even influence the choice of leader they're not going to stand in the way of reforms (assuming the unions agree with them).

Once RLB loses, Momentum will be done and dusted at the top of the party.

Unions want control, I expect Starmer is not the one they can control (they way they want). Time will tell, I don't expect momentum and the hard left to disappear overnight.

The country's biggest union is backing Starmer. He has the backing of Unison, Usdaw and others.

I don't think the unions have a problem with Starmer. They just want to get Labour back into power.

Now there are claims from the Labour Party of data breaches in the Starmer camp.

Something called Dialog was being tested, on a membership data base, what ever that is (Dialog that is).

Spies in both camps it would seem.

Looks like it's getting messy. The hard left of the executive know RLB is floundering so are going to try and nobble the competition.

Looks like a "didn't inhale" moment. Incompetent idiots.

Is there going to be a point in the campaign from which Starmer would be entitled to use the Labour database? If so, it would make sense to develop some software beforehand designed to talk to it. Conversely, if there isn't, then you would have to ask why develop something you could never legally use?

In answer to the OP, it seems like Boris Johnson has replaced Corbyn as leader. At least in term of tax & spend.

Rubbish, or if a joke, not funny.

Just ignore zygalski, he’s still incredibly sad at Labour losing the GE and the UK leaving the EU

Ahhhh, I will send him my last Rolo then

No probs chaps.
Enjoy paying your Tory taxes!

Better that than the Labour grande wastage!

If the taxes being considered by the Tories come to bear, they really are a departure from their traditional targets. Removing tax reliefs from pensions and special taxes for large properties is not supportive. If Corbyn had suggested it, most in here would be crying 'Commie' and crying in to their G&Ts.

The difference being that Corbyn would use the money to piss up a very high wall. If the conservatives do follow through I’m at least hopeful that the money will be used for investment.

Diane Abbott will not serve in the new leader's shadow cabinet.

https://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics/diane-abb...

Not sure how much she really served in Corbyn's to be honest ... just sat there and repeatedly embarassed herself I think.

She has her own family related issues coming up soon.
.
She was a semi permanent guest on This Week appearing with Michael Portillo and for many being good natured and pleasant.
She went from that to being in Corbyns shadow cabinet making a lot of ill judged claims and appearing quite thick and unpleasant
Along the way she aroused many posters on here in a way they would have thought inconceivable a few years previously.

Uh hmmmm....
