Yvette Cooper

[Jonmx]

Soundbite politician, but then they don't have a lot of other options if Obi Wan decides to step down. I can't imagine too many people would be wanting to jump into his shoes. I'd imagine it'd be a bit like the episode of The Thick of It where Nicola Murray ends up with the ministerial job.

Typical Yvette, says something but doesn't mean it; very similar to Lilly Allen's bleating on this subject.

Talentless brownite lackey, almost as self-regarding as her husband.

This is the point.

The unions (and students to a lesser degree) are pulling the strings since Blair, so brownite candidates are still getting selected. Selecting Ed instead of David Miliband was where all the recent problems started. Corby is just the end result of this policy.

Labour had loads of great young electable centrist candidates, untarnished by the Blair/brown wilderness labour are in, but are not getting selected and being encouraged not to run.

It's a deep rooted problem for labour and one that is entirely self inflicted. It seems they'd rather keep selecting these brownite robots and far left leaders like Corbyn than be elected, they're apparently happy pandering to students and the unions and being the party of (week) opposition.

If labour select another old school brownite like cooper, labour will trundle on like this until they are brave enough to split into a centrist left party. Anyone will be better for them than Corbyn though,

In this time of low probability outcomes though perhaps Corbyn will shock everyone. apparently people that meet him find him inspiring but labour seem unable to show these qualities to anyone outside the grass roots Labour Party.

I'm amazed techiedave doesn't like her - she's aged recently, but has quite nice legs
Politically though, there is no way I could see her as PM......
