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.
The "left" result you mean comrade ?Having said that, nobody had heard of David Cameron before he ran for leader...so you never know I guess.

Your obvious support is welcome but another mistake like that and you may be required to attend some additional training
Ian Lavery now repeating the same st Jess Phillips tried, now to gift Wrong-Daily...

Meanwhile, Wrong-Daily also appeals to gender, and claims she'll take the party in a completely different direction to Corbs... Without giving any example except for open votes to reselect sitting MPs.

It's like any survey that asks "Name the best xyz" (where xyz is film, song, album, group, book, whatever). people just answer with the last thing they heard/read/watched/whatever.So Magic Grandpa was bound to be the best because he's the last leader.

Assuming thats current party members who were polled, I think it speaks quite a bit about the change in membership!
...and isn't it amazing (for which read 'significant') that the only leader who won three General Elections very soundly for them polled so badly ?Maybe they don't want to be in power ?

Bizarrely, they have then polled these self same people to see who they thought was the best leader?? ffs..... no lessons learned anywhere it seems?
