Wouldn't it be lovely if Labour embraced the value of a woman leader in these modern times. So many have been past over .
Starmer ? He's tainted by his association with corbyn even though he was sidelined in the campaign
The Guardian's take on the possible candidates (although I think they have missed out 2-3 names):

Sadly Diane Abbott has made the decision not to stand
Thank Christ for that
There may be some truth in that but I think the bucketfuls of racist and misogynistic abuse she has suffered for 4 years may also be a reason. I don't rate her (haven't since the hypocrisy over her son's education) and she has made some howlers even if her health or medication is a partial explanation. But she doesn't deserve her treatment - on line and from some of her so called colleagues like Jess Philips (who can be very selective in her feminist stances). She has not been as incompetent as many claim, although not impressive either, but I guess Corbyn didn't want to give her up in the face of abuse and he had a very small pool of supportive MPs to rely on - so she stayed.
There were 209 women MPs in Parliament before the election (220 now) and Diane Abbott had more online abuse than the other 208 combined. Some of that is due to her political position and role in the Corbyn shadow cabinet - but even a casual glance at some of it makes clear that most of it was down to her race and gender. She would not be elected leader by the Labour membership, but I'm sure she just wants to get out of the firing line.
Absolutely hopeless.
Lisa Nandy V. Emily Threebellies would be an interesting match up in a nude jelly wrestling contest.
Nandy is tainted on a number of fronts, particularly for wangling an enormous amount of expenses.
Exactly this.
As you say Sludge, the racist and gender abuse was disgraceful.
However, she also played it for everything she could.
She is also a racist and misandrist (female version of misogynist, but towards males)
She's a vile and odious human being, irrespective of gender or race, as is David Lammy, Laura Pidcock and Richard Burgon.
Labour desperately need to dissociate themselves from these people.
