Rebecca Long-Bailey's opening pitch:

Why keep referring back surely a party that wants to appeal to the young new age don't want to he stuck in a mindset if coal mines and dock closures. We have moved on.Quote:

Key data for Labour to work on is 14 years , 4 elections and left wing policy.
This woman would like to the leader

The Unite Union babe .
I actually feel sorry for her. She is obviously a very intelligent lady to have got where she is but she must surely have been brainwashed into Corbynism along the way.Quote:

The Guardian opinion pages will be in meltdown. But undeniable that Labour will be embarrassed if they choose a male leader again after all the other main UK parties have selected women.Quote:

It should be the best candidate without identity politics, but I will have a chuckle when he does win, I know next to nothing about the 5 of them but it will be the uproar it causes 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Quote:

Kier S seems to have it wrapped up, but he's a shandy drinking southerner with a grammar school education, although being a lawyer isn't a bad credential to be PM, there isn't a standout candidate IMO, I'm not up to speed etc. and have just had an hour or so looking at the wonder web on the candidates, I jacked my unite membership around 24 months ago so no vote for me!!, the person to see off the Tories will have to be someone presenting credible policies and not stupid freebies, we're gonna spend more than you stuff, whilst Johnson had a simple message in (Get Brexit Done) I thought that labour overplayed the NHS being sold to America line, there is so much privatisation in the NHS at the moment, this line just didn't cut it with the voters.Quote:

Kier Starmer for leader and Angela Rayner for deputy are clearly strong favourites based on MP/MEP nominations and early Labour membership polling - but a lot can change in that amount of time.
Agree her and Jess Phillip's would be my choice, they would make life very difficult for the blonde one.Quote:
