The Daily Mail has started early. It is running fake news about Keir, saying he was a terrorist defender as a lawyer :rolleyes: Corbyn wasn't the problem. The media hated his ideas. They will attack Keir with the same shit, seeing as it was so effective last time.

What terrorist did he as a human rights lawyer defend?

No idea! I just saw the headline. I don't give that Murdoch propaganda any clicks.

Rupert Murdoch doesn't own the Daily Mail.

Scummy bast*rds.

Emily Thornberry has now been eliminated.

Was always gonna happen! Her supporters will likely fall behind Keir now!

Kier got over half the votes...just call this thing now

Agreed. Why let it drag on to April. He may as well get on opposing Cummings. Oops sorry meant Boris. :D

According to The Guardian Jeremy Corbyn said he'd consider a front-bench tole under the new leader. His Momentum fans love this on Twitter, saying the new leader, most likely Starmer, would just be a puppet leader with Jezza really still leading. :rolleyes:

 

"Labour leader says he would ‘see what it is’ before deciding on any offers after departure" He could make sure that the next leader is ideologically pure.

 

 

RLB has reportedly promised him a 'role' in her shadow cabinet should she be elected leader. The other two have said nothing.

Foot wasn't given a Shadow Cabinet role after his big defeat in 1983 so why should Corbyn even think he may be offered one?

You said in the first post it was the Guardian who said it so not sure jeremy is the one pushing this. Could only see it ever happening under RLB. Anyone else would be destroyed if he was in their shadow cabinet.

I watched the leadership debate and I just think Keir is utterly fantastic! :wub: I'm pretty sure he's got my vote when the time comes.

 

I did warm to Nandy a little bit though actually.

Because Jeremy got 40% in 2017 and is the most popular Labour leader EVER. Also because Blojo and Goebbels basically stole the election with claims of id, making 38% get postal votes, vote early, control over the bbtory, dog whistle raciam, and brexshit...

Only with Momentum. The electorate rejected him twice remember! :P

 

 

Maybe could be made Minister For Allotments. :D

It accepted him in 2017. The brexshit divide plus 38% postal votes stopping them from closing thr gap over the campaign plus the media's incessant disgusting attacks and there ya go. He is far far faaar better then Bojo. Only a sick society would elect that thing over Corbyn.

I have to say I find the future of Labour fairly bleak and depressing currently — of course, it is to be expected after such a defeat.

 

Keir Starmer leaves me completely cold and uninspired — the more I have seen of him has left me bewildered by his appeal. There is no spark there. RLB is my choice purely by default as she is the most aligned with me, but again, there is nothing about her that has wowed me. It just feels like we are another generation away from a potential Labour government, and where will the country even be by then?

Tony Blair keeps floating the idea of Labour joining with the Lib Dems under Steimer. It would become centrist and keep losing. But we stay left wing with popular policies and the press snd media sink us. It id a onr party state. Expect Tory rule for 100 years.

 

Almost to the point I might just stop bothering to vote, because I don't want to give this quasi-dictatorship any legitimacy at all.

Same here. Don't know why he's the runaway favourite to be honest. I'd still be happier with either of the two women but my money's on a female leader after Starmer's lost the next election.

Dianne Abbott has announced that she's decided to leave the shadow cabinet. She'd probably have got the push in May anyway.
