Politics Today

[Rosencrantz]

Do we really want a bleddy lawyer ?

Do we really want a bleddy (poor) journo?

Took the words right out of my mouth.

Which Labour MP do you have in mind ?

This is a debate about the next Labour party leader.

Jess Phillips would be an ok leader, She's very loud but her retort to that vile comment made to her was really good

Merely trying to devine which past occupation is befitting a political leader

Not sure she is good enough TBH.

Look who's in charge now, Hasn't stopped him!

Recent past leaders:

John Smith: lawyer
Tony Blair: lawyer; a very, very bad one
Gordon Brown: lecturer then journalist
Ed Miliband: media researcher
Magic Grandpa: trade union official

Well he has not achieved much in Government so far. Or have I missed something ?

Her appeal wouldn't be broad enough imho. Ditto Thornberry.

Starmer would be a sensible choice but for me he hasn't quite got that x factor. In the same way I thought Dan Jarvis hadn't i.e. somewhat uninspiring.

I think gramps and his lieutenants are trying to line up Long-Bailey or Rayner. Although an improvement on Jess Phillips, I still don't think they're quite the full ticket.
