Well, it's the least worst option.

Hopefully Long-Bailey and Nandy will bog off to their TRA mates and stay there now. (Although I wonder if they will be dropped like hot stones now their usefulness has expired?)

Be interesting to see how/if/when/why Starmer addresses women's rights in the coming months and years.

Ian Murray is full on TWAW he's clearly taken the stonewall training so whilst I respect he may be a good local MP I'm glad he's not deputy

The best option.

Is Angela Rayner Long-Bailey's pal? Ian Murray would have been best choice for deputy but at least it's not Dawn Butler.

It was a thumping victory too. That sends a message to the extremist ideologues (of all types) in Labour, that a more centrist agenda is what they want.

Interesting to note the relatively low turnout for such a big event too. Corbynites stayed away sulking or something else?

Sir Keir Starmer - 275,780 votes (56.2%).
Rebecca Long-Bailey - 135,218 votes (27.6%)
Lisa Nandy - 79,597 votes (16.2%)

Just over 490,000 people voted in the contest, out of the 784,151 eligible to take part,

Results as expected. It wasn’t a ringing endorsement for those with a TR agenda, although who knows what Keir Starmer really thinks as he trod a decidedly delicate path.

im very pleased- and i feel the issue is going to slowly slink away in embarrassment.

Yes, I will be horrified to see Nandy and Long Bailey on the front bench.

I'm not joking.
Self ID is not an option Kier.
