Alleged potential Labour leadership challenge -

I read today a report in the Telegraph that Dawn Butler is believed to be seriously considering challenging Keir Starmer for leadership of the Labour Party, should Labour lose the Batley and Spen by-election. I’m sorry but the article is behind a paywall.

www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2021/06/26/keir-starmer-facing-hard-left-leadership-challenge-corbyn-ally/

“It is believed that Ms Butler would gain the support of the 34-strong Socialist Campaign Group of MPs, including Mr Corbyn, John McDonnell and Diane Abbott”.

Note that she also has the support of the champion of women Lloyd Russell-Moyle, he of the Jo Rowling should not weaponise her sexual abuse - sneer, and he has joined Dawn Butler in Batley and Spen.

This Dawn Butler who spectacularly fails to read the room. The MP who ran a poll on Twitter ‘Stonewall vs Liz Truss’ and one that horribly backfired. Not that she noticed.
The MP who declared the anti-science, anti- medical lunacy that babies are born without a sex. And double downed on it when questioned on national TV.

Because what is really going to make the constituents of the red wall run back to Labour is more southern middle class metropolitan wokesters screeching at constituents to deny all logic and get on board with the programme. And if not expect to be tarred as bigots.

I can see it now Dawn Butler as leader and her deputy Lloyd Russell-Moyle.

Labour really do not want power do they?

Oh dear, oh dear. Labour are doomed. They're doomed.

Please let this happen. It would mean that for the rest of the year whenever I'm feeling down I'd just think about Dawn Butler as Labour leader and would then be chuckling to myself for a few hours.
This sums up how I feel about it. Am chuckling now. Grin

I think I understand now, the Labour Party is to politics what Spinal Tap was to heavy metal music; do we know who the director is?
Haha!!

Dawn Butler: “what’s wrong with being sexy?”
Rest of the band: “it’s sexIST, Dawn”

Ugh.

They're all shit. All of them. It's so upsetting.

Dawn Butler, Kier Starmer, Boris Johnson, Matt Hancock, the other one who Boris backstabbed at the Tory leadership election who has a G in his name, all of them are hopeless utter scum weasels not deserving of respect in a democratic society.

I don't care what Dawn Butler wants to do, Labour have lost my vote and I sure am not voting Tory. Kier has been a hopeless disappointment.

If the choice is between a glacial reform process with Labour looking viable again maybe in a decade or two, or a few years of a Dawn Butler led Labour party crashing and burning and coming back from rock bottom, I know which I'd prefer.

Oh god, she's really awful

"including Mr Corbyn, John McDonnell and Diane Abbott”.

This is not the PLP vote-winner that they seem to think it is.

Maybe another Twitter poll for Ms Butler to consider:-

Labour vs Matt Hancock

Close call but I think I know who might edge it.

Oh well I expect it's good news for the Tories after their troubles this week.
