So many candidates to choose from. Feel free to rank them:

Keir Starmer (BBC Marr)
Rachel Reeves (LBC, Channel 4 News)
Emily Thornberry (BBC)
David Lammy (fringe event)
Ian Murray (BBC Woman's Hour)
John McDonnell (LBC)
Bridget Phillipson (Talk Radio)

For me Keir is definitely the worst as he's the leader. Of the others John McConnell is a cowardly weasel

What an absolute shit John McConnell is to speak about his fellow Labour MP like that.

@Passmeamenuatthetottenham

What did Lammy say?

Have only seen Starmer, Reeves and Thornberry. All 3 totally embarrassing.

The complete Lammy. labourlist.org/2021/09/anti-trans-members-are-dinosaurs-who-want-to-hoard-rights-says-lammy/

I suppose the good thing to come out of this is the various broadcasters who are scoffing at the Labour leadership for coming out with such nonsense...

1 Lammy (because he is damn-right patronising and would never accept a white person identifying as black because they felt like it)
2 Keir Starmer - (He's the most high profile)

Emily Thornberry (for smirking like she'd performed a clever 'gotcha!')
Ian Murray (I still can't work out what he was saying)

5 Rachel Reeves (I've endured storms that were less blustery)

All the others which I haven't heard yet because I couldn't take it anymore

We ideally need transcripts of their craven idiocy to be able to judge, preserved for posterity!

David Lammy because he resorted to insults.

Unflip
