Who will be the next Labour leader

[EnthusiasmIsDisturbed]

I’m hoping Keir Starmer

Intelligent, center left and no concerns over his connections and political stance

Sensibly stayed in the background recently let’s hope he puts himself forward

I shall be rejoining the party again

I’m not a fan of Keri Starmer. He always seems a bit too impressed by himself to me.

I like Jess Philips.

Can’t stand Emily Thornbury.

Nobody I know who votes Labour likes Jess Phillips (they're not Corbynistas either) so I can't see floating voters going for her. It has to be someone with broader appeal.

Before the leadership can be resolved, the Momentum issue must be tackled. That is the force that lead to the Corbyn farce.

Keir Starmer or Jess Phillips for me 🙏

Corbyn has said he will step down after a leadership election.
The head of momentum straight away says he shouldn't be rushed !
Momentum should be banned from any involvement in party politics.

@ItsNearlyMorning - Hear! Hear!

I say someone needs to start a petition up to get David Milliband back in UK politics.
In the meantime we need the least controversial leader for the Labour Party but someone with integrity and substance, who supports women's rights.

Yvette Cooper or Hilary Benn.

If a Labour is ever to get in, it must be someone that the moderate centrist would vote for.

@Witchlight yes Hillary Ben could be the one

Jess Phillips!!

I'm not really a labour voter but I do like Yvette Cooper. I think all her cross party talks in regards to brexit she seemed really rational. I think she's OK.

I watch the Parliament Chanel far too much. She is amazingly competent as the chair of the Home Affairs Select Committee. I should add I am not a Labour supporter, but I would vote for her (or Benn) rather than BJ

Erm the Tories elected a female leader in the 1970s, maybe 40 years later labour couy do the same?

Jess Phillips for me. She's from a relatively normal background, not too London-y and she had me when she said that left-leaning men are often the most sexist of all.

Reasonable on the whole trans thing too.

I think she actually listens to people too.

Keir Starmer is good too.

Love Diane Abbott but she is massively unpopular.

Hopefully another hard-Left nut who'll immediately turn off the majority of the small-'c' conservative population and give the Tories an easy ride.

Failing that, an aggressive, hectoring ultra-feminist who'll alienate most male voters. Jess Philips or Angela Rayner would do nicely.

Deffo not a centre-left moderate - someone like Blair who - you know - can win elections.

Carry on, folks, I'll see myself out.

Just imagining a reasonable, intelligent, electable Labour leader is cheering me up!

Jess Phillips or Yvette Cooper hopefully.

Not Keir Starmer please.

It has to be someone likeable, charismatic. It shouldn't be important but it is. Thornberry is roundly disliked, as is Diane Abbott.

Boris's strong point is his sense of humour. He said he's going to work on achieving carbon neutral environment, and he'd already achieved a Corbyn neutral one. He's positive and he makes people smile. Come on Labour, you must be able to rustle up someone?

Andy Burnham is doing a brilliant job in G Manchester as mayor. I'd like to see him become leader and start making a difference at a national level again.

Keir Starmer or Yvette Cooper. I love Jess Phillips and her great attitude but I feel she doesn't yet have the experience behind her.

I like Kier

But I think it needs to be a northerner.

Needs to be less London orientated (I say this as a Londoner)

What about Dan jarvis

I do not want Emily Thornberry just because some people think we ‘have’ to have a woman. I think she’s awful.

Keir Starmer is brilliant. Jess Phillips is also good.

I’d like to see Yvette Cooper.

Yvette Cooper or Dan Jarvis.
