How long has Corbyn got left?

[Stan Hullis]

Angela Rayner to stand for deputy leader, will be back Long-Bailey once she officially declares.

I've decided to join the party - no point in complaining about it from the outside anymore.

Rumoured that 31st Dec 2019 has been set as the cut off point for eligibility to vote in the leadership elections...

Didnt they take us to war too?
Pretty sure that has had an impact on this country ever since.

Sign up between 14 and 16 January to be eligible for vote as a registered supporter.

Fair enough.

Don't mention the war!

Kier Starmer sets out his vision for Labour:

https://www.theguardian.com/comment...bour-socialism-values-election-economic-model

When he says he wants to win the next election, I actually believe he can, which is a nice difference.

I can't see me feeling the same when RLB or Jess Phillips say the same.

That's a god article by Starmer.

Phillips dropped this yesterday. I'm reminded of TT's comments in liking her, but not being clear what she stands for.

Love it. Absolutely nothing he's said has upset me so far. Plenty of members think he's the heir to Blair but he really isn't.

Becky Long in the lead now according to the latest poll. Good stuff.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

That would be unfortunate

Labour list readers survey. I don't read it so I wonder how much of the membership does.

Not me and having looked into the candidates I will be putting Starmer #1 and quite like Jess Phillips

Starmer is dour and cuddly in a Blair type way but he'll get destroyed by Johnson. About as inspiring as an eggy fart. Long-Bailey woudn't disappoint me at all, she looks highly charged and credible in interviews, if they can throw Brexit off their backs and get rid of the likes of Abbott, Thornberry and anything else idiotic and divisive. Jess Phillips just has a loud brummy gob - vote loser.

Becca Wrong-Daily is literally Corbyn v2. What exactly are you expecting is going to change?

Corbyn might be PM but for his fuck up over Brexit. That's what turned the marginals. I think his tax policy insane but I like people who look out for the Palestinians.

I disagree on Starmer. He was impressive and forensic at the dispatch box on brexit and he could pull Johnson apart with the same approach at PMQ's. Whether the wider public would be arsed to see it though would be another matter. Jess Phillips can be impressive, it's not her accent that let's her down its that she can becomes too passionate on issues and doesn't seem to keep controlled. Starmer and Rayner for me at the moment.
