Liebour, £25-00 to join so you can vote for the next unelectable leader of the party, the mind boggles at how they still think they represent anybody other than themselves !!
Asking the same “ Poor “ working class people, students, etc whom they promised loads of free stuff if they voted for them to now stump up 25 quid they haven’t actually got, to Join a political party which appears to be as popular as an organisation somewhere between the Jimmy Saville fan club and Pol Pots Khmer Rouge.
UMBELIEVABLE !!!!!

Labour will be out for years. It's funny how people actually thought Corbyn would win? <laugh>
I can't work out who is more deluded Corbyn or the people that voted for him?
 
Looks like a race between Sir Kier and Long Bailey. Of those two, seems to me Labour's only hope of eventual salvation, is Sir Kier. I didn't like his Remain position but at least he accepts now that Brexit has to be tolerated, even if not embraced, by the Labour Remainers. He has gravitas that most of the other candidates don't, though he is rather a dry lawyer lacking in charisma. Nevertheless, if Boris makes a real chump of himself and Sir Kier steers the Labour Party into centre ground, the electorate could go for Sir Kier as a safe option in five years time.

The game is the Tories to lose with Sir Kier as opposition. If Long Bailey gets it, the Tories can make planks of themselves and still be reelected!
 
"Long Bailey denies any link between uncontrolled immigration/suppression of wages; is upset by end to free movement; barely conceals her aversion to nuclear deterrent and struggles to criticise Corbyn. Not the person to provide this govt with the robust Opposition it needs

Isabel Oakshott"

Right on the money imo

The real question will be 'How much of a Leader will the Leader be?' Momentum set the agenda, anyone who doesn't toe their line is toast so it's likely to be more of the same. Only a candidate stating they want an end to Corbynism and a purge of Momentum as Militant were purged in the 80s will change Labour's direction, it won't happen...
 
Labour's biggest problem is that they no longer represent the working class.
They are now a North London protest party supported by champagne socialists and middle class liberals.
The Tories now represent the working class.

The Tories represent the xenophobic elements of the working class.
