    Well he isn’t fully out yet is he. Staying until October.

    So no time to move on until the joker has completely gone.

    Who would you like? Genuine question as I'm not sure who would make a good leader, although as MPs go I do like Rayner after she upset the establishment by calling the Tories a naughty word.

    Andy Burnham, but I don’t think that’s likely. But, I could probably go for Angela Rayner. Been dealt a tough hand in life, and worked her way up, I like that. I don’t think she’d be afraid to tell some Tory idiot to go fcuk themselves, either.

    Angela Raynor is an excellent attack dog, which is definitely needed. Not sure if she's sufficiently circumspect to be the leader though.
    Lisa Nandy, Emily Thornberry, Yvette Cooper would all be good choices.

    Rayner is vile. How anyone would want her in charge of the party is beyond me.

    If I was a Labour man, I would probably want Burnham in charge.

    As a Conversative voter, I hope the wet blanket Starmer stays in charge though, very weak option to challenge

    Rachel Reeves tore Rishi a new one in the budget debate and would be a good leader along with Burnham if he stood as an MP

    It appears Nadine Doris[sic] is thinking of throwing her hat into the ring. Yes, seriously.

    Goodbye Boris .... hello Doris!

    Nads for PM! :thumbup:

    But you'd have the same reaction to anyone in the LP I could suggest, because you believe that anyone left of Michael Gove is a closet communist. So your opinion on this subject is meaningless.

    Somebody certainly is taking the piss!

    According to a 'source close to the Secretary of State', she is considering whether to put her name forward because she wants to 'keep Johnson's flame alive'.

    It's almost beyond belief but somebody did appoint her as a Secretary 9f State in the Cabinet!

    I think 'invalid' was a word I could have used. Although 'meaningless' works pretty well.

    I'm politically opposed to all Tories. But it doesn't mean I'm unable to distinguish between them in terms of competence, leadership potential etc. Whereas you are unable to make distinctions between anyone outside your right wing preferences, so your opinion on Labour leadership options is meaningless.

    Keir is a Blairite, he is centre right and actually what a Tory should want from a Labour leader. He out of all the choices will cause more tory voters to vote labour than the others mentioned who are more left wing. Nandy would make a strong PM but maybe lacks a bit of experience leadership wise.

    Starmer will make a great PM. Actually a man who represents a politics from before 1997 where charisma was not a prerequisite. Take away his obvious annoyance to brexit voters, he is a man of his word and will not pursue rejoining the EU. He is your best bet.
