Re: Who will lead the Labour Party?
I think Dennis Skinner should stand as well. IIRC he was very supportive of Miliband so he's clearly in touch...

Re: Who will lead the Labour Party?
Jeremy Corby just made it.... he stands for what I believe in ....but regrettably, I do not practice...
A comment from the BBC web page:

Corbyn's always seemed a decent sort of bloke with genuine beliefs and a clear conscience when it's time to hand in the expenses claims.
In other words, he's got no chance.

Re: Who will lead the Labour Party?
What a rich crop of talent there is in the running to replace Miliband eh. 
Forget guff like 'I didn't realise how tough it would be...', I reckon Labour don't think they can win next time out so many of those with serious leadership ambitions are stepping back, biding their time and leaving the poisoned chalice for someone else to drink from...

Re: Who will lead the Labour Party?
From what l hear expect the unpopular leader to be replaced with someone else half way through this parliament.

Re: Who will lead the Labour Party?
Jeremy Corbyn? Oh yes, a very distinctive and charismatic person with leader written all over his face:
He looks worn out already...

But if you prefer get the Morning Star on Saturday, to read his articles/opinions. Well, that's the problem

He wants rid of the Royal family and Trident, has Commie tendencies, wants more regulation of the private rented sector, closure of tax havens, a bigger state and he thinks little of 3.8m UKIP voters.
He knows how to make friends and influence people.

And he has no chance in the leadership contest.

No, but you can guarantee he will get more than his fair share of the headlines over the next few months.
I can't think of a better way for Labour to have entrenched Cameron's authority in the aftermath of what was, by historic standards, a very narrow election win, than to have cast themselves as the Loony Lefty class of 1983, complete with a latter day Michael Foot.
Dan Hodges the plastic scouser over at the Telegraph has also opined that Corbyn's presence on the ballot will force the other candidates to move leftwards in order to try to Hoover up his supporters when he fails to get past the first round of votes. The possibility of the eventual winner being on record as saying a selection of loony lefty things doesn't bode well for Labour's prospects either.
But what do I care, they're a shower of fools and ideologues and I'm happy to see them fail.

If they move leftward it just makes Labour even more unelectable. 
They seem to forget that the people who work for a living, the "Working Class", no longer wear flat caps, go down mines and pull their forlocks to t' govnor but are often better qualified than most politicians and work a darn sight harder.

Re: Who will lead the Labour Party?
I just wish someone would take Labour by the scruff of the neck and make them into the credible opposition they should be i.e. minus the outdated obsession with social engineering, an ever bigger state, increasing interference in our lives etc.

Then they wouldn't be labour any more
Oh, and re Corbyn:
Quote:

This is the man who sympathised with violent Irish Republicanism in the 1980s, invited IRA representatives to the Commons a fortnight after the Brighton bombing in 1984 and, at a Troops Out meeting in 1987, stood for a minute’s silence to “honour” eight IRA terrorists killed in an SAS ambush.

Old dog eared Labour with filler and a new coat of shiny paint to cover up the rot.
