Yes it would have been nice if he had his hat into the ring but sadly like some others he decided against it.

Well, that didn't come to pass. I heard that it was because he had three kitchens.

But I now understand that it's not true!

Agreed. That's why the current crop of prospective leaders should be binned.

Are you sure? His list of reasons for Labour's failure has its policies way down the list. Labour seems to think the electorate are some kind of gullible automatons; the reason Labour failed is because that's what they currently are.

Len McCluskey, the leader of Unite, suggested his union would rethink its relationship with Labour if the party elected the wrong leader to succeed Ed Miliband. “It’s essential that the correct leader emerges, and that there’s a genuine debate about the direction we are going in,”

The "correct" leader.

Go for it Len, make them unelectable for ever.

Well it's not going to be Sir Keir Starmer or Tristram Hunt. Some say the leadership will be a poisoned chalice and that's why they're out but maybe Labour would do well to select someone who doesn't sound and look like a Tory toff...

Don't be surprised if the leader they elect in September might not be the leader in two to three years time.

I don't see anyone in the Labour Party who would be fit to be Prime Minister at the moment, frankly. Chuka is their only hope, and it seems that he's taken one good hard look at what he's up against within the party and run off!

Can't say I blame him!

[Ramrod]

I'm just lmao about all this

I think he was more worried about who was going to be taking a good hard look at him.

Labour have no-one because the true principles of the Party were lost years ago.

Wow what a forward step...

Joking aside, this is becoming worrying. Labour have no-one and that isn't healthy. I sincerely hope that over the next few years someone with principles still intact comes forward. Luckily, this excludes Russell Bland

THE Teletubbies have been given a 21st Century makeover They should lead the Labour party from now on

You mean a party consisting of po-faced, obese, handbag-carrying individuals of various colours with non-specific genders and that live in la la land? Aw, I was hoping for a change .
