Quote Hoof Hearted at 22 Jun 2015 11.08am [Link] 4 contenders, none of them up to much, but apart from Jeremy Corbyn all a step up from Miliband. Which do you prefer? My preference would be Corbyn for an easy Tory re-election in 5 years time. He is the Union's favourite, just like Miliband was and very left wing in his views. Labour need to sort out their economic credibility to stand a chance of gaining power ever again.

Labour need to sort out their economic credibility to stand a chance of gaining power ever again. Well it is a small majority for Dave so its hardly as if the Tories are everyone's favourite. Micheal Foot got a higher percentage of the vote than Dave and he supposedly had the longest suicide note in history. Also the cuts don't really hit till April 2015 and there is 12bn more to come, and there is Europe which always hurts the Tories. Labour just need to sit tight. Meanwhile, as I see it the the Tory party pushing Thatchers "Make Britain Great Again" agenda will be the party that students in little England in 50 years time will be studying to establish why Great Britain died and only England and her the Falklands colony remained. Out of Europe and the Union broken as the Scots and Welsh stay in it. Edited by Bert the Head (03 Jul 2015 11.58pm)

The Labour leadership battle fills me with optimism. They are the weakest most useless bunch ever. I look forward to a Tory government for the next 2 terms at least. Kinnock,Foot and Milliband look like gods next to this lot.

[Link] Actually pretty big news this. It's a bit of a tipping point for Labour, where their grassroots organisational set up, in the form of the unions, who created and have funded the Party for over a century now, is making it more and more explicitly clear that it wishes to break away from the New Labour elements of the Party, of which Burnham and Cooper represent. Kendall is something else, some kind of weird Tory fugitive figure but that's another story. That Corbyn, who has very little financial or organisational network around him, is doing so well speaks volumes for how sizeable the left remains within the party. Whether it can legitimately trump the right wing in the party remains to be seen. I think Corbyn is pretty unelectable himself, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a slightly more presentable left-wing candidate emerge and lead the party in the next few years. And for those who say Labour can never get elected again if it turns left, let's not forget Thatcher was told the same when she became leader of a party which, in the 70s, was as committed to building social houses and public spending as Labour were. Every radical change seems impossible until it actually happens... If punk ever happened I'd be preaching the law, instead of listenin to Lydon lecture BBC4
