Who should the next Labour leader be?

I'm missing the sarcasm tags?

No sarcasm. She seems to be a pleasant and patient person. I don't agree with her politically, and neither is she a leadership contender IMO.

I agree and I bet she sounds impressive when she farts in the bath.

OK glad your experience is more pleasant, one assumes that is in person, I have only watched her on the telly and had high hopes for her initially.

I think Labour should absorb LibDems and Green and other Left wing parties and rebrand as the Progressive Party. All new party with intelligent, socially just, evidence based policies.

Please no, not that name. It is just the sort of ideological baggage denoted by the word "progressive" that the voters hate.

In private she is quite nice. I had a pleasant conversation with her at my grandfathers funeral which she attended (along with Keir Hardie and Eric Pickles to name a couple of politicians who were also there.)

I didn't realise you were old enough to have met Keir Hardie, he died just after the First World War didn't he?

No - September 1915

Eric Pickles was born in 1952, Diane Abbot 1953.

Sounds like an amazing funeral though.

At least I was only 3 years out, not time travelling like Darmy seems able to do.

As long as you don't play divide and rule presumably
