Seems like Labour is going to have to shift to the centre if they want to ever get back to a majority in England. Hard to wrap your head around how right wing these English cunts are. Cunts probably be ready for Jeremy Corbyn and his policies in about a thousand years.

Starmer is the obvious candidate, has to be him. He's got the communication skills, he has the look, he's capable of compromise and is a principled parliamentarian. His voting record is pretty decent as well. I think Blair comparisons are unfair, and I would see him as more left of centre than the Third Way. I feel like the boat has been missed on Cooper now but I would back her all day long in a perfect world.

Kenny McAskill returns to front line politics by winning East Lothian from Labour.

From the outside, he seems the right candidate. The rest of the rumoured candidates, bar Cooper, appear absolutely terrible. Suppose the question is if Starmer (or whoever comes in) can either stay the five years or win over the Momentum types?
