Names are already being thrown around like Keir Starmer, Angela Rayner, Jess Phillips, Emily Thornberry and Sadiq Khan... so who do you think would make the best candidate, and why?
If you're just going to troll about how the whole party is unelectable and "get over it blah blah blah" then just exit the thread and make a cup of tea and consider growing up x

Sadiq Khan please, would love to see him humiliated like Jezza in 5 years time. And plus he needs to step down as mayor of my city as he is simple unfit to hold any position of power.

Andy Burnham always comes across well and is liked by the right on LBC. He seems to be able to connect with the right which is good going forward for Labour

I think it will be Starmer, but I’d love Angela to take the position, she’s a wonderful political, with a great amount of passion and I think she could really speak to the working class again

Is Jess Phillips the one that was on Celebrity Bake Off? She’ll do!

All hail the Moyesiah
|
I don't fall into this bracket but for any realistic chance of success I think the new leader needs to:
- Appeal to both the north and middle England (probably needs to be a northerner first to win back those seats) - Left wing enough to get the support of the membership, not too left wing to alienate the floating voter - Ideally be a woman Rebecca Long Bailey is the best bet imo I would say no to any who are perceived to be too 'metropolitan' and London centric like Starmer, Sadiq or Thornberry |

Andy is another good shout but I don't know if he's ever expressed an interest in the role.
I think Jess is good but she'd probably be seen as an easy target by media on account of her class/the way she communicates (I don't have a problem with it, obviously, but she is seen to be a bit of a media luvvie nowadays and that could be a problem). Angela Rayner seems to be the one whose star factor is growing... but I don't know how to feel about her

Angela Rayner is brilliant, such passion for her job and more ‘soft left’ which I think is needed for the Labour Party. Hard labour like JC just isn’t cutting it anymore unfortunately
I’d love Andy Burnham too but he’s been rejected so many times/is the Mayor of Manchester now so I don’t think he’ll be interested. |

Except in the case of the Green Party you'd have to have Caroline Lucas doing every single one of those roles, which isn't an issue Labour has or will ever have to face (see: Jo Swinson immediately resigning upon losing her seat, rather than staying on for a decade in the hope that she might somehow fall arse backwards into 10 Downing Street)
