Labour leadership candidate Sir Keir Starmer's mother-in-law has died after she was in an accident two weeks ago.

The MP, who is running to replace Jeremy Corbyn, had taken a break from campaigning this weekend due to her being ill.

The chairwoman of his campaign, Jenny Chapman, announced on Sunday that his mother-in-law died yesterday.

She tweeted: “My thoughts and prayers are with Keir Starmer and his family.

“Keir’s mother-in-law died yesterday following an accident two weeks ago.

“Thank you to everyone for being so kind and supportive and for respecting his family’s privacy at this difficult time.”

Yes Hustings tomorrow cancelled

There should not stop for a bit of wind

BBCnewsHD has the 4 Labour MP's
in a Public debate for another hour
started at 9:30AM

What difference does it make , oh well I guess they have to try :idc:

It's really down to Nandy and Starmer, especially after yesterday...

Yes the Newsnight BBC2HD Debate was better
last night,
just the 4 of them with a one presenter.

Emily Thornberry has been eliminated from race - thank goodness


She is such a modest person ....

"I'll have a week of rest now, then it's back to the day job of holding this wretched Tory government to account on its foreign policy, and doing so with the same passion, tenacity and forensic skill I've shown for four years in that role," she added

Yes Over Cocky
Emily could not get backers

I'm so dissapointed in Thornbury, who'd have thought she would have turned into such a career driven backstabbing turncoat?

Lol yeah, she always seemed so humble and cooperative :joker:

I think her rant about the SNP sank her chances.

I still be asleep at that time

Rebecca
claims she will Win?
She was last on Marr BBC1HD.

And she claims she will stop Transphobic people in
her party?

Removes her Glasses
which makes no change

She really needs to not win, lol.

Yes or they will not get into power

Rebecca Long Bailey would have Corbyn in the shadow cabinet, probably as foreign secretary.

Lisa Nandy would vote to abolish the monarchy.

Kier Starmer is looking better and better.

Starmer is much more of a favourite to win the leadership than Boris was, it would be a major upset if he lost.

Wonder if starmer will be grilled on trans rights like the women interviewed recently have been? I'm interested in his take on party policy.

All three answered a question about the trans stuff last night, I can't really remember the specifics but he had a milquetoast "transwomen are women" response.

Anyone mention trans men at all? Because the trans people who seem to make make ALL the noise, used to be men and are therefore, well used to being listened to. I never see a female to male trans screaming in someone's face "I'M A MAN! JUST LIKE YOU!"
