I am really glad it will not be until before the conference in September.

Very careful scrutiny needs to be done and the absolute right choice made.
Chuka Ummunah would be amazing, now Rachel Reeves has ruled herself out, he would be my choice.

He, I feel,could connect with most areas of England,he could really capture a good bit of support in the East and West Midlands too which is vital to do.

He could even begin to address the big problem as to Scotland too,the parties once cast aside in Scotland have a struggle to come back, the Conservatives never have after Margaret Thatcher's time.
Then again she knew the uncertain outcomes and dangers of holding referendums.
Being dead against ever holding them herself.
I believe Labour can come back there over time.
