I have to point out it may be there is a female candidate to become Leader of the Labour party now, that is if she actually does it this time.

However it is doomed to failure in my view because who really wants Angela Eagle, is she honestly the best they could put up for a leadership contest.
It will happen one day but she for sure is not the one.

she is a vile blairite warmonger. which means she will be popular amongst many of the new labour mps but detested by the members

I do not think she has a hope of beating him the truth, I would not support her as leader over Corbyn for sure.

What is this anyway,it appears she wants to be the only name against him and no one else stand too.
What kind of leadership battle is that,restricting choice.

Actually he gave a rather good account of himself on the Marr programme this morning too.

corbyn has now become essential to british democracy.
The man has flaws, dont we all? I dont think he is an anti semite at all, he doesnt seem sympathetic to the plight of the palestinians and the illegal occupations by Israel. But on the other hand I also see the israeli point of view under endless attack. The hezbollah situation seems to be a major sticking point. The whole Israel state has been a disaster from day 1 and imo should never have happened. But we are where we are and all sides simply need to be more grown up less full of vengeful hate and simply respect each other with a 2 state solution. Lets pray it happens sooner rather than later. With the hysteria of the british press we rarely hear a calm proper debate we simply get the edited highlights often taken out of context. time for calm reasoned compromise

Corbyn needs to prove he and labour can run the economy and he needs to show himself as business friendly , rather than corporate friendly, craeater healthier more competitive economy. He needs to form a coallition with sme's. He needs to think outside the westminster bubble and build a bigger broader coallition. He needs to outline his vision now, which I assume is to reign in corporate greed, monopolies and endless tax evasion/avoidance. People probably realise he feels strongly on this. However he also needs to show he will expose the mass of public sector cover ups we saw under new labour, such as stafford nhs, the rotherham child sex scandals , the iraq war etc with stronger checks and balances and strengthen the ombudsmen and the complaints confidentiality processes. A coallition of Public sector workers combined with sme's and a fair slice of the working people could see him emerge victorious. Frankly if there was just one mp who could do something with the roads that may be enough to earn them votes. So few politicians actually start a job and finish it

Responding to the title of the thread, I think not having female candidates isn't the biggest contradiction with preaching feminism. What about their defending of Islam which teaches that a woman's word is only worth half that of a man? And defending the culture that "empowers" women by covering them from the head down.

Actually, both feminism and Islam have at least one thing in common in that they are intolerant doctrines of hostility. One hates man the other hates women.
