Thanks Dave. Fingers crossed.

I was never a fan of Corbyn although, his having been elected by a landslide twice, I felt that everyone should have got behind him and cut out the undermining and back-stabbing that he suffered. He spent as much time defending himself against certain factions in his own party as he did opposing the worst Conservative government in living memory - worse even than Thatcher’s bunch.

In order to bring about the change so desperately needed, the LP first have to get elected, and I’m not confident that any of the candidates, with the possible exception of Keir Starmer, could command the respect and confidence of a sufficient number of voters to do that. And, although I like RLB, I feel that she is tainted, in voters’ minds, by her close association with Corbyn.

I do believe that Jess Phillips would be capable of scaring Johnson shitless, but I don’t perceive the oratory capabilities and statesmanship (stateswomanship?) that a leader needs (and which, IMHO, Corbyn also lacked).

So I’d have to go for Starmer. But I’m not a member, so what I think doesn’t actually count for anything.

So.....
