I agree with your first paragraph completely, Pete. I joined Labour when Corbyn was elected. I'm not resigning any time soon. We couldn't and can't win with him at the helm, best candidate for PM by a country mile though he was. I think we need Rebecca Long-Bailey, a grounded, young, working-class northern woman who will shed all those Corbyn negatives whilst maintaining his legacy. She is more than a match for Johnson because she comes from her heart and she keeps her cool. He's shit scared of people like her. He can't handle principle. And I'd back Angela Rayner for deputy. They are great mates and would work well together, even though Angela is no Corbynite. But not bloody Yvette, please. And Kier, good bloke though he is, will be characterised as a remainer man-in-suit who has splinters up his arse from fence-sitting over Jeremy. Emily Thornberry is a very unattractive figure who says bloody daft things, and Jess, though confident and direct, has dissed Jezza, so not her. So that's my pitch. As for your second paragraph, I'll have to have a think.

And I'm biased in favour of Becky because she's the MP for Salford, where me mum comes from, and her dad worked in Salford socks, just like my grandad. That'll do me! Dirty Old Town!
