We have been given the thumbs up for a new politics thread. The rules are no personal abuse and no trolling. These actions will only result in thread closure. Any comments on how the current administration is performing? Good or bad. Any views on the Labour leadership contest? Anything else related to politics would be fine. Any attempts to start a fight or abuse fellow Mudcatters will be frowned upon.

I'll start with the Labour leadership. My personal favourite is Rebecca Long-Bailey for multiple reasons but mainly because she seems to be a true socialist. However, being pragmatic, Keir Starmer may do more good for the party. I have until April to decide I suppose but what are the arguments for and against both? Sensible ones that is :-)

Knock yourselves out!
