I have very little faith in the ability of the current Labour Party to elect a leader who could win a General Election.

You have to be able to recognise a problem to be able to deal with it, but even before the Tories were over the line, the Corbynista wing were getting their excuse in - 'it was all about Brexit'. I don't think it was all about that at all; it was about a party that spewed spending promises in a manner that all but hard-core Labour supporters could see was unrealistic. They were also pursuing nationalisations that all but hard-core Labour supporters could see were an irrelevance and a distraction from the real issues faced by the people of this country.

The Labour Party did have a problem on Brexit in that - as I have argued before - they are essentially two parties on the issue - the Remainer London section and the Leaver rest of the country section. That was always going to be difficult to address, but the solution they came up with of having a Leader with no public opinion made them look silly.

Because they can't see the problem, Momentum will appoint one of their clone army as leader. Rebecca Long-Bailey would be my suspicion.
