Meritocracy my arse. Rebecca is good enough to stand on her own two feet and I have no problem with her whatsoever, but she is nowhere near mature enough to bring the Labour Party back from the dead, IMHO.

Looking at what's left after this latest debacle, I seriously wonder who is.
I can't stand the bloke myself, but Starmer looks the best bet to me, but he has that lack of a vagina problem to overcome, the Tories have had two, the LibDems have just lost one, Labour just have to elect a woman to retain any credibility. I suppose Starmer could self-identify as a woman, that's perfectly acceptable these days isn't it, so there you go BT, I've solved Labour's leadership problem for them at a stroke.
