Burgon exposes the real victim in this sordid affair; Jeremy Corbyn

AKA The Real Issues.

The same Corbyn who was going ask Putin if he poisoned that bloke?

The only person currently right for leadership would be the right to Starmer, Rayner is going suffer the tax thing so unless she starts flinging mud about the hacking of Kemi early on it’s going get nasty.

Pat McFadden would in more sensible era be a safe pair of hands, Darren Jones sadly hasn’t had long enough same goes for someone like Torsten Bell in Swansea. Cooper got dragged a bit with the home office otherwise she would have been a choice as would be Bridget Phillipson but she lost the deputy leadership though not to the level of fatal.

So I loathe to say it but is Wes Streeting the one?

Oh and by the way I once had a decent friendship with Wes and I don’t mind him but some positions have irked me a bit. I suppose he is most likely to keep Reeves in post.

Agreed, though for slightly different reasons. I can't see any of them doing as good a job as Starmer on the international stage - can you imagine Rayner trying to handle a WH meeting with Trump and Vance, or responding to the latest act of aggression by Trump or Putin (or anyone else).
I also think Darren Jones is one to watch as a future leader, but, with reservations, Wes will get my vote when the time comes.

NB I'm afraid to say I know bugger all about Torsten Bell - what's he done that's impressed you?
