To be fair - irrespective of their agendas and splits, come election time they unite behind a single voice. Labour couldn’t follow suit.

The Labour Party became lost in 2010.

The thing is I don’t disagree on reflection. He has set a narrative and one that we should build on with a new leader. But I worry we lose the good things and slip back to being a party ambivalent on austerity.

Exacerbated by the Brexit issue. It’s not a comparable measure.

Certainly not the effect it had in 2017. In my opinion this is because it was too London focused and too Remain focused. Maybe the infrastructure isn’t there outside of the big city areas. That said - Momentum have as much right to be a part of the Labour family as any other organisation or...

There is also a few GOT people in too.

Watched the whole thing - enjoyed it thoroughly.

Actually it did well where it campaigned - but was not diverse or wide ranging enough.

You could argue that Labour First and Progress should do the same thing. At least Momentum brought with them an organised and effective campaigning machine - the other 2 had nothing like this.

That’s true - but the membership got their choice the last 2 times and it didn’t stop a sizeable portion of people within the PLP actively undermining the leader both in 2017 and 2019. We can’t carry on like this or we won’t ever be able to unite. You only have to look at the ‘justification’...

And the factions will continue. The membership dynamic is completely at odds with the PLP dynamic. If the PLP win then the membership will disappear - and that’s the campaign arm of the party gone. If the membership win then the PLP will continue to just fight itself. I just can’t see anyone...

I’m actually glad the one candidate that Murdoch might endorse is gone.

As if we’ll get the chance to check it’s accurate...

It’s pretty tough to tell their motivations anymore outside of Brexit. Some people in these constituencies blamed the incumbent MP for the woes in their area despite them not being in power.... ‘voting Tory was a vote for change in our circumstances’

Whoever the next person is - if they are even a micrometre left of Rupert Murdoch they will be vilified, hounded and have their character assassinated. This is why I believe Rayner has not stood for Leader at this stage. Having less baggage than Corbyn will temper this (a little)

When I was in my early twenties I worked at a place where the smokers had this culture of every hour on the dot they’d be outside for a cigarette and no one ever challenged it. In the canteen there was a pool table, so 3 of us decided that every time the smokers went out, we’d go down and play...

Drama queens.

I’m wondering if the Venn diagram of Meghan Markle haters and climate-change deniers is just a single circle.

Maybe - but equally the Harry/Meghan story is not a drama... it’s their choice.

Has it ever been a relationship? Seeing as relationship generally bring good things for BOTH parties.
