Nobody chose her. She put herself forward.
I have no idea, do you have any evidence to show they were paid up Labour members? You might want to pass the information you have on to the police.
Do you have an opinion on those, who using your logic are Eagle supporters, who have issued death threats against Corbyn this week?
People in glass houses ...
That aside why have they picked her, she is an appalling candidate.
Her campaign launch was an embarrassing disaster. Then she went on the Sunday Politics and was repeatedly asked to state one policy of hers that was different to Corbyn and couldn't.
She came fourth out of five in the deputy leader election but somehow thinks a few months later she is the person to lead Labour to the promised land.
She'll certainly be hoping nobody looks at her voting record.
Do you really believe the whole thing wasn't co-ordinated and arranged in advance? Her leadership campaign website was registered before the referendum had even taken place!Nobody chose her. She put herself forward.
The BBC live coverage cut away just as Eagle started speaking to show Leadsom's closed front door!Campaign launch went down pretty much like a scene from 'The Thick of It'
Don't know what they are thinking having her oppose Corbyn, there had to be a better option.

I have a suspicion they expected to force Corbyn to resign and when he didn't they had to put up or shut up. And here we are, they tried to change the rules to stop Corbyn standing, that didn't work. They've altered the rules on voting, how much impact that will have is unknown.
Not sure I could stand up and keep a straight face saying Corbyn is unelectable while doing my best to ensure the leadership election is stacked against him.
It's the worrying thing.
Sure, by all means the PLP have the right to be concerned by Corbyn's performance, but they surely realise there's a will for a dynamic left-leaning option, who can hold their own in the basics of, well... talking?
I can't ever see him becoming PM. He has no charisma at all. Labour haven't had a charasmatic leader since Bliar. And they won't get back in until they find someone to pick them up and take them forward.If Corbyn stays in and there is a general election I really fear he will win.
There is too many soppy people in my generation (18-30) who think he is politics saving grace. These are the same people giving everyone who voted leave shit and claiming they know everything.
Dramatic maybe, but this wet blanket will destroy our country even more. Supposedly wants open borders too? If that happens, I'm out for sure.
Labour haven't had a charasmatic leader since Bliar.
It's all right, no need to describe yourself, we all know you know.Gullible, Ill informed and embarrassing.

Corbyn has many many faults I dislike and I wouldn't vote for him. Some do my reasons include he doesn't sing the national anthem as he believes in a republic. He is very scruffy. He said he wouldn't shoot terrorists. He wants open borders. He was very close to the IRA and it's members. He is a staunch pacifist. He protests at everything. He certainly isn't a leader.
Now all that being said the way this coup has been brought about sickens me and it isn't fair on him. He was elected fairly with other candidates and he won. By hook or by crook he won. That's the end of it. He hasn't been a scandal.
The whole labour movement is a shambles and looking at this eagle woman shows just how much it won't recover. She is no opposition and just a chancer rising off the back of this coup. She again looks scruffy.
The party is finished which is a shame. There has to be someone who represents true labour values and can connect with northern cities and towns. Even people who haven't voted before.
I guess in conclusion what I'm saying is whether corbyn or eagle gets in next either way it's on a loser.
He's a staunch pacifist who protests at everything.

Won't it be the 3rd man? Owen Smith.guess in conclusion what I'm saying is whether corbyn or eagle gets in next either way it's on a loser.

Nobody does, spooky isn't it!Don't know anything about him. Do you?
Amazing what free transfers are knocking about.Boris Johnson as Foreign Secretary!
All I know about him is that he appears deluded.Don't know anything about him. Do you?
She seems to believe she is nailed on next leader because she is a woman. Like that is a prerequisite??! That whole approach devalues the role of Office imo. It suggests that image or perception are the most important thing as the men in grey suits make all the policies & decisions & strategy anyhow.Watched her on Newsnight last night. She's criticising Corbyn for lack of leadership doesn't have much charisma herself IMO.
This is losing all reality.
We have Jezza who seems to think that he is untouchable. He ignores what most of his colleagues say. Then you have May and Hammond working together trying to bring everything together and sort out all of the crap that comes their way.
Can anyone think of another TV show that British politics should try to emulate next?
And he was also on Top GearYou'll be telling us next that Boris is head diplomat ..,,;-)
Glad to see the back of Osborne, together with Cameron, both culpable of threatening the electorate over the EU and both Etonian out of touch toffs ! Well done Mrs May !!
Wasn't Johnson at the same school as Cameron? School argument doesn't work here. Cameron went of his own accord - nothing to do with Mrs May - as far as I recall. Do you think the Boris appointment is seen as a good idea? Here they see Johnson as a liar and a clown and don't think he should be rewarded for those characteristics. At best she has handed him "enough rope" - let's hope he makes good use of it.
Not sure I'd agree with that. The bigger problem is the modern personality politics overshadowing policy. Which of his policies do you think would be hugely unpopular?Corbyns policies are of a dinosaur age - he would be rejected massively by the electorate.
Just as well we've got rid of Cameron then. Wouldn't want someone in charge who spends time around people like that.Terrorist loving thug
And that's why so many people, particularly of the younger generation, have little interest in politics.Right now we have Tory, red Tory and racist Tory
